Why did they pick Mordor on the Lake?

Not going, as I refuse to spend my money for things that will generate tax revenues that will support that place.

(IF they come out with a presser that explains how holding the conference there will actually help bring the anti-gun/anti-freedom policies crashing down, I'll read it and consider if I should change my decision.)

stay safe.
If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

Belly of the Beast.  It was held there 2 or 3 years ago.

For me, the O'hare Hyatt is easy to get to.  I've been to bunches of trade shows there, in years past.

Belly of the Beast.  ....

In this context, what the haich - ee -double - el does that mean?  Nobody has suggested that you or they lack the gonadal impetus to venture forth and show yourself to the dragon.  But I fail to see how this comes even close to tweaking its nose/twisting its tail.

They're holding the conference in the city that has been forced to allow concealed carry on its streets; a place where the movement has scored a major victory. Makes sense.

Call it a victory lap, if that helps you.

OK, so don't go.

I missed it last time, do want to make it this time.
