Bingo, I've been noticing that, a divorce (to move) or a life of living heck (staying here or living with if she did go) I'm stuck. I fought and lowered or didn't raise my taxes 3 times and It's climbing on the high side from the 10K to 20K. I've actually have considered selling something... How ... insane is that

By the next census Illinois will lose another house seat. My property taxes are up 32% in the last 3 years. It’s only going to get worse. I told my wife I’m visiting family and friends in Tennessee, Georgia and Florida, they all left Illinois, and find us a better place to live. We’ll rent for a year and look for a permanent home. I’ve had it.

Can the federal congress pass a law making mags of a certain capacity legal along with semi automatic modern rifles? -
I don't know about you but the house I want in another state is going up in value faster than the house I have in this state.

This case was originally filed in May 2017. Favorable rulings at the District Court and 3 judge panel of the 9th circuit. It was then taken En Banc and reversed 7-4 by the same panel that just heard the case. It was appealed to SCOTUS, and GVR'd following Bruen. The En Banc panel then referred it back down to the District Court which again ruled the law unconstitutional. The En Banc panel then stepped in and took the case from the 3 judge panel and here we are, ready to appeal back to SCOTUS, which will happen as quickly as possible to be combined with Snope and Ocean State Tactical in the best of all possible worlds.

Conceal carry Insurance
Bubbacs replied to L.C.'s topic in Illinois Concealed Carry Licensing Process
CC Insurance imo is just like car insurance. It's the single biggest waste of funds ever. 70 years old now and have 2 tickets in my life time and 1 fender bender which wasn't my fault (so said the people who count. So over a 30 to 50 years the over 1 to 2k per year what exactly have I gotten other than the possibility that I MIGHT be covered? No refunds, no year yo year discounts. I do have a CL but I don't play the what if game on whether I'll ever use it. Would be interesting to see (not just one link) how many claims these companies are paying out for vs how many customers they have. And yes I know the whole fire extinguisher in the kitchen theory, better to have than not. But a fire extinguisher is a 1 time expense and small at that. -
This video by a generally well-regarded trainer and expert witness might provide some perspective. The comments below the video covers some as well. If nothing else, food for thought…

And here in the land of Gold and Honey they homes prices and property taxes are in the "You can't afford it territory."

Florida is a bit interesting market, skyrocketed but you also can't afford a house that's not built under new standards and priced lower because the insurance isn't affordable. I know someone trying to sell his current home, with great difficulty, to move into a new built one because of this. She's in clearwater she's gotten her feet wet a few times already but has been luckily so far. (she's my baby girl)

Did you see the latest Florida home prices? They look to be headed for don't need a mortgage (and hurricane insurance) territory.

Sometimes i wished :) But she's smart and moved to Florida. She lost her FOID when they found cannabis in her boyfriends pocket when he was stopped for IDK what. They however didn't return it now the law changed and all those charges are now gone, I think 😱 I still have all the guns I gave her here someday I'll just mail them to her, they are hers.

Your kidnapped daughter would be exigent circumstances. Doubt they'd wait for a warrant. You think they'd try to flush her down the toilet?
