Friday July 9, 2010 from 11:00am - 1:00 pm at the
James R. Thompson Center

The rally that celebrates the restoration of the right to keep and bear arms!

Second Amendment Freedom Rally sponsors, Illinois State Rifle Association and IllinoisCarry.com, welcome the plaintiffs from the case! Other special guests include WVON's Charles Butler & several local activists! Cisco Cotto from WLS-AM will MC this event!

Event Details

It is important that we put our best foot forward and present the best image of Illinois firearm owners - friendly, courteous, and respectful of the other attendees and our surroundings. Suggested attire is casual/business casual. The rally is outside on the plaza, bring sunscreen if you are so inclined. There is a food court in the downstairs portion of the Thompson Center if you need to grab a quick bite before or after the event. We have been instructed to keep the entrances to the Thompson Center clear and also that we stay out of the street and not cause a traffic hazard.

There are many ways to get to the Thompson Center via public transportation: CTA Trains and buses, Metra, Amtrak. Go to ChicagoRally.isra.org for more details.


Volunteers

Additional volunteers are needed for ground crew at the event, and will meet at 10:00 at the stage on the plaza. Contact Don Gwinn if you can help out, send mail to: dongwinn@thefiringline.com.

Great celebration! Thanks go out to the McDonald plaintiffs.

About 300 people gathered at the Thompson Center to celebrate the Second Amendment and the application to the states and local governments via McDonald vs Chicago. As a spokesman for the ISRA stated that the mayor has conveniently left for a conference in Idaho where he will address other mayors and share how they can ruin their cities. Residents of ID can rest assured his abuse of power does not extend beyond his home state.
