Flyer here. If you have dialup, try here's a smaller file.
Dr. Suzanna Hupp -- who is one compelling speaker -- will address the rally.
Hat tip to Carl in Chicago, of course!

In Illinois, there seems to have been a disconnect to the old rule I learned decades ago in a basic government class: Cities are a creation of the state.
I fear for their safety. Chicago Police are genuinely dangerous and the "community organizer" types just as bad.
Robert, there is no reason to fear for safety. Most Chicago police officers genuinely agree with the 2A and many support concealed carry.
The rally will go on, and almost certainly will happen without incident. As has been said, there is nothing to fear but fear, itself.

Unless they're willing to cross their superiors, that's irrelevant. At most, it means that those individuals won't wield the clubs; Chicago has plenty of folks who are willing to do so.
Police officers do what their leadership tells them to do. In Chicago, it doesn't matter what the law is or isn't, it only matters what the police leadership has decided will be done. The Chicago Police aren't even accountable for murder up there.
This is going to be awesome. The gun rights movement in Illinois is finally breaking out of the old trap--"we" own downstate, and "they" own Chicago.
"They" own NOTHING now. We're going to shout the truth in their own backyard.
