THE REP.LAURIE FINE FORUM, SHUT-DOWN. THANK YOU...GLENVIEW OFFICIALS!!!

Rep. Laurie Fine attempted to hold a one sided, biased forum of Gun Control Advocates that would have promoted their Anti-Second Amendment agenda and not given a fair opportunity to Second Amendment defenders to respond to their statements. The Illinois State Rifle Association alerted us to this event and we, along with hundreds of our fellow members were going to attend this meeting and have our side represented, whether Rep. Laurie Fine, liked it or not! Illinois Gun-Owners are not going to allow this kind of non-sense to take place, without our position being heard...thankfully, the Village of Glenview Officials took action and put a stop to this fiasco that Rep.Laurie Fine had tried to put on. Rep. Laurie Fine, voted against the Conceal Carry Bill, even though the Federal Court had Ordered the state to repeal the Ban against carrying a loaded firearm. The Illinois Supreme Court and the Federal Appeals Court both found the AUUW/UUW Law to be UnConstitutional, yet it is still being enforced! This fact could dismantle the entire Illinois Conceal Carry License System and even the FOID Card System. Rep.Laurie Fine, is not keeping up with the times, she has failed to understand the gravity of the courts strinking down the UnConstitutional AUUW/UUW Law. In my opinion, she has been closed minded and did not invite a single Pro-Conceal Carry or Pro-Second Amendment Advocate person or group to speak at the event. We need better leadership and more honesty from Rep. Laurie Fine.
