Well here are the pictures and video's I have from Saturday's Rainbow push protest of Suburban Sporting in Melrose Park.

here is a link to the channel 7 media report.

yes, that is me on TV.

Even though it looked like push had won in the media. Be advised that I was able to make a contact with Evelyn Holmes. I have already given her cell number of Mike Weisman of ISRA and I'll try to coordinate an interview with Kenn Blanchard of Tenth Calvery Gun Club.

Off camera, she was very interested in hearing from gun rights groups. she had of course to be objective, which I respect. I was able to tell her about 50 caliber weapons, and the real truth about the issue and "assault weapons". I didn't get a chance to talk about conceal carry but I did show her my two conceal carry licenses and my FOID card; we did talk about the lady who was arrested recently near the Sears tower and even she understands that the lady didn't know about Illinois's non-conceal carry laws.

The protest was very interesting and I do see the dividing lines among this issue. I was able to get the reporters number and also met Mike Weisman of ISRA and also got a contact from someone at Rainbow push HQ.

The biggest problem I see and hopefully can be changed is the lack of media presence of responsible gunowners. Which hopefully we can change.
