  1. Did it several years ago. My reps were nowhere to be found. I'll keep doing witness slips,emails,etc but no more trips to Springfield for me. Besides,the 18th is my Bday and you shoot for free at GAT [2 minutes from me] on your birthday,which I'll do that day.
  2. I'm not giving up,I'll still do the witness slips. It just feels like trying to dig a hole in sand. I wish we could actually see/hear the opposition actually saying the slips made a difference. I would venture a guess that behind the scenes they're laughing at us[as they file another crappy anti-gun bill]. Thanks to mauserme for making it easy to file the slips.
  3. I signed up for the renewal class given by Alpha Concepts on 4/2.CCL expires on 6/7.
  4. Funny,I've never encountered that attitude downstate where my son lives. Maybe he's not "downstate" enough[Crawford County]. We talk about all kinds of firearms,ARs included.
  5. I did the bolt release mod on mine,never got around to to getting an extended mag release but want to at some point. Biggest improvement [that I notice] was the Volquartsen drop-in hammer. Really improved the trigger pull.
  6. It's going to be a tough choice to make,for sure. I really don't see them putting scores of people in prison for this,especially senior citizens with no prior criminal record. The optics would be for sure negative.Hope I'm wrong. FYI-I'm just a young punk[70] and at/approaching the IDGAF stage of my life.
  7. When one orders from a big online airgun retailer[like Pyramyd Air],they go by the listed specs. My last purchase was a .25 break barrel,specs listed at 600fps. Also have a couple .22s,both under 700 fps. Try putting a .22 over 700 fps in your cart,order will be cancelled.[Don't ask how I know] Places like the Cabelas by me put all the pellet rifles behind the counter,claiming[erroneously] that they need a FOID for all of them.
  8. According to these guidelines,a TX-22 with 16rd mags and threaded barrel is a scary "assault" weapon. A freaking .22 rimfire.
  9. In the small SE Illinois town where my son is a LEO,I have a feeling this new law is at the bottom of the list for enforcement. Like mentioned previously,in a big city it might be a whole different priority.
  10. Born and raised in Elgin[still there],It's nowhere near "mini Chicago." Does it have problems? Sure,just like a lot of cities with 100,000 + populations. JMO
  11. Had my Blink cameras about two years,still on original batteries. Good enough for my needs.
