[A] grassroots effort to get Illinois counties to state their support for the Second Amendment has come to local soil.
Members of the McHenry County Board on Tuesday will decide whether to approve a resolution stating their opposition to any legislation that would infringe upon the right to bear arms. Essentially an advisory statement, the proposal is meant to send a message to state legislators about the constituents’ views on gun control laws, said Nick Provenzano, chairman of the County Board’s Law & Justice Committee.
His group approved it, 6-0, to applause from a group of gun advocates.
Here's the resolution.
Per Les K, the board will meet this coming Tuesday, so McHenry County gun owners should give them a call.
Why not do it right now? And spread the word? And leave a well-reasoned comment at the title link's Northwest Herald article?
If I lived there, I'd also plan on attending with other supporters.
Come on, Illinois gun owners. What are you, too busy?
UPDATE: Resolution postponed after NUI shooting. Contact the Board to find out when they plan to introduce it. If you told anyone about this and they planned to attend, you probably want to call them off pending a reschedule.
