  1. IGOLD is April 18, three weeks from tomorrow.
  2. The ISP is the law enforcement arm of the Illinois Executive Branch and does whatever the "big executive" wants, or seems to want. The head of the ISP, no matter how he feels about guns and PICA personally, is appointed by the governor and serves at his whim.
  3. Personal experience: I shot a friend's 10mm Model 20 and really enjoyed it. I am not a lawyer: I wouldn't carry a converted gun. YMMV.
  4. And maybe if we drill down there might be other exceptions... I have not gone looking, yet.

  8. hmm, might have to drill down into the exceptions.
  9. The paid providers of the forum software issue on-going point releases to the current main version in a responsible and timely manner. IllinoisCarry.com installs these point releases at least several times a year. This latest one hardens some security stuff. We are unlikely to see any operational difference.
  10. It's that time again, the site will be down for maintenance for an hour or two on Friday night. hm'kay?
  11. Beale Street is a big deal for entertainment in Memphis, a city with probably more crime on a per-capita basis than Chicago. The Merchants association essentially owns the street when they are open for business. It's a no gun zone, it's a no knife zone. Guns and knives get in anyway, in spite of the wanding. TN has no permit required for carry, and you can carry into bars as long as you are not drinking/drunk? but not on Beale Street. So there are problems, both on and off Beale Street. https://bealestreet.com/ https://www.memphisdailynews.com/editorial/ArticleEmail.aspx?id=43407 https://wreg.com/news/local/gun-safe-memphis/memphis-police-blame-tn-gun-laws-after-beale-shooting/ https://bealestreet.com/visit/faq (curfew section) https://www.wknofm.org/news-and-features/2009-06-19/no-guns-on-beale-street https://web.archive.org/web/20230815153748/https://eu.commercialappeal.com/story/news/local/2023/08/15/im-hacked-off-mayor-jim-strickland-responds-to-downtown-shooting/70592086007/
  12. Who ? I used to speak about the dems that are for our gun rights, but for 10 years or so, like the scorpion, it's in their nature platform. Yes, there have been outliers. but it's in their platform. And they are proud of it.
  13. Gotcha. Totally on point. The laser etching would use some of the same technology as serialization.
  14. That's called ammo serialization and is totally different and equally F'd up.
  15. Microstamping is supposed to leave ID markings on the primer and the brass. In order to logically work, this implies outlawing reuse of the brass.
  16. Someone with good mechanical knowledge might not be too concerned about microstamping.
  17. But for getting the door slammed in our face a few times we have had three great wins at the SCOTUS level and one good one in the 7th, all in the last 16 years. Don't give up yet. Work towards restoring a conservative to the presidency that can appoint more correct-thinking judges.
