Don't forget, we've had a lot of new shooters and instructors on the forum since the last one of these.  The new folks may not know what the "bar" is.  I wasn't at the last one, and it took me a while to figure it out from the aar posts.  Just to enlighten those who have recently come aboard:  the "bar" at the Great Illinois IBC has nothing to do with liquor!

I knew it was a joke; I was just making sure the new folks knew.   

Although on Lexington Green, before dawn, while waiting to see what happened, 70 riflemen DID walk into a bar...

After firing a volley of course! :--- No loaded muskets in the bar area! **)
A firearm is only an instrument. It contains no evil, no conscience, and no ability. It is strictly the intent, competence, and character of its user that decide the outcome of any and all actions taken with it.

That bar was a funny place to hang out it had entertainment value. Until you were the one that hit it then it wasn't so funny.

ARE YOU GOING TO BE THERE ????????

It depends, how tall is that bar? **)

I am planning on being there with a helmet if necessary.  I already have enough lumps on this melon.  :D
Seriously though, I plan on making it a priority.

That bar and I are good friends.....  May as well been a magnet in my forehead.

"...we have the choice to pursue, in the course of our life, one of two sets of principles - either the principles of power and privilege or the principles of truth and justice. If you pursue truth and justice it will always mean a diminution of your power and privilege. If you pursue power and privilege it will always be at the expense of truth and justice."
The forum is but a blank slate that records what we type.  If it sucks, why is that?  Anyone have an extra mirror for people?
