Nike Shoe Company had a special Betsy Ross Flag shoe to release for the Fourth of July holiday. The white shoe with red trim featured a replica of the famous flag she sewed on the heel.

Summer is here and hopefully the rain will be slowing down and we can all get out and enjoy our favorite shooting activities. Summer leagues are flourishing so be sure to take advantage of them. The National Matches start in a little over a week at Camp Perry, Ohio. This will be the last year for them at Camp Perry. Next year they will be held at Camp Atterbury in Indiana. If you have never been to Camp Perry, this is your last chance.

I have received several calls asking how I know Julie Morrison (D-Deerfield) is going to run the FOID card bill (SB1966) in Veto Session. The answer does not require being much of a clairvoyant. She announced it in her newsletter. Morrison does not intend to stop there. She held a town hall meeting last week and talked about confiscation of AR15s and other such firearms.

We have learned that the Kathleen Willis FOID Card Bill
(SB1966) is scheduled to be voted on in one of the upcoming Veto Sessions. The
first Veto Session is scheduled for October 28, 29, and 30. The second Veto Session is scheduled for
November 12, 13 and 14. There is enough
time before either session for things to change, but there is very little time
to get ready should the vote come in one of these sessions. I encourage all firearm owners to attend
every possible townhall meeting you possibly can this summer, fall and
winter. The same is true for every gun
club meeting, gun show and wherever gun owners gather. The fact is the fight is on and the
antigunners are out for blood. In a Town Hall meeting held on Tuesday Senator
Julie Morrison (D-Deerfield) was even willing to use the word “confiscation”. See Video

Today is the 75th Anniversary of D-Day. Soldiers from the United States, Canada and Great Britain were engaged in the greatest waterborne invasion in history. They were assaulting Hitler’s Atlantic Wall. To give you an idea of what it involved to do the D-Day Operation, there were 11,590 aircraft, 6939 vessels, 132,715 allied troops, 196,700 sailors and 7,000,000 tons of supplies, including 450,000 tons of ammunition. By June 11, the Allies had landed 326,537 troops, 54,186 vehicles and 104,428 tons of supplies. The troops began the arduous and deadly job of pushing deeper and deeper in France, hedge row by hedge row.
