Clinton, IL (Guns Save Life) – In an effort to help our friends and neighbors become better prepared for emergencies, Guns Save Life is once again sponsoring a Preparedness Expo Saturday, August 10th from 9a.m. -5:30p.m. The event will take place at the DeWitt County Sportsmen’s Club six miles east of Clinton on State Route 10.

Topics under consideration include storm preparedness, basic first aid and post-disaster strategies, live fire with handguns and/or rifles and more.
Also, we’re possibly going to have representatives from FEMA and/or local ESDA on hand.
There will be lots of free handouts and guides available.
Had a great time today… Thanks to everyone for putting it on. The only bad part was having to choose between presentations. BTW, signed up for GSL today… Looking forward to belonging to such a great organization!
