Gun-free zones are ‘killing zones,’ says Illinois activist

A leading female gun rights advocate in Illinois was quoted yesterday by The Southern Illinoisan, which serves several communities in the lower Prairie State, stating unequivocally that so-called “gun-free” zones are “killing zones.”

That leading gun rights activist is Valinda Rowe spokesperson for Illinoiscarry.com and one of the reasons we have concealed carry in Illinois today. Yesterday at the Illinois capital she spoke to a crowd of Illinois Gun Owner Lobby day attendees about "gun free zones" and how they are "killing zones" and when she ended her talk saying "gun free zones are killing zones" and then repeated it loader and about 1200 or of us joined in for about a minute shouting "gun free zones are killing zones" hopefully we made an impression on some legislators that support the 23 "CPZs" in the current law.
