Wow! Didn't expect that.

Twitter statements are nice, but I won't believe anything until I see ACTION.

No knock raids shouldn't be used in any circumstance, ever. There have been way too many mistakes, wrong houses raided and innocent people shot or killed because of no knock raids. You give the government a tool like this and it will be abused, just like any other power the government has. Didn't the ATF just raid some innocent guy's home and terrorize his family over a false "tip"? Find another way to catch the bad guy.

Oh it will change. For the worse.

I was originally gonna say $100K, but I'm thinking realistically about what he could get. Hopefully, the lawyer can steer him toward an amount they have a possibility of getting. The more the better.

Yep, get a lawyer, beat the bogus charge, then sue them. Unlawful arrest and violation of rights at a minimum. Also,they need to pay damages. $50K at LEAST, plus court costs and legal fees. And a guarantee that this arrest will be expunged. DON'T SETTLE. You did nothing wrong and were falsely arrested.

Drove by Lou Malnati's in Libertyville the other day noticed that their no-guns sign appeared to be gone. I stopped, parked and walked up to the entrance to have a closer look and it's definitely gone, at least as of 7/20/24. I went in and bought two frozen pizza's. I haven't been in there since they posted. I tried to find a way to update the POSTED! Web site with the change, but the instructions say to hit the "Feedback" button to request a business be removed, but I saw no feedback button anywhere. I'm not using the app, so I'm not sure if it's on there. Is there another way to get the message to the operator of that site?

Some of us just want to be left alone. We're sick of the gov sticking their nose where it doesn't belong. Why can't I just go to the range and have a nice day without wondering if what I'm bringing is "allowed" in this state?

+1 on that. I ordered a bunch of .223 from them and when firing it out of an AR, it was keyholing badly. The bullets were tumbling immediately when exiting the barrel, probably due to low pressure. I was surprised the gun didn't jam or have any other malfunctions. Never had that issue with any other ammo, including some older Freedom stuff, which probably happened to be made right.

That's insane. Hopefully the cop will get what he deserves and Soukaneh will take him to the cleaners. We as gun owners don't need cops like this on the streets.

Yes, out of state people have more firearms rights in IL than actual IL residents do... Go figure.

We can only hope, but my hopes are not high.

Wouldn't this be considered an ex post facto law? You're perfectly legal one day, then they create this law which instantly makes you a criminal. Then they come to take away your civil rights and confiscate your legally owned property without due process. Are we living in China now?

Every FOID I've ever received has only been good for 5 years. How are you guys getting 10 year FOID's?

She must have been a Republican.
