The fight for the Second Amendment is happening right now—and it’s happening right here in Illinois.

This isn’t just another event—it’s an opportunity to get informed, get involved, and stand alongside other Second Amendment supporters from across Illinois.

Stop by to:

• Pick up Second Amendment materials, NRA bumper stickers, and pro-2A resources
• Meet Fritz Fritzgerald and Kane Bateman, your FrontLines Activist Leaders
• Connect directly with NRA-ILA and learn how you can get involved in grassroots efforts
