They took the lead on McDonald v. Chicago and were kind enough to show us all the first big ass check Rahm had to write to the gun people, but far from the last he'll have to sign.

They also run some really fun shoots at their range. Several Garand matches, High Power shoots, "Winter Wars" every January and Carbine/Pistol combat matches for beginners.
