    The decision would appear to impact all state-owned parks, recreation areas and historic sites, including Pere Marquette State Park and Lodge, Cahokia Mounds and the World Shooting Complex in Sparta.
    I SAW THIS ON THE WEB.
    I see where Florida canceled their State shoot and maybe the Grand American will be cancelled. If anything Illinois will be more broke after this virus shutdown and will not want to finance the shooters.Pritzker will use this as a excuse to forward his anti gun agenda.Maybe the ATA can purchase this site for pennies on the dollar

    I just seen that the Tulsa Arms gun show in Tulsa Oklahoma has been canceled. It was scheduled for April 3-4
    It looks like it is going to be a tough year for the economy and the working class will be the big loser.
    The people that make these decisions care little for the people at the bottom,some of the affected people struggle just to pay their Bill's and put food on the table.
    Politicians create more problems than they have fixes for.

    If the ATA bought it for 10 cents on the dollar it would still be over priced, and they still won't draw a crowd ... WPT ... (YAC) ...

    Whatever it takes to keep Gipson and his corrupt 2012Pull gang there is fine with me. But, the land be sold at highest bid. A state park has never been sold in Illinois.

    I wondered what that sound was.

    Oh, the weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth!

    I can hear it all the way down here in FL. from those four or five that live next door to that outpost.

    Bet that is like getting hit with a flack round right in the Bombay. Photoshop that!

    Funny thing is, the lurkers can't even say it let alone post it anywhere.

    This virus is all a hoax and if we just ignore it then it will go away and everything will be fine. The ata won't miss a beat and we can all go and shoot anywhere we want and pat one another on the back because we were right.

    You guys should probably all go to the FL state shoot.

    What's that?

    Oh, my bad.

    I've heard that place compared to a lot of things but comparing it to hell just might be the best.

    Its amazing the FTA wanted to hold the state shoot but a Chicago based REIT (ELS) pulled the plug, might have had a little push from Pritzger & the IDNR

    In all reality the FTA-should be renamed the Silver Dollar Shooters Ass
