What to do, what to do?
I’ve been good all week, going to work and calling politicians on my lunch break.
What worthwhile thing can I do on a weekend?
There are plenty of things to do, and we here at Guns Save Life help you keep track of them.
There’s Appleseed, including the Guns Save Life sponsored Appleseed coming up at Darnall’s Ranges in Bloomington, IL on June 1 & 2.
There’s United States Riflemen’s Association (USRA).
There’s Illinois Department of Natural Resources Wingshooting Clinics.
There’s training opportunities, such as GSL Defense Training and other opportunities that can be found here:
And of course, there are lots of events at local clubs, gun shows, and other firearm-related events that can be found in every print edition of GunNews, starting on page 23. Here’s a bit of that list, from the soon to be published June issue.
