Baringteeth Posted January 1, 2021 at 05:21 AM Share Posted January 1, 2021 at 05:21 AM Hello, I'm a resident of lockport (will county) and I'm looking to do my due diligence before I ante up and purchase a rifle. I was looking at AR's but they get more expensive by the moment thanks to the scare that's swamping this community. So I've decided to look into 'ole reliable' options.. Like an Norinco SKS or a Ruger mini 14 for instance. I was wondering if I could even own.. well any of these kinds of firearms in will county. Once I have that established I'd love some insight on what I should procure. (An AR being the ideal but that may be put on hold at the moment)Thanks.*Backround: FOID 4+ yearsAnything but an avid gun owner but looking to change that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauserme Posted January 1, 2021 at 05:31 AM Share Posted January 1, 2021 at 05:31 AM You can search the Lockport Code for relevant ordinances. Chapter 131: Weapons of Title XIII seems to mirror state law, meaning the kinds of firearms you're looking at aren't prohibited, at not least in that section. With Rink's right there on Archer Ave. selling ARs pretty regularly I'd be surprised if they're prohibited in Lockport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rilo Posted January 1, 2021 at 05:33 AM Share Posted January 1, 2021 at 05:33 AM I don’t believe will has any assault weapon ban unless it’s a local ordinance. You can get a Springfield saint for <1k or a RRA for less than 750 or an Anderson for around 550 all will do the job well enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euler Posted January 1, 2021 at 06:57 AM Share Posted January 1, 2021 at 06:57 AM I take a look at what has been shipped from manufacturers to Davidson's every now and then, since Davidson's has that functionality on its website. The only thing that's been shipping consistently since the apocalypse began is bolt-action rifles. Sometimes there's something else, but, whatever it is, it doesn't stay in stock more than a few days. So unless new gun owners want bolt-action rifles, the only options are really whatever shops have in stock on the day they go shopping or whatever someone is selling used, especially if it's someone they know. Thinking you'll pick up a particular make and model is a futile effort at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallbore Posted January 1, 2021 at 05:40 PM Share Posted January 1, 2021 at 05:40 PM I suspect movies have made semi-autos so popular. I prefer bolt action for many reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antwan Posted January 23, 2021 at 07:56 PM Share Posted January 23, 2021 at 07:56 PM I suspect movies have made semi-autos so popular. I prefer bolt action for many reasons. Nearly every country in world has chosen magazine fed small arms for an average of something like 50 years. They're a unanimously more efficacious weapon for nearly all conflict. I'd wager that it's more than just motion films being the primary influence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can certainly own all 3 with proper licensing. I currently have a short barreled AK-74 at my residence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In IL, SBRs require a C&R FFL type 03 or a membership in military reenactment club. Threads here in IC and Arfcom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
