ALGC members Nick and Ray traveled to the Vortex Optics Headquarters in Wisconsin earlier this year to participate in a Vortex Nation Podcast. The invitation came when Nick responded to some misinformation in another Vortex Nation Podcast. They loaded up the car and headed north. This is a long podcast but well worth watching.

The Landmark Auto Group surprised the local firearms community a few months ago when "No Firearms" signs appeared in the windows of their dealerships.

ALGC members (along with many local 2nd Amendment supporters and the Guns Save Life organization) challenged the infringement of our Constitutional rights by this long-time local retailer. A meeting with Landmark Group CEO Sean Grant clarified the appearance of the signs. The signs were a reaction to loaded, unattended firearms being left in vehicles that were dropped off for service at the Landmark dealerships. It was never the intention to infringe rights, but rather an unfortunate consequence. 

Mr. Grant was sympathetic to the impact of the signs on the local firearms community and has chosen to remove them from the dealerships. New dealership policies will be implemented to manage the unattended firearms situation. It has been confirmed that the signs have been removed from the Landmark dealerships. Thank you to Mr. Grant and to everyone in the firearms community that worked so hard to restore our rights.

Abe Lincoln Gun Club is offering three dates this fall for youth aged 8 through 19 to come out and shoot our .22 rifles on our outdoor 50 yard ranges. 

Sunday September 8th

Sunday October 6th

Sunday November 3rd

All dates are two hour sessions from 3 to 5 PM

The club will provide all rifles, ammunition, targets, and equipment needed at no cost to participants. Open to children of members and non-members alike. No FOID required. All participants and their escorting adult over 21 must have an ALGC liability waiver signed or on file before being allowed on the range.

Safe firearms handling rules, proper firing line behavior, and shooting technique will be instructed and developed during each session using our single-shot .22 target rifles. Try one session or come to all thress. Space on the range is limited, so all participants must reserve a spot before each date by email and receive return confirmation.

Inclement weather moves an event to the indoor 25 yard range.
