Currently 91 Counties have stood up for your rights!!
This site was begun to promote the Pro Second Amendment Resolution that is currently sweeping
Illinois. It was the intent of the founders of the resolution to have the resolution submitted and hopefully passed in as
many counties as possible in Illinois. Thereby sending a strong message to legislators in Illinois that the supporting counties,
Illinois gun owners and supporters have had enough of the anti-gun legislation in Illinois. The information contained within
is for anyone who might be considering promoting the resolution in their county. A copy of the resolution is posted on this
page, it may be cut and pasted or you may go to the Documents tab and download the resolution from there. If you have
any questions or concerns please go to the contact page for links to contact us.
Please, frequently check all of our tabs as we are adding information weekly, and sometimes daily.
We would also like to point out that elected officials, both state and county, are required by state law to swear an Oath
or Affirmation of Office to support the U.S. Constitution and the Illinois Constitution. Thereby swearing to support the Second
Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and Article I, Section 22 of the Illinois Constitution which is quoted below.
Article XIII SECTION 3. OATH OR AFFIRMATION OF OFFICE
Each prospective holder of a State office or other State position created by this Constitution, before taking office,
shall take and subscribe to the following oath or affirmation: "I do solemnly swear (affirm) that I will support the
Constitution of the United States, and the Constitution of the State of Illinois, and that I will faithfully discharge the
duties of the office of .... to the best of my ability."
