For those in the public eye it is said that the only bad press is no press. The marxist media would like to be quiet about Trump but their people cannot stop bragging about their attacks on him. Keep those unjust, unfair attacks coming. More and more people are seeing what the democrat party has become.

Reading the posts above I think there is confusion. As I interpret the Foid Modernization Act there is an issue to understand; finger prints. No finger prints on file: Foid only holders keep their existing expiration date being good for 10 years. For CLL holders if their current foid expires before their current CCL the foid expiration will automatically be extended out to the CCl's expiration date. From then on the CCl will be renewed by that date every five years, foid every ten years. If a current CCL's foid has been renewed prior to this Foid Modernization Act it's ten years expiration will still show it's future expiration date for the late 202? or early 203?s. At this expiration date it should automatically extend out to the future CCL expiration date. At that point the two cards (combo) month and day will line up and stay lined up for the future. CCL still good for five years. Foid good for ten years. All buying a gun does is get the state to update your ISP declaration page info while they are logged on with this one time auto extension so as to line up the two cards (combo) with the same month and day. To update everyone's deck page would be labor intensive. Now for those with finger prints on file due to the Foid Modernization Act or the FCCA. Your Foid is life time. No more charge. Still fee for CCL renewal. Don't worry what your deck page has for a foid expiration date. This is how I read all this.

Wayne and NRA found guilty of corruption.
Smallbore replied to Black Flag's topic in National Politics
If these prosecutors where not political, they could after many organizations. Though I did not like the NRA high end expenses they did have I IRS keeping close tabs on them. This confuses me on how New York got a conviction on corruption when these expenses past IRS scrutiny. These expenses are not uncommon. -
CCL/employee shoots jewel thief
Smallbore replied to Euler's topic in Illinois Right to Keep and Carry
I do not understand ignoring that the salesman's life was threaten by the violent act of the robber. A victim does not have to wait until he is hurt to defend himself. A person walking up to me slamming his fist down on a desk or glass case is a violent threatening act no different than pointing a knife or gun at me. I am a moron not to fear for my life and defend it. -
CCL/employee shoots jewel thief
Smallbore replied to Euler's topic in Illinois Right to Keep and Carry
How is this guy not committing robbery? He is violent. Under the UUW defense of dwelling only "felony" is stated not "forcible felony". Though a business is not a dwelling the employees could be said were at that time dwelling there. Violence should be a tipping point. Does the law really side with (protect) an invited quest (where ever) once he becomes violent? -
CCL/employee shoots jewel thief
Smallbore replied to Euler's topic in Illinois Right to Keep and Carry
As a layman I don't really care if you call him a robber, a burglar or a thief. Once he shattered a display case he entered in a violent, riotous, tumultuous manner. I will react accordingly. -
Can a sword be legally carried openly in IL?
Smallbore replied to vito's topic in Illinois Right to Keep and Carry
The opinion from: https://www.andrewnickel.com/blog/2021/october/illinois-knife-laws/ "Other legal knives in Illinois include pocket/folding knives, bowie knives, dirks/daggers, swords, machetes, and disguised knives such as belt knives, cane knives, and lipstick knives." -
Combo card question
Smallbore replied to jkdkaliman101's topic in Illinois Concealed Carry Licensing Process
Where did I miss that the ISP has said the ecard is no longer valid once lost card is reported? -
Firefight when CCL-holder tracks stolen car
Smallbore replied to Euler's topic in Illinois Right to Keep and Carry
I had to search the web finally finding it mentioned then digging deeper. "Self help" Laws limit it. Wisdom does too. -
Firefight when CCL-holder tracks stolen car
Smallbore replied to Euler's topic in Illinois Right to Keep and Carry
I am under the impression we the victim can not bypass the police and the courts to get our stuff back. I hope we can legally track our stolen property but once found we are required to let the police take it further. The legal term escapes me. Wisdom tells me walking into a gun fight over a car is not smart. -
NY to end (possibly) NRA qualification for instructors
Smallbore replied to Euler's topic in National Politics
Surprised Air Force is excluded or any branch fully accepted. I have a nephew now retired after 20 year. He was in some field of radio communication. He was constantly involved in field exercises. He now spend too much time in the middle East. Just got back from Jordan. Will be heading back also too soon. -
NY to end (possibly) NRA qualification for instructors
Smallbore replied to Euler's topic in National Politics
All instructor quality is up to the individual. NRA trainers general are gun people where as police are not. I have no problem stating the NRA trainers, who are taught how to "teach" in the courses, have a far better understanding of safe gun handling then the government trained men. It is difficult for those trained in offence to step back to limit instruction to defense. Just saying. I suspect us gun people shoot much more than police, especially the many of us who compete. We know how to keep shots on target. We know we have to. -
It is difficult to give good advise over the internet. Too many unknowns. In your mid fifties a hand exercise ball could help especially with arthritis. My 70 year old hands do better with constant exercise. Though I believe the 9mm is for strong hands. I can still handle the 9 but there will come a day I can't. Then I will carry a 38 special revolver.
