  1. The paid providers of the forum software issue on-going point releases to the current main version in a responsible and timely manner. IllinoisCarry.com installs these point releases at least several times a year. This latest one hardens some security stuff. We are unlikely to see any operational difference.
  2. It's that time again, the site will be down for maintenance for an hour or two on Friday night. hm'kay?
  3. Beale Street is a big deal for entertainment in Memphis, a city with probably more crime on a per-capita basis than Chicago. The Merchants association essentially owns the street when they are open for business. It's a no gun zone, it's a no knife zone. Guns and knives get in anyway, in spite of the wanding. TN has no permit required for carry, and you can carry into bars as long as you are not drinking/drunk? but not on Beale Street. So there are problems, both on and off Beale Street. https://bealestreet.com/ https://www.memphisdailynews.com/editorial/ArticleEmail.aspx?id=43407 https://wreg.com/news/local/gun-safe-memphis/memphis-police-blame-tn-gun-laws-after-beale-shooting/ https://bealestreet.com/visit/faq (curfew section) https://www.wknofm.org/news-and-features/2009-06-19/no-guns-on-beale-street https://web.archive.org/web/20230815153748/https://eu.commercialappeal.com/story/news/local/2023/08/15/im-hacked-off-mayor-jim-strickland-responds-to-downtown-shooting/70592086007/
  4. Who ? I used to speak about the dems that are for our gun rights, but for 10 years or so, like the scorpion, it's in their nature platform. Yes, there have been outliers. but it's in their platform. And they are proud of it.
  5. Gotcha. Totally on point. The laser etching would use some of the same technology as serialization.
  6. That's called ammo serialization and is totally different and equally F'd up.
  7. Microstamping is supposed to leave ID markings on the primer and the brass. In order to logically work, this implies outlawing reuse of the brass.
  8. Someone with good mechanical knowledge might not be too concerned about microstamping.
  9. But for getting the door slammed in our face a few times we have had three great wins at the SCOTUS level and one good one in the 7th, all in the last 16 years. Don't give up yet. Work towards restoring a conservative to the presidency that can appoint more correct-thinking judges.
  10. Prepare for the worst, hope for the best. Do something to help nudge the whole situation towards the best.
  11. https://www.thecentersquare.com/illinois/article_9022cd82-d6f4-11ee-b2c7-e38de6f01d0b.html (The Center Square) – A Cook County judge decided former President Donald Trump’s name should be removed from the Illinois primary ballot, but put a hold on the order expecting an appeal. Trump’s campaign said it will “quickly appeal.” In a 38-page ruling, the circuit court judge said the Illinois State Board of Elections’ unanimous decision to keep Trump on the ballot is overturned. A group of objectors challenged Trump’s access to the March 19 Illinois primary ballot alleging the former Republican president instigated an insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and is ineligible to be elected president. Last month, the state elections board denied their objection. The group appealed to the state circuit court in Cook County.
