Upcoming 16 Hour IL Concealed Carry Class November 15 & 16, 2014 - Contact Us to register The Thanksgiving holiday gives me a wonderful opportunity to express my gratitude to you, my valued students, friends and colleagues. We learn so much from each other! Check out National Shooting Sports Foundation’s #GunVote From ISRA Executive Director, Richard Pearson: “It is possible we will hit the 100,000 [IL Concealed Carry] application mark by January 1, 2015.”… Are you an ISRA member? Stay in the loop! Join the ISRA, it’s quick and easy and it only costs $25.00 a year! NY Rookie Police were just “chillin” right before hatchet attack. Sometimes being struck is the first indication of violence. When out in public, remain in : Relaxed State of Awareness. When you get home for the day, is your defensive pistol on your person or otherwise accessible? Remember the 5 second rule! Glendale family victims of home invasion; may have been targeted after moving in. Jose Canseco accidentally shot off one of his middle fingers Preventable? Yes! Don’t let it happen to you! Finger in “Register” Position…Muzzle Pointed in a “Safe Direction” and the Pistol’s Unloaded Status is Visually and Manually Verified. Haven’t yet applied online for your ILCCF license? You can now skip the Internet and start the “alternative process” with a phone call to the ISP: (217) 782-7980. An ISP rep will take your info to get started as well as your $150.00. Your application will arrive via the US mail. Complete the application, include your certificate(s) and picture and mail it back to the ISP. Musically tuned steel plates! The Star Spangled Banner is great! But I’d love to see and hear a “shooting” rendition of the "Flight of the Bumble Bee" at real speed--Jerry Miculek or Rob Leatham probably could do that—with a belt-fed Ruger 10/22! :) Ravelin’s Blog Post for November: Rookie Hunter Bags A Deer!
