I know almost nothing about Republicans seeking statewide offices
RandyP replied to vito's topic in Illinois Politics
Wait a sec - I'm a lifelong Chicagoan.... are you trying to say that there are REPUBLICANS in Illinois?????? *I are flabbergasted! -
22plinkster has a very complimentary vid on the pistol on the old YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UtgKCBqMFU

Indiana is 1 signature away from Constitutional carry.
RandyP replied to Flynn's topic in National Politics
I am uneducated in this form of legal carry - can my Hoosier relative (who has an Indiana lifetime permit) use constitutional carry to carry in other States? -
What????? No K-Cup hot beverage maker????? Ya slacker.

Just MY opinion, but you did ask-lol. Unless you have a specialized mission for your AR like say long-range or other type competition shooting etc., go with anything Mil Spec new manufacture with a 5.56 chamber in the color of your choice within your budget and have fun plinking away with what many consider the Lego version of a rifle. After you enjoy the basic budget system for a while you will find about a gazzillion aftermarket bells and whistles to personalize your rifle to your liking and hang as much crapola off the thing as you can afford and can lift without giving yerself a hernia. lol For fun plinking IMHO the low costs ones fit the mission perfectly.

And IMHO the answer to a question no one asked. I think we'd all prefer they instead added manufacturing capability to the always-out-of-stock calibers they currently produce? .410, 22WMR, 22LR and 9mm come to mine - lol.

Hi Gavin, thanks for setting the record straight. I take it that the 10 hr classroom session on one day followed by a 6 hour range day is due to the large number of students in each class who need to qualify? It raises the question in my mind, If a student is in the first group at the range, what do they do for the remaining 5-1/2+ hours while there and so on?

Can AR pistol qualify for conceal carry?
RandyP replied to vk60187's topic in Concealed Carry License Training
I'd suggest that if you are living in an area where you feel the need to carry an AR? Maybe it's time to contact a good real estate agent? lol -
22lr pistol with red dot for qualification?
RandyP replied to Squints08's topic in Concealed Carry License Training
As far as I know, there is no specific handgun requirement in the law? Also IMHO just about any kind of handgun is technically 'concealable'. -
Where shou we do our financial transactions ?
RandyP replied to djmarkla's topic in Illinois Right to Keep and Carry
I would quickly act and switch banks IF my curent bank gave me shoddy customer service, screwed up my bank accounts, or was near impossible to deal with over the phone, in person or online. I used to bank with TCF but had ZERO interest in what their corporate "politics" might be. They have since been merged with/bought out by Huntington Bank (they used to finance an SUV I owned). Again I have no knowledge and frankly zero interest in what this new organization's corporate "politics" might be. To date they have provided GREAT customer service, prompt and accurate account notifications and convenient handling of paying my scheduled bills. But that's just ME and how I choose to invest MY energy and emotions. How anyone else opts to make such choices is really none of MY business. -
I seem to recall an internet posting - I could be mistaken - of someone who despite the immense odds against it was actually noticed and challenged whilst carrying in a shoppe. It is rumored they said - "Oh.... there was a small sign on that door????? I'm terribly sorry, but I honestly didn't see it, I was stupidly occupied on my cell phone - I will gladly leave the premises immediately." And they then did peacefully leave without causing a commotion. Again, perhaps my memory is faulty, and I am NOT a lawyer (I'm poor folk - lol) so live your life accordingly.

Nothing quite like getting mugged to turn a liberal into a conservative.

How to protect self when taking public transit?
RandyP replied to vk60187's topic in Illinois Right to Keep and Carry
Take a Taxi, an Uber or a Lyft? -
A picture of Browning to hint at a John Garand rifle adopted in 1936? I kinda doubt it. But yes, the Hi Power was based on a Browning design, finshed in '35, long after his death in '26.
-
Also..... maybe REALLY check your carry-ons BEFORE you get to the airport and attempt to carry them on? Another great tip? If someone steals your heroin or crystal meth stash? Don't file a Police report, especially in person at the station.

Free Concealed Carry Training Classes
RandyP replied to Kee Firearms's topic in Concealed Carry License Training
Sincere kudos to Kee for this amazing offer. -
The moral I draw from the tale is don't step in the middle of a 'domestic' dispute. I hear tell the 'domestic' is one of the most dangerous scenes to which a police officer is frequently called.

"I agree with the OP. Unfortunately traffic is down and so is the quality of the content." As to traffic/quality... believe it or not there are members who've only orignated 6 or fewer posts since mid-2020. We all need to step up our game I reckon?

4473 after recreational marijuana purchase
RandyP replied to baendres's topic in Illinois Right to Keep and Carry
"I am not and have never been a user of adult use/recreational marijuana, but have picked some up for a family member." Sounds like a straw purchaser to me - lol -
If you are a qualified customer - The CMP ships to Chicago, just received some ammo for a Garand. I didn't see them listed on the 1st page list, so apologies if this is repeat info? Civilian Marksmanship Program eStore (thecmp.org)

I should also note another positive item, my new Glock 19 Gen 5 came with not one, not two, but three OEM magazines. I know it's not earth-shaking or anything, but it was a very nice surprise and is appreciated.

RIP ammunition for conceal carry?
RandyP replied to Glockman1997's topic in Illinois Right to Keep and Carry
IMHO in the HIGHLY unlikely event of my ever needing to draw and fire my handgun in a self-defense scenario, any kind of hollow point ammo will serve me just fine and dandy. My carry choice is factory made stuff - normally whatever was on sale at my LGS that I then function proved at the range in my chosen handgun. I remain of the opinion that shot placement ALWAYS trumps choice of specific ammo type/make or caliber.
