I have no doubt that, as usual, all the really anti-gun politicians will hide. Our anti-gun, pro-tax-and-spend Gov. will likely refuse to meet with any of the rally goers too... even tho' he's supposed to work for us. It is getting harder for the 'on-the-fence' politicians to ignore our voices. We won't get concealed carry or repeal of the FOID card as long as we have Quinn... but we're closer than we have been in a long time. The more people show up at the rally... the more influence we have.
