Reitz Welcomes Illinois State Rifle Association Members to Capitol

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – State Rep. Nathan Reitz, D-Steeleville, recently met with members of the Illinois State Rifle Association (ISRA), as hundreds of gun owners visited the Capitol for Illinois Gun Owner Lobby Day (IGOLD).

“One of the first pieces of legislation I passed in Springfield was a bipartisan measure to cut burdensome red tape on gun owners who are following the law,” said Reitz. “I will continue standing up for Southern Illinois and our traditions by protecting our constitutional rights and supporting responsible gun owners in Illinois.”

Reitz recently passed a new law that extends the life of renewed concealed carry licenses, and reduces restrictions on military members and police officers, who have already received extensive training on handling a firearm. Reitz is also inviting local residents to his upcoming Gun Rights Update with the ISRA at the World Shooting and Recreational Complex on Dec. 14.
