  1. 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.
  2. I signed up for the renewal class given by Alpha Concepts on 4/2.CCL expires on 6/7.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. According to these guidelines,a TX-22 with 16rd mags and threaded barrel is a scary "assault" weapon. A freaking .22 rimfire.
  8. 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.
  9. 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
  10. Had my Blink cameras about two years,still on original batteries. Good enough for my needs.
  11. Just got my all-in-one card last Saturday. Got the letter telling me to expect it about 3 days later.
