Yednock, Illinois State Rifle Association to Host Gun Rights Seminar

STREATOR, Ill. – State Rep. Lance Yednock, D-Ottawa, and representatives from the Illinois State Rifle Association will partner to offer gun owners a free Gun Rights Seminar to review Illinois law and assist residents with Firearm Owner Identification (FOID) Card applications.

“Every day, Chicago politicians are actively working to make new laws to restrict law-abiding citizens’ rights,” Yednock said. “I proudly voted against the legislation that would revoke peoples’ FOID cards, and Illinois should be focused on helping people with mental illness while cracking down on repeat offenders.” 

Yednock is partnering with the Illinois State Rifle Association to update Illinois gun owners on their rights and assist with FOID card applications. Yednock’s event will take place on Monday, Aug. 26 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Streator American Legion Post 217, located at 218 W. Main St. This event is free and open to the public.

“Representative Yednock has protected the rights of responsible gun owners, and I am glad to partner with him to help local residents understand their rights,” said Richard Pearson, Executive Director for the Illinois State Rifle Association. “With Second Amendment rights under attack by Chicago politicians, Illinois needs more leaders to defend peoples’ rights.”
