  1. It's been a while since I played with my Quest but I remember being able to stream games to my TV. What I can't remember is if it was an in-game setting or a Quest setting. The thing I do remember is that there was, for some reason that option didn't work for me and I had to do some screen mirroring or AirPlay from my phone (which was getting the game video) to my TV. I am pretty sure that was a "me" problem though, likely due to my TV and having an iPhone or me completely not knowing my behind from a hole in the ground.
  2. I don't have it but I've looked into it quite a bit since it is compatible with the Quest 2 that I have. My big hangup is the controller adapter, between the cost and at the time I looked I couldn't find one that resembled any of the firearms I own that I compete with I decided against it. That said, my gripe is entirely a princess gripe and the software itself and how realistic it is is something else entirely. I know that a LOT of competitive shooters are using it and it's very highly regarded. I may revisit this at some point and look for a 3D printed file for something I'd like.
  3. So now the police cannot assert that carrying a firearm in public is illegal? What constitutes a reasonable suspicion for a stop again? How do I reconcile reasonable suspicion or lack thereof and the police asking "on a consensual basis" if I have a CCL and/or a firearm? More directly, if it's "consensual" and I decline to answer are the police still going to "stop" me, and probably kill me, plant a gun and sprinkle some crack on me?
  4. Pepper balls are in fact the same caliber as paintballs, but I do not believe they contain the colored marking paint as stipulated by the ILCS.
  5. Yeah I mean, I bought my first marker at a Kmart at like 10 years old and places like Sportmart in my early teens before I even knew what FOID card was.
  6. On the subject of paintball guns...I used to be a competitive paintball player years ago, and even bought new gear as recently as 10 years ago, maybe more recently. Anyway, most common paintball markers are .68 caliber and they do have the potential to reach a muzzle velocity of over 700 FPS but that's adjustable and for safety reason usually set around 300 or 350 FPS. The velocity is tested with a chronograph just like a regular firearm. I bought various paintball markers all through the mid to late 1990's and beyond. I was never asked for a FOID to buy and was never asked when renting one either.
  7. From the excerpt you shared, self-defense was not mentioned because there is no evidence of who originally possessed the gun and who fired it. How would would self defense enter the picture?
  8. The "why" only seems relevant to us but in the grand scheme of things I don't think it really matters right? Homey got shot in the head because they violated one or more of the 4 rules and honestly they played stupid games and won stupid prizes. He's now even more brain damaged or possibly dead and she...well who knows but hopefully doesn't repeat whatever this was.
  9. So in those 30 days the order is stayed, how will the state be able to jerk us around aside from asking for an extended stay?
  10. So...AR-15's, 30 round rifle mags, and 20 round pistol mags are all legal again?
  11. Ok. Let me try to make sense of this. 1. Were you previously a resident of IL? 2. While you were a resident, did you have a FOID? 3. Are you claiming that because you moved from IL to NV, your FOID status according to the ISP is "Revoked"? 4. If the answer to #3 is yes, is that why you are saying that you need to appeal the status before applying for a CCL?
  12. So it's legal to own/possess pistol magazines with capacity greater than 15 rounds?
  13. Once it expires you need to start over. The good news is that if you only had to take an 8 hour class the first time that's all you need to do the 2nd time.
