Founder of Illinois Firearm Owners, BWHaas

Alright guys (and gals), this is going to be a fairly long article, but I ask that all of you do take the time to read it.   (Ahem)   Like some of your know, I am originally from the Mid-Michigan area, where it is more common to see people open carrying handguns and most everyone you come across is happy to discuss the firearms they own with you.  When I moved to Illinois for business, I was worried about the firearm ownership culture here.  As I have found out over the last few years, there are more people here than anyone outside of Illinois would expect to be Pro-2A.  I was very pleased when I was introduced to this group by Rick Cancino and I have met several of you throughout the last 6 months or so that I’ve been here.  I have to say, every day I am glad to read the words and thoughts posted here and on the FB page.  I have “friended” most of you here on FB and for those of you I haven’t, it’s only because I didn’t feel that it was appropriate yet for me to do so as I think there is a lack of human interaction on Facebook before people allow them into their personal lives.   When I was living in Michigan, I was a part of several committees with the Michigan Gun Owners Non-Profit Organization and really enjoyed the camaraderie that was created there and the dialogue that became the reference material that I studied as a beginner to firearms ownership.  I met many people through that organization and still am involved as much as I can be from a 300+ miles away.  Although this Facebook group creates this to a point, there is another way that it can be created that allows an even larger network of like-minded individuals to access it.  I would like to create such an atmosphere here in Illinois.  I started a Non-profit organization here in Illinois called the Illinois Firearm Owners Organization and I invite all of you to join and participate in spreading the word about our organization and our Forum (www.illinoisfirearmowners.org/forum/index.php).  Like our Facebook...

De-Loading Ammo

  Please excuse the camera phone photo, I’ve grounded myself from the Nikon till I finish writing this up. Imagine 100, perfect little bits of brass, powder, and lead. All the same length, weight, headstamp, and powder load. As perfect as a progressive press could possibly get them..except for one thing, I was a dumb-ass and read the wrong reloading data and greatly underloaded all 100 rounds. It took me two hours to carefully disassemble these 100 rounds to the base components. This was plenty of time for me to kick my own butt for reading the wrong line of the reloading data. Please, learn from my mistake, and always double check your data. I got off easy… Click here to like FireSpeed Tactical on Facebook so you can see updates on when new articles are posted.
