SportingPeacock was one of the founding members of the Lincoln Park Gun Club in Chicago.[4] In 1931, he appeared in a live debate on WGN radio with the Chicago Tribune's outdoor editor, Bob Becker, covering perceived decreases in local waterfoul populations.[5] In 1940, he began a movement to form the Civilian's Defense Reserve, a patriotic organization of armed civilians who would cooperate with the U.S. Army during times of need.[6] He believed that the estimated 7 million trapshooters, hunters, and gun club members could help provide a third line of national defense. Peacock was also a previous Illinois Racing Commissioner and a member of the South Shore Country Club.[3] References1. ^{{cite news|url=http://archives.chicagotribune.com/1965/01/01/page/39/article/cupid-fires-early-in-new-year|title=Cupid Fires Early in New Year|last=Page|first=Eleanor|date=January 1, 1965|work=Chicago Tribune|accessdate=11 February 2016}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Peacock, Walter C.}}2. ^{{cite news|url=http://archives.chicagotribune.com/1927/05/30/page/19/article/peacock-wins-western-trap-shooting-title|title=Peacock Wins Western Trap Shooting Title|date=May 30, 1927|work=Chicago Tribune|accessdate=11 February 2016}} 3. ^1 {{cite news|title=W.
