Fraction of 1% of FOID card holders register banned guns in first week
Lou replied to Molly B.'s topic in Illinois Politics
As far as J B Pritzker is concerned the law is a success. Its main purpose is so that Jelly Belly can say he "stood up to the NRA and won" to further his presidential resume. Who cares if it makes law-abiding citizens "criminals"? -

Here is what the Second City Cop blog has to say about it. https://secondcitycop.blogspot.com/ Tuesday, January 02, 2024 Springfield We Have a Problem As of 01 January 2024, ""assault weapons"" are banned in Illinois and you can only keep them if registered with the State Police. Same thing for certain accessories and certain caliber ammunition. The rumor that the ISP website went down due to a massive attempt by Chicago gangbangers to register all of their ""assault weapons"" appears to have been false. According to the Illinois State Police website and interested parties, compliance topped out at something less than five percent. Might be as low as half-of-one-percent, but no one really knows. The ISP has said you can still register the weapons despite the now past deadline, but what moron is going to hand the ISP proof of your disobedience of State Law? You would automatically be banned from possessing all firearms. So the lefties and democrat politicians (but we repeat ourselves) are in a bind. They passed a "law" in the dead of night, gutting an insurance bill and substituting anti-gun language in it, and pushed it through in under 72 hours without public hearing or comment, in violation of procedural safeguards. Now over 95% or more of Illinois gun owners have refused to comply and around 96 (or so) county sheriffs (out of 102 statewide) have stated they will not be enforcing anything in regard to this registry. Gun grabbers now face a couple choices: A - ignore the fact that 95% of gun owners have given them a giant middle finger, or B - selective enforcement in places like Cook County, where Dart never met a gun law he wouldn't personally perform fellatio on, or C - order all sheriffs to start door-to-door confiscation AND prosecute sheriffs who refuse. Failure to enforce a State Law means the government loses legitimacy, and who runs Illinois at this very moment? This is also a national election year with the DNC holding its convention here in Chicago. Not the look that the dems are looking for when Fata$$ is in the running to be drafted for the top slot when Mr 10%-for-the-Big-Guy steps aside. And prosecuting County Sheriffs? These are elected officials. How very Hitler-esque. We're certainly in for an interesting couple of months ahead. And not that we encourage this, but if even one percent among the estimated half-a-million owners of banned rifles violently resisted....dear lord.

The ISP easy guide is only 340 pages long. What’s not to understand? As of right now these are the stats: I’m not sure how current it is. Number of Individuals Completing a Disclosure: 15,164 Total Disclosures: 51,978 Firearms Disclosures: 33,065 Accessory Disclosures: 18,632 Ammunition Disclosures: 281

Below is an excellent example of the hypocracy of the Left FYI Rep Sean Casten is one of the far left rabid anti-gun zealots in the US House who never met a gun law he didn’t love. The failure of the 40+ year policy experiment he refers to the War On Drugs but it applies equally to the 50+ year old war against the Second Amendment.

I did too along with myself and my wife. Not easy-peasy but worth the trouble. -
Having her as VP is keeping some from voting for Biden. Her approval rating is even lower than hers.

Here’s a frightening thought. He nominates Kamala to go back to the senate where she came from. He becomes Biden’s running mate. Biden wins and “retires” after 6 months in office leaving Newsome the POTUS. THATS ENOUGH TO KEEP YOU UP AT NIGHT.

I krep my HD Mossberg 500 loaded with this: REMINGTON LE 12 GAUGE 2-3/4" 8-PELLET REDUCED-RECOIL 00 BUCKSHOT AMMO - 25 RDS PER BOX This 12 gauge ammunition from Remington is a low recoil load well suited to self-defense applications. Each shell in this box of 25 fires 9 pellets of 00 buckshot at a muzzle velocity of 1,200 feet per second. This produces excellent stopping power at typical self-defense ranges. The reduced powder charge and recoil reduces the risk of over-penetration and makes your shotgun more controllable--an important factor if you need to fire more than once to stop an assailant. 00 buckshot is a powerful, versatile shot type that has been proven in many self-defense and hunting situations.

Renewed my CCL today, a bit of a hassle
Lou replied to vito's topic in Illinois Right to Keep and Carry
They have a great selection of tanks in the Tank Park and anyone is welcome to climb on them. They even put crushed rubber around them just 8n case. They also redid the museum 3 years ago and it it a wonderful walk through experience. Cantigny is free as is the museu,pm but there is a $5 parking fee. If you are a veteran you can apply for a card which gives you free parking. It is a great deal. They have bunches of events, concerts and car shows during the year. The one downside is it’s a posted criminal protection zone 🤬 -
The safe I have has a digital lock but it also came with a key to open it up in case of failure. It was a feature I was looking for. If desired I can remove the digital mechanism with batteries and hide it someplace else or just destroy it. With the lock removed the keyhole is exposed. That said, I have a suspicion the if pressed hard enough and given the safe serial number the manufacturer could provide LE a duplicate key but then the serial number is inside the safe. Nothing is foolproof but ya gotta make things as foolproof as possible.
