ISP has filed the Emergency Rule to implement PICA
JTHunter replied to Upholder's topic in Illinois Politics
There are things I would like to say in this situation as to what is likely to happen to me and how I would react (accordingly). Unfortunately, those opinions could be considered "premeditation". 🤬 -
As I am not into gunsmithing, would you care to put that into plain English so I can understand it?

Considering that they take an oath to support and defend the Constitution, perhaps they should tried for treason and treated accordingly.

Biden to Create Federal Office for Gun Violence Prevention
JTHunter replied to mauserme's topic in National Politics
Not only more "money for cronies" but higher taxation to support it. -
Since when have dems (in general) and AGs (in particular) upheld laws they didn't agree with or like? 🤔

What registerable items?? 🤔 😆 -
Nice idea but that might give them grounds for "illegal/improper storage". They might think I'm using the BP for "weapons of mass destruction".

The safe I have is not a "gun safe" but a 3,000 lb. "laminate" of steel & concrete. It's external dimensions are about 6.5' tall, 30" wide, and about 28" deep. It stands on 4" legs and was bought used from a company that refurbishes old safes. All of the sides of the safe itself are 3-4" thick but the door is ~5" thick to allow for the 1" rods that lock it. It is a "mechanical" dial, set by the refurbisher to the trio of numbers I chose. Even thought the hinges are exposed as the door opens outwards, it is unlikely that cutting them off would get you in to this safe. There are 4 "studs" on the back of the door (hinge side) that go into the door frame when closed. Then there are 2 rods that go up & down when the wheel is turned that lock into the top, bottom, & non-hinge side of the frame. All 4 edges of the door is "pinned" into the frame and, w/o the hinges, it ain't opening. Getting through a half to 3/4" of steel on the outside, then about an inch of concrete behind that just to get to the dial's mechanism might make it more troublesome than it is worth. Inside are old 1040s, old utility bills (phone, water, sewer, etc.), bank statements, auto repair records, insurance papers, etc. They are welcome to "try" (IF they have a warrant) but I've already learned to never acquiesce and "give" them permission.

Pritzker admin already planning on going after registered guns?
JTHunter replied to steveTA84's topic in Illinois Politics
Just so long as everybody is "prepared" because these elitist dictators won't risk their own skin. They have "useful idiots" (mercenaries) to do that for them. And it has been done before. -
Reuters: U.S. Justice Dept seeks to close loopholes on some gun sales

What guns? I don't have any guns. -

Great idea!! -
Renewed my CCL today, a bit of a hassle
JTHunter replied to vito's topic in Illinois Right to Keep and Carry
In the town where I grew up, the city park had shell of a Korean-era vintage jet. The turbine had been removed and the jet was "gutted" so it was just the aluminum skin but we could crawl through the entire body of the jet. -
Links to Post NYSRPA v Bruen Court Rulings
JTHunter replied to Molly B.'s topic in Judicial Second Amendment Case Discussion
There was a very interesting piece on the PBS Weekend News this evening about the number of shooting clubs for teens has exploded over the last few years. Oddly enough, for PBS, it was a fairly well-balanced story where they pointed out how these clubs are helping teens to not only handle firearms safely but to concentrate and focus on a specific task. This seems to carryover into their classwork as well, enabling them to be better students. -

A "standard form letter", about all that can be expected in IL-ANNOY. -

They are only a small percentage of the antis out there. Even more are in the general population having been misled/misinformed BY the "elitists" in the government. -
Vivek appears to really and completely 'get it' about the 2nd
JTHunter replied to cybermgk's topic in National Politics
For those of you who seem to think so much of the "Hindu Hottie", this may change your minds. In some forum, I had posted that Vivek strikes me as a "chameleon" and not to be trusted. Here's some evidence to support that opinion. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/smoke-mirrors-ve-debating-vivek-153316722.html -

Actually, it would probably be more accurate to call him a chameleon. See above as that is an appropriate answer for both posts.
