  1. I've seen blurbs here and there mocking the NRA Instructor program as insufficient in hours and quality, most recently on FarceBook where the "instructor" is manipulating a live handgun near heads behind the line on a range. I've also got 80 hours of formal instruction in training from State certified agencies for the fire service. They'll probably be given less credit than the state gives holders of a 40 hour MFT cert who don't/won't get a "Chief, may I pretty please" letter to accompany their FCCL application.
  2. Hurtado v. California, 110 U.S. 516 “The state cannot diminish Rights of the people.” Miranda v. Arizona, 384 US 436, 491 “Where rights secured by the Constitution are involved, there can be no rulemaking or legislation which would abrogate them.” Shuttlesworth v. Birmingham, Alabama, 373 U.S. 262 “If the state does convert your right into a privilege and issue a license and charge a fee for it, you can ignore the license and fee and engage in the right with impunity.” And, of course, Murdock v Pennsylvania 319 U.S. 105 (1943) Substitute "Second" for "First" and "fee" for "tax" in the above quote? You have our situation. The background check argument used to pass the FOIDA (even though the goal was Daley's disarming of non-whites) is void with the implementation of the NICS.
  3. Wonder if the Sergeant p***** off the Chief and was "voluntold" to attend.
  4. I had to face a "charge" in a local version of those once. The attorney DBA "judge" was completely astounded when I pled nolo contendere.
  5. How much is the cost of the ID required to exercise your right to vote? What options are available on election day to those that have not registered? Hmmm. Not at all like our ability to exercise our enumerated 2A Rights, is it? Hurtado v. California, 110 U.S. 516 “The state cannot diminish Rights of the people.” Miranda v. Arizona, 384 US 436, 491 “Where rights secured by the Constitution are involved, there can be no rulemaking or legislation which would abrogate them.” Murdock v. Pennsylvania, 319 US 105 The state may not convert a secured liberty into a privilege, and issue a license and fee for it. Shuttlesworth v. Birmingham, Alabama, 373 U.S. 262 “If the state does convert your right into a privilege and issue a license and charge a fee for it, you can ignore the license and fee and engage in the right with impunity.”
  6. How many were returned at the hearing that's required after the initial revocation order? <crickets>
  7. Well, that's a great question. According to https://www.ilga.gov/legislation/publicacts/102/PDF/102-1116.pdf So does that mean they have to register, but can still purchase, or is the registration considered "regarding the purchase or possession"? If it's like every other ban that's been proposed over the past 20 years, LE is exempt. Can't bribe 'em outright, so you gotta throw 'em a bone so they'll get face any threat rather than (D)a politicians. As a retired but uncredentialled law enforcement officer I think it's ...manure...
  8. Given how they supposedly needed to change the law to allow for an FOID to be suspended or cancelled rather than revoked, I find it curious. There's nothing in the Disarming Illinoisans Through Profiling of Black Rifles Act or the Admin Rules - even the "emergency ones" - that requires or allows the ISP to do this.
  9. I recall there being a case somewhere in an open carry state (out west maybe?) where a police officer detained someone who was not personally known to him for possessing a firearm until he could verify they were not a felon. The court held that simply possessing a firearm, unless the subject was personally known by the officer to be a prohibited person, was not sufficient grounds to warrant arrest or detention.
  10. For the "Misleading sheep into thinking Illinois is Protected" act? https://www.ilga.gov/legislation/publicacts/102/PDF/102-1116.pdf
  11. When will they admit that these "migrants" don't want to migrate, they want to reside here full time?
  12. So Haynes v. United States, 390 U.S. 85 (1968) held that felons can't be forced to register, but we can? https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/390/85/
