Reserved for updates.

HB1881 Criminal Law - Tech HA1 and HB4500 Unlawful Possession Weapons HA1 have been posted to a 4 PM House Judiciary - Criminal hearing this afternoon. We're neutral on both.

Sadly our legal system doesn't work like that, just look at how all the courts are ruling on all these bans across the US even NY's current legislation... Bruen didn't specifically say that NY's registration was unconstitutional, so there is that as well... AGAIN I agree that it's unconstitutional, but sadly our legal system doesn't follow the " it should go without saying" reasoning most of the time and right now NY's law is NY's law and valid until ruled unconstitutional... Even if we disagree with that logic, that is the logic used by our legal system...

So no SWAT team to search and recover the unlicensed deadly item? Or is that just Illinois?

It turns out I'll be away from the forum, at least during the early part of session today. I don't expect anything threatening our rights.

It already has been found unconstitutional. If Bruen says you have the RIGHT to carry a handgun outside the home for self defense then it should go without saying that you have the RIGHT to own/carry one in your own home.

The idea behind three readings is to promote open government in which the people can be involved. Even though they do follow a very technical adherence to the three reading requirement, they've perfected avoiding any openness. It's much worse now than it was under the Madigan/Curran regimes.

Does the three readings matter anymore? All they have to do is lie and say they did.

Before the CCL Act, this was how people carried legally. It's sometimes called "FOID Carry" and was advertised with the slogan "6 seconds to safety," since that's about how long it would take a well-trained person to draw and load a weapon.

I forgot floating clowns in the list.

That would clearly be too expensive to implement. They will instead ban purchase, sale, transfer, carry, possession, manufacture, spindling, and mutilation within 3 miles of any trashcan, dustbin, garbage disposal, dumpster, dump, waste management facility or transport, gutter, sewer, storm drain, or manhole. We're not taking anyone's guns away.

The Track and Recover All Surveilled Human (TRASH) Waste Act will close that loophole by requiring HD cameras be installed on all dumpsters and waste removal vehicles.

Can't charge her yet if ever. Not until the Trump trial is over. Very suprised they even made this public info. Cause it might have damaged her rep if she was a convicted felon before the trial no? But just like HUnter this will all be a wash and last years news soon. Remember when you decide to nor register with Illinois that you can "Be Like Hunter" and just throw them in the garbage dumpsters!

Try this: https://berettaforum.net They have a classified ads section. A regular 96 FS slide should work. When I was shooting factory ammo, Winchester 180 grain stuff in the .40, the brass would get ejected with some gusto. I never did move up to a heavier recoil spring though. Once I had enough once fired brass, I started reloading for the .40 . (At just above minor power factor) Then some 92FS Brig Inox’s became available. I think I had one 96FS frame set up with a D spring. The other 96 frame got a 1911 main spring. So I just put the 92FS Brig Inox top ends on the 96FS frames.

I agree that the law should be found unconstitutional, but right now it's the law, and just like I feel PICA is entirely unconstitutional as well, I'm currently bound to follow it or face charges, she should be treated just like anyone else violating a law not yet found unconstitutional, especially since they have an under oath self confession of her crime in court...
