Please mark your calendars for Wednesday, February 23, when the Illinois State Rifle Association (ISRA) will be holding its Lobby Day in Springfield. This is an annual event where ISRA members, and anyone else interested in advancing our Right to Keep and Bear Arms, directly lobby their representatives in the Illinois House and Senate. If you can attend, please plan to meet in the cafeteria in the basement of the Stratton Building from 8:00 am to 9:00 am for registration. The cafeteria opens for breakfast at 7:00 am. At 9:00 am, there will be a legislative briefing, and then all will proceed to the Capitol Building to find their respective representatives. If you need more information, please call the ISRA office at 815-635-3198 or visit www.isra.org.
