But they became the aggressors and that's all I got to say about it.  Good day.

Sorry Max, you're wrong and Mikey is right. 

They were shot at so they were defending themselves.

They didn't go there to shoot someone, they went there to get their car back.

Sounds like Max never leaves home with his firearm.

He was probably released before they finished reading him the charges....

[What to do with handguns that have magazines that hold more than 15 rounds now?]

I wouldn't change a damn thing and just wait for the law to be overturned, because it will be eventually.

[Is there a legal workaround to Illinois gun registry?]

I think ya'll are reading too much into this. If you make the bolt swap - and dispose of the bolt that would make it a semi-automatic - you no longer have a semi automatic "assault weapon". A pistol grip, handguard, threaded barrel, flash hider, collapsible buttstock, etc etc would not make the weapon a semi automatic firearm - only the bolt, which you replaced would.

 

The bolt is not an "attachment", it's an integral part of the firearm, cannot be operated without one, and in this case it is a single shot, and no longer semi automatic.

 

Having said that I'm not a lawyer, I have no dog in this fight, and no longer live in Illinois, but if I did, I'd take this information to your own attorney that would be defending you in court and ask them for their instruction. Any opinion on this board in just that - an opinion. Either way best of luck getting this law overturned / thrownout.

"no injuries reported" - aka "someone needs to spend more time at the range"

 

"CPD did not release descriptions of the suspects" - aka "you know darn well who the suspects are we just won't identify them"

The sooner someone files a lawsuit, and another stupid Illinois law is overturned, the sooner your lives can return to normal.

[FOID/FCCL to be cancelled with move out of state]

I'm still wondering if you guys who didn't cancel the cards have a nasty background check surprise waiting for you upon expiration of your old cards. Maybe some of you moved to real free states and it really doesn't matter. My new sheriff is the type that would use Illinois' report as reason to deny/revoke a local CCL.

TRJ - you're over thinking this -

You can't revoke an existing CCL in a state you're a resident in because my FOID card expires in IL. of which I am no longer a resident.

 

Further, there is no requirement for a former resident of the state of IL to cancel, or surrender a FOID. As a current non-resident, making the proper identification of my new residence, the card is no longer valid as soon as you are no longer a resident.

 

Illinois ability to control your life with firearms expires when you wave bye-bye and cross state lines with all your worldly belongings never to return.

IL can tax and harass whomever they like, it will not be those of us that have left the state.

[FOID/FCCL to be cancelled with move out of state]

TRJ -

I moved to Tennessee and did nothing with my IL cards. Threw them in a box I think. Have no plans of ever moving back, but if you did and your card is still active, it would save you the process of getting another. (If they let you apply in the future because of any new laws they come up with.)

 

I see no reason to tell IL anything, leave and don't look back.
