  1. Maybe he can be one of those jailhouse lawyers we hear so much about.
  2. Ex Post Facto means nothing to these people. It's amazing that a congress at both levels, filled with lawyers, ignore the constitution as freely as they do. Things made illegal by the stroke of a pen, that were legal for decades. Meanwhile, criminals can't be forced to register, since it would make them bear witness against themselves. But regular, completely legal gun owners, line up and sign up, citizen.
  3. All I'll say is this. Senator Feinstein was on record as saying if she had the votes, it would be "Mr. and Mrs. America, turn them All in..." I'll always remember her for that one line. I won't speak ill of the dead, but she was not our friend by any means.
  4. So, this bullet traveled over a mile, but took 3 minutes to arrive. I guess I'm a bit skeptical. Maybe it stopped at a concession stand first. Looks like a 9mm or a .40 S&W, probably the latter if I had to guess. Pretty good trip from a handgun. It's good that neither woman had a serious injury. I don't care to be shot at all, and I would imagine they would agree.
  5. I just received my new card with the extended date for the FOID. They sent a letter first a few months ago stating the extended date for the FOID. Then another letter telling me to expect the new card in the 'next few days'. The new card showed up late last week, Friday I believe. Since my original card showed expired since earlier this year, I didn't know what to expect if I tried to purchase a gun. It so happened that I didn't try in that timeframe. The local dealer I usually buy from was aware of the extensions.
  6. So to update this, I just received a letter from ISP telling me I have the later date, rather than May of this year for expiration. The same letter talks about applying for renewal earlier to make sure it goes through. When I received my renewal of my CCL, they sent me a new FOID, with the same number as the CCL, and it came right after the CCL came in the mail. So, it looks like the card was extended to match the CCL expiration date per the ISP web site and this letter I just received from ISP. I'll check with my LGS to see how he has handled others with the same issue. I'm sure I can't be the only one.
  7. My FOID shows me expiring May 2022. When I logged into the ISP site, the expiration date is shown as the same as my CCL, in 2024. Should be interesting if I try to buy a gun later this year, or ammo online. I know better than to even try to contact the ISP via phone, so I guess I live with it until something comes up requiring a seller to check the ISP site. What a crazy way to do things.
  8. It figures, just in time for me to have to renew my FOID card. IL, where freedom goes to die.
  9. Just renewed, it got away from me. I noticed I didn't have the Supporting Members Team under my screen name.
  10. If it's 60 days, that would be the 15th if my math is correct.
  11. I have a couple I'd like to buy, but I'm waiting for the law to go into effect. It would be just my luck that I buy a knife and he pulls a veto out of thin air. Then I would be out the money, and have an illegal item all of a sudden. I can wait. Also, imagine the confusion in other states when we have to send them a FOID copy to buy a knife.
  12. Welcome to August 1st, and still no signature. Well, in two weeks or so it won't matter.
  13. I wish he'd sign the bill already. I've already found a knife or two I'd like to buy. I guess we'll have to wait until August 16th when it becomes law automatically.
  14. I posted in the fastest turnaround thread, but it should go here too. Applied May 4th, went Active June 5th, in my mailbox today, June 7th. So, 31 days until Active, 33 days total. I never thought I would see the day, but here it is. I did submit the prints in case anybody is keeping track. I also applied for Utah, but from what I see here and there, they're swamped with applications so it may take a while yet. Thanks to all that made it possible.
  15. Congratulations to all who have received their license. I was beginning to think I'd never see this day.
