  1. Ah yes, now I remember. The .50 cal, baby killer ammo. There is just so much crap in this "law", it's hard to remember it all.
  2. What enforcement mechanism does the Supreme Court have really? If politicians and states choose to ignore their rulings, what can be done?
  3. That was both before AND after CC passed. It seemed ridiculous that they needed to put trigger locks on the guns in my range bag, but the one on my hip didn't.
  4. Aren't the sheriff's elected by the people? Doesn't that mean the Gov can't just fire them or make them somehow "not be in their jobs"?
  5. I used to go there many years ago when they first opened their range, since it was the closest range to me. It's a tiny range with only 5 positions if I recall, but you could make an appointment which was nice. One thing I never liked is that they had to check your guns at the entrance and then put trigger locks on them before letting you in. They almost damaged one of my guns trying to put on lock since it wouldn't fit. When they started making you fill out a detailed informational form EVERY time you went there, that's when I stopped going. It was ridiculous and caused a huge backup at the range desk, usually cutting into your scheduled range time due to having to wait.
  6. They're going to confiscate YOUR guns and give them to the gangbangers 😜
  7. We must be missing part of the story. As it sits with the info we have, they had no justification to take the man's propery.
  8. Some of us just want to be left alone. We're sick of the gov sticking their nose where it doesn't belong. Why can't I just go to the range and have a nice day without wondering if what I'm bringing is "allowed" in this state?
  9. Well, I got my updated "combined" card already and it only took about three weeks. I'm assuming it qualifies as a CCL, even though it is a "Firearms Owners Identification" card but it says "CCL:Yes" in the upper right corner. I feel lucky that so far, I've not had any issues with my FOID or CCL. From the original issuance of the card years ago, to the renewal and now an address change, it's gone smoothly. I'm thankful, especially after reading the numerous horror stories here about problems. Although the $80 fee seems really steep for an address change. The tax on the right to carry is pretty steep here in IL. $250 for a 16 hour class $150 for the application $150 for a 3-day renewal class $150 for a renewal application $80 for an address change So add in the extra fees, taxes and gas required to travel to the classes and we're talking probably over $1000 so far. That doesn't include the firearm or defense ammo. I'm thankful for IL Carry where I learned so much over the years about this whole process. It's a critical resource to have.
