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...

Umbrella Corporation Weapons Research Group Limited Edition Lower

  A quick photo review of the Umbrella Corporation Weapons Research Group Limited Edition Lower featuring some of Rick’s excellent photos.   Umbrella Corporation Weapons Research Group – UCWRG is a newer manufacturer to the field(since 2007). They’ve licensed the red and white umbrella logo you might be familiar with from the Resident Evil movies, and are in the business of design and building of parts and weapons systems for civilian, LEO, government. The lower featured below is a limited edition run of 200 lowers they used to promote Umbrella Corp and drive some interest in their upcoming limited edition billet lowers.   We picked up 3 of these lowers, and barely got our order in before they ran out, judging by our late serial numbers. The lowers were manufactured by Mega Arms for Umbrella Corp, and are every bit of awesome that we expect from them.
