Champaign, IL's uber-woke Mayor Lil Debbie Feinen used her "Meet the Mayor" segment on The Morning Show (whatever that is) to tsk tsk Champaign's residents that they shouldn't light off fireworks.  Apparently that's her biggest priority, even though gangs are shooting it out on the streets of her city which…

Yesterday was the oral arguments in Sangamon County Circuit Court over Guns Save Life's challenge to the FOID statute.  A statute which we see as patently unconstitutional because, as we all know, there were no FOID cards in 1791 to own firearms or ammunition. I was unable to attend as…

The pen is mightier than the sword.  And Saul Alinsky is absolutely right that ridicule is man's most potent weapon.  Well, when he's not armed, that is. Bloomington Police felt the sting of coverage of their gun-rusting box "giveaway" that I profiled both at The Truth About Guns and here…

You play stupid games, expect to win stupid prizes.  Or, put another way, carry a hatchet around intimidating your neighbors, expect them to call the cops.  One way or another, you will put that hatchet down, assuming a good guy gun owner doesn't appear before the cops do. In Des…

A Lake Barrington man told cops he was dreaming when he fired a shot in his sleep, wounding himself in the leg.  Call me skeptical, but I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one catching a wife of incredulity in this 62-year-old's claims.  Even taking him at his word, it…
