Illinois Update

[Lawdog Dago Dom]

Spent the evening with a very productive meeting with some strong Second Amendment folks. John Boch, Illinois Director of Guns Save Life; John Weber, new NRA/ILA Lobbyist/Illinois State Director; and Scotty Bryant, President of the Illinois Federation of Outdoor Resources.

 

John Weber also represents the states of Connecticut and North Carolina, but spend 80% of his time in Illinois (go figure). He has a full plate, but is quite willing to go the extra mile for gun owners. He's only 33, but has a really good grasp of Illinois politics and all of the players. I really liked his enthusiasm.

 

The Illinois Federation for Outdoor Resources is an umbrella group that covers hunters, fishing, trapping, firearms, snowmoblies, ATV, bicycles, watercraft, etc. Scotty Bryant made it clear that political attacks on ANY outdoor activity, got their attention. He also emphasized the need for all of these outdoor sport groups to come together to fight Second Amendment issues that affect all of us. Scotty walks the walk, too. He went to a meeting and told many Chicago legislators, that they needed to clean up their mess. Within 24 hours he received anonymous death threats. Yep, you read that right.  Scotty's group is www.if-or.org.

 

Now is the time for ALL Illinois outdoor folks to come together. Let's go!

 

Your TEAM SASS folks are out there working for you!
