Self-Defense Law Suit in Illinois

Ron,

Thanks for posting this. I'm happy to see someone with direct interest (Mary Shepard) challenging the Illinois position on self defense carry.

I recently videotaped Alan Gura (the lawyer that brought the Chicago MacDonald lawsuit and the Washington Heller lawsuits) discussing his efforts, the overall efforts of the gun rights community and the NRA.

The video is at: YouTube (click here) and was videotaped at the recent Grass Roots North Carolina dinner.

The net of his address that night was to warn about problems that happen when an organization that is focused on political lobbying gets involved with constitutional litigation.

They are two different things. They have very different impact and long term effects. They are done in different ways.

I'm a Life NRA member, and a NRA certified instructor. I urge members here to view Alan's short video and get in touch with the NRA about their litigation activities.

Marc
