What town?

Woodridge.
However, WE won the fight!!!

The meeting was at overflow capacity of at least 200 - ALL NRA or pro-gun. Standing room only and the 'Resolution' was defeated 4-2 (maybe 5-2 I couldn't hear one vote). The TWO gun-grabbing Trustees are now guaranteed definite ouster in the next election that their 'seats' come up.

The gun-grabbers presents a slide show of BRADY CENTER propaganda and naturally catcalls and boos from the audience resulted. Especially when Kerry's name was shown as a backer of the AWB! 'We' had spokesman give presentations by the local Citizens for Firearm Safety group (pro-gun), the NRA and the ILRA.

One of the Trustees who voted 'Nay', also is an NRA member and owns most of the weapons covered under the expanded ban. He gave the verbal 'riot act' to his two fellow gun grabbing Trustees on this resolution.

And not to brag, but some of my correspondence (documentation) to the board over the last week was also effective. One woman Trustee quoted one of my emails almost verbatim. Another Trustee also referenced another point or two in some of my emails.

In addition, after the meeting I introduced my self to the president of the local Firearms group and he knew exactly who I was - the Mayor (pro 2nd Amendment) told him about my emails and the effort and solid facts I presented, and that they were definately effective in defeating this resolution.

So all in all it was a GOOD NIGHT.
