Firearm News

Julie, Firearm Mentor has adopted a new software, and will be communicating in a slightly different manner.  Previously, we sent out a newsletter.  We are changing to a blog on our website.  We will still send out communications such as this, but readers will be directed to the blog.

Guns Save Life

We have been asked to begin a Lake County (and northern Cook County) Guns Save Life chapter.  This educational organization reports on the laws, changes in the law, and bills that change firearm laws.  Each meeting has a 50/50 and a drawing for a firearm.  Tickets are $5, and in October, the firearm is a sharp Ruger 1911 in 9mm, similar to the photo below.

Cigars, Anyone?

Annually, there is a “little smoke” cigar event for charity.  It is in Villa Park from 6-10 pm on September 17.  The cost is $60 and there is a ton of food and drink (included), door prizes, raffles, and a silent auction.  I donated a gun safe and some firearms accessories.   If interested, let me know and I can put you in contact with the organizer to purchase tickets.

New Project

We are currently working on a second book, which will detail the physiological and psychological reactions to a violent incident.  There are similar books for the military and law enforcement, but nothing for the regular Concealed Carry Protector.

You can contribute to this much needed information through kickstarter:  www.AntiViolenceProject.com

Any dollar amount helps.
