One Blue Island police officer has a whole mountain of problems in front of him.  Cops say he became enraged after a minor traffic collision with another motorist who happened to be an off-duty Chicago cop out on maternity leave.  The hot-tempered Blue Island cop may have missed his last…

James Reynolds from Crystal Lake won the M1A Scout Squad at the drawing last Thursday evening at GSL's LaSalle regional meeting at Jamie's Outpost in Utica.  A young man with his eyes shut drew the winning ticket. Mr. Reynolds was one of the last-minute entries that came by mail.  Talk…

  Yes, Virginia, we are giving away a Springfield Armory M1A Scout Squad tonight near the end of the LaSalle County GSL meeting at Jamie's Outpost in Utica. This firearm is (obviously) Illinois legal.  It’s basically a carbine-length M1A with a muzzle brake instead of a flash suppressor making a…

If she can't handle some simple questions in a TV news interview, how is she going to handle shrewd, aggressive world leaders?  Kamala Harris (Que Mala!) appeared with Fox News' Brett Baier last night.  It didn't go well for Kamala as Baier asked her some pointed, bordering on tough questions.…

One thing that gets the attention of anti-gun pols is reaching into their pocketbook.  Especially if it's their personal checkbook.  Florida Carry's attorney Eric Friday (yes, that's his real name) sent the city of Okeechobee a demand letter seeking $30,000 over their clearly unlawful and unconstitutional order banning people from…

We reported on how the Chicago Contrarian broke the story of "defund the police" cuts coming to Murder City USA's police force.  It's worse than we imagined. Not only is Mayor Mayhem Johnson not going to backfill the 1700 vacant police officer positions, he's effectively adding to that number by…

This is Todd's second trip from Southern Illinois this week hauling packed trailers of donated goods to the hurricane devasted survivors as far east as he can get…

Leave it to the legacy media to cast a defensive gun use in a negative light.  So it's 2:10am.  An overnight employee of Walgreens has a carry license and recognizes that bad things happen after midnight.  Shoplifters load up on loot and employees go to confront the individual but it…

Chicago residents had better get used to fewer emergency services.  The people you have elected there have funneled so much money to housing, feeding and caring for illegal aliens (who they see as future voters), that there isn't money for police and fire protection.  Already, Mayor Brandon Johnson is negotiating…
