skeet,
I'm sorry you have such a low opinion of my State and sorry you are so narrow minded that you won't give an event a chance. We would miss you, but hay, everyone to his/her own.
The fact is that the ATA has a long term deal with the state and will be here for a very long time. The $50 million plus that was spent looks to me like someone was trying to be very very sportsman/gun owner friendly. I've lived in downstate Illinois all my life and other than having eastern outfitters trying to take over all the hunting grounds have never had a problem with gun laws or hunting areas. In fact I believe the State of Illinois has returned more land to sportsman use than any other, and that's with a democratic idiot of a Governor. Of course domestic abuse and child molesters, felons, druggies and some other creeps have a hard time legally buying a gun but they can always go to Chicago.
I wish you would reconsider and make an appearance at next years Grands, I think you would be surprised.
