The Illinois Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence (ICPGV), a project of Legal Community Against Violence (LCAV), is a research-based public education campaign to promote meaningful gun policy reform in Illinois. Working with a statewide advisory group representing law enforcement, the medical and public health communities, faith-based organizations, local and state policymakers, victims and advocacy groups, ICPGV informs the public and the media on the facts about gun violence and prevention policies.

The goal of ICPGV is to achieve effective polices to reduce gun violence. The campaign’s 2009 policy agenda includes:

• Universal Background Checks  (priority)
• Reporting Lost or Stolen Firearms (priority)
• Safe Storage of Firearms in Homes with Children
• Licensing Handgun Dealers
• Banning Military-Style Weapons and Ammunition
• Restricting Bulk Handgun Sales
