Where Illinois Candidates Stand On Your Gun Rights

We're a family-run Aurora gun shop and manufacturer, and we sit down with the people asking for your vote. This is our own honest read — a 1–10 scorecard on the issues that decide whether you can still own, carry, build, and buy in Illinois. Federal to local.

These are our opinions, based on our meetings and the public record — not a paid endorsement and not coordinated with any campaign. We don't take a cent; donation links go straight to each candidate's own campaign.

More Than One Good Choice?

Some races are fortunate to have two or three strong, pro-industry candidates. When that happens we list them all as vetted champions rather than crowning one — use the Compare tool to put their scorecards side by side and decide for yourself.
