Illinois Sucks

Would you care to expand on this? What exactly about him do you consider to be a breath of fresh air?

Update** Other than taking over three months, it seems that everything went smoothly. I got my new card about a week ago.

If you really want the conversion. Just get the one with the "arm brace" which is perfectly legal (for now) and can function identically to regular stock if you choose to shoulder it.

Honestly, I have no idea how they handle this. I would guess that the conversion kit itself is not subject to NFA regulations until it is attached to your pistol. I would imagine they sell these like any other non regulated gun accessory and it is up to you to do your due diligence before installing it. I suspect that a phone call or email to CKS Tactical would clear up any confusion on how they regard this accessory and if you have to have approval to buy it.

I would like to deter vandalism and possible crime around my home. In addition to what is happening in this world, we also have a neighbor with dementia who has been going into unlocked cars, garages and even houses and taking stuff. If something were to happen, it would be nice to have some clear video of what transpired. I don't want a service that monitors or stores the video. I would like to keep that all in-house. I can do / install anything that has instructions. I think I would like to supplement the cameras with motion sensing lights also.

Any recommendations on a home security camera system? Thanks for any advice.

When I originally applied for my CCL (living in Cook County at the time), there was an objection by LEO which put me in limbo for for well over a year with ZERO info about what was going on. Fast forward 5 years (well, over 6 actually with the objection BS) and... I recently renewed my CCL which has me wondering if there was an objection period when you renew. Am I in for another trip to limbo?

Also a really good point.

You can legally sell an UNFINISHED.... Penalty for knowingly sell, offer to sell, or transfer an unserialized unfinished frame or receiver or unserialized firearm

And how would they check if a number on a gun is legit?

I suspect there was zero chance that the dude the the Ford would have pulled over, parked, rolled down his window and sat there for the idiot chasing him down if he did not have that gun. I would say he got INTO this situation due to having the gun... not out of it.

Might be an unpopular opinion, but when you pull over to the side of the road, park, open your window while holding your illegally possessed loaded gun, I would assume you are looking to shoot someone.... not defend yourself.

Imagine a person follows your car and you are scared... so you pull over. Now imagine after you pull over, they approach your vehicle and you are scared.. so you open your window. This just does not add up.

The footage does not seem to be a dash cam. It looks hand held. I am familiar with the area and there really is no parking there. I don't really see a reason for this person to be pulled over and taking video if they were not invested in the situation. Still curious.
