Biden, DOJ: Every gun sale will requires a FFL. Every one.
Quiet Observer replied to mikew's topic in National Politics
It looks like sales and gifts to close family members, if not otherwise forbidden, would be allowed. I did a search for "family" in the link. I got 32 hits, but none noted level of relationship, e.g. father, aunt, or child. A few mentioned family tragedies. -
Don't Shoot the Puppy, CCL Edition
Quiet Observer replied to Euler's topic in Illinois Right to Keep and Carry
If one sees several "armed" masked individuals rush into a business, should they wait until the first "shots" are fired before taking action? The first shot from a squirt gun is funny, or maybe a nuisance. The first shot from a firearm can be a tragedy. There were pictures of the squirt guns on TV. They were very realistic. A CCL holder responding to a perceived threat could face legal and civil problems even if cleared, as well as feelings of guilt. The "see something, say something" is very common advice. -
deceased person's foid
Quiet Observer replied to bubba52's topic in Illinois FOID Application, Renewal & Appeal Process
I see nothing wrong with the above suggestion. This is just another option. You could mail it back to the ISP. This is from the ISP website. "How do I cancel my FOID Card? Simply mail it back to the Firearms Services Bureau at 801 S. 7th Street, Suite 400M, Springfield, Illinois 62703. Include a note that you would like us to cancel the card and why. Be sure to include a telephone number where we can contact you." -
The law designates establishments that serve alcohol. Standalone liquor stores do not serve alcohol, so do not need to be posted. Still, many do post at their option and you are prohibited from entering if carrying. The name of the business does not matter. A restaurant may be named as a tavern, pub, inn, but not sell enough alcohol by the drink to require posting. As others have noted, it is the business' responsibility to post. See link at the bottom for the whole law. "(9) Any building, real property, and parking area under the control of an establishment that serves alcohol on its premises, if more than 50% of the establishment's gross receipts within the prior 3 months is from the sale of alcohol. The owner of an establishment who knowingly fails to prohibit concealed firearms on its premises as provided in this paragraph or who knowingly makes a false statement or record to avoid the prohibition on concealed firearms under this paragraph is subject to the penalty under subsection (c-5) of Section 10-1 of the Liquor Control Act of 1934." "(d) Signs stating that the carrying of firearms is prohibited shall be clearly and conspicuously posted at the entrance of a building, premises, or real property specified in this Section as a prohibited area, unless the building or premises is a private residence. Signs shall be of a uniform design as established by the Department and shall be 4 inches by 6 inches in size. The Department shall adopt rules for standardized signs to be used under this subsection." IL Firearm Applicant Portal (ispfsb.com)

Chicago v Glock

Not any more for Gary. Holcomb signs bill killing Gary's gunmaker lawsuit, but two others hang in the balance • Indiana Capital Chronicle -
Product Dimensions19.68"D x 20.47"W x 35.23"H. It is too big to hide under a seat. It would have to go in the trunk, or under the spare tire cover in an SUV. It has no cable to decrease the chance of the box being stolen. I know that with the right tool the cable on other boxes can be cut.

I do not know where you live. I moved back to Indiana about 2 years ago. My town is always washing blood off the streets. It is done in the early morning, so perhaps you thought that your streets were wet because of rain. I sometimes get up extra early so that I can collect a bucket of blood to fertilize my roses. They looked great last year.😉

Ohio Supreme Court Says 'Warning Shots' Count as Self-Defense
Quiet Observer replied to Flynn's topic in National Politics
I agree with the court's logic. Of course, it just applies to Ohio. The article says that he fired a warning shot at the aggressor. So, if he had claimed that he was trying hit the person, the state of Ohio might not have charged him? What is the point of a warning shot to frighten, if a gun is already pointed at you? The next shot will probably from the other person with intent to kill or injure. What is the difference between a warning shot at and poor marksmanship? -

Why not just sign in on the ISP with your Mac, start your application and see what happens? -
Combo card question

No expiration dates posted on the card. The CCL expiration date in posted in the ISP site. I realize that you know this, but some will think otherwise. -
CCL/employee shoots jewel thief
Quiet Observer replied to Euler's topic in Illinois Right to Keep and Carry
Could it be pleaded down to vandalism? Was it an emotional act of frustration? Did he stop hitting the case because his anger was abated or that he realized he could not break the glass to get to its contents? -
CCL/employee shoots jewel thief

Am I missing something? Posters are referring to a video, but I do not see any links. -
Fingerprints can fade with age. I did fingerprints when I got my license 10 - 11 years ago. The technician had to make several tries. She said that it was fairly common for older people. I have had several prints, both scanned and inked, volunteering, Florida CC, my new state CC. I had problems with each one. Results with my I-pad vary. If I had to get to my gun quickly, I would not want to depend on the reliability of a fingerprint scanner.

I would think that the stock of anything that Chicago rejects would skyrocket. One of the big problems is that it is racist. "First, as the MacArthur Justice Center details, ShotSpotter is deployed overwhelmingly in communities of color, which already disproportionately bear the brunt of a heavy police presence. The police say they pick neighborhoods for deployment based on where the most shootings are, but there are several problems with that: . . ." Four Problems with the ShotSpotter Gunshot Detection System | ACLU Apparently, it would be better to place the ShotSpotters in downstate corn and soybean fields. Why would you want police where the crime is?

Were there problems with the website server the past couple days?
Quiet Observer replied to RandyP's topic in Site Support
I have not had any problems; except the minor usual this page is not working clinch which clears by refreshing the page. I use Edge, also. -
Peoria PD may have decided that was not worth the effort to pursue the matter further. They have that discretion. They can always have another look. His name and address are on file. They might be spending more time on the other robbers. Juries are not predictable, even in NYC. 1984 New York City Subway shooting - Wikipedia FWIW: Peoria is not a 2A sanctuary county.

Was that before CCL passed? It would be odd to be able to CC with a loaded gun while shopping but be required to have a trigger lock on to go into the range.
