Sangamon County Rifle Association
 Right Reason on Second Amendment Rights
Springfield, Illinois





Welcome!  The Sangamon County Rifle Association welcomes you to our website.  SCRA is an organization whose principal purpose is to support Second Amendment issues. In January 2004, Guns Save Life (the Champaign County Rifle Association), our sister organization located in Champaign County, Illinois, invited SCRA to publish a few pages of Sangamon County monthly news and commentary in their highly successful GunNews. SCRA proudly accepted their invitation and published its first pages in GunNews in March 2004.

If you live in this area and share our Second Amendment concerns, we invite you to join us at our regular SCRA meetings on the first Monday of each month at the International Buffet, 2520 North Dirksen Parkway, Springfield at 6:30 PM (5:30 PM for dinner and conversation).  The food is great, an endless selection, all you can eat for one low price!  You'll have a good time handling the hardware (firearms), talking about the issues and joining in the fun of some great technical presentations. SCRA does not charge membership dues.

If you have Second Amendment questions and issues you would like to have answered or discussed at a meeting or, know of someone who could do a related technical presentation, please call Jim Butler at 217/528-0963.  We hope to see you there.
