thats me lol back in illinois meow

Yeah, didn't it get to 70 shootings in a long weekend or something completely ridiculous. I remember it being crazy

Another reality is the number of hot days, have been less. And Chicago crime always picks up when the weather is nice. It was also nicer, earlier last year.

Nope, the HG ban has been gone for a while. And actually, with the new CCW law that past, they pretty much abolished the mag limit pre-emption for cook (Chicago) county, and a couple other home rule counties. So, in terms of concealed carry, you don't have a large amount to worry about any more. But they do still have an AWB. They also abolished the CFP (Chicago Firearms Permit), it's about time, because if you live in Cook county, you had to have a CFP card and a FOID card, and for CCW you would need a CCL card as well. Absolutely ridiculous. There have been some interesting developments in Chicago regarding guns. But we all know, all those thug gang bangers will be getting their CCL's at 150 a pop + 16 hours of training. (Although, they only need 8 hours, if they took the hunters safety course... people hunting that is.) Chicago, and effectively, this state are doomed.

I think we need stronger gun laws... And we definitely need more AWB.

I just hope the NSA likes hearing about how my butt itches, or how my farts smell. :-) I think it's purely naïve to believe we aren't being spied on all the time. I try not to let it bother me, as there are more important things in life... since it's short, I'll worry about those instead. :-)

Haha, I have been around. Been a very busy summer... which is good, I guess haha. I can CCW now actually, in 33 states ;-) I'm not terribly concerned with Illinois. They are still dicking around with pretty much anything related to it, I think some of the politicians are under the impression that they can do something to stop it still.

OMG... someone is collecting data on me??!!1!!11111111

Pussification of America.

http://www.foxnews.com/world/2013/05/22/man-killed-in-reported-machete-attack-in-london/?cmpid=cmty_twitter_fn I'll be happy to shoot a fucker if they try and do that to me... I won't even feel bad about it at the end of the day.

They were amatuers, thankgod. If they knew what they were doing, with bombs, they could have made a larger impact. If they had guns, I wonder if some of the LEO presence would have shot them before things got too out of hand.

+1 You want help, submit for a test, shouldn't be too hard.

You are jaded, lol. Shooting at police officers... also legal?

Do you think this guy was on the side of "Law-Abiding" or on the side of "Non-Law-Abiding" ?

lol, I did get it. Come June 9th with no actual carry law, you will see something like that in the news I can gaurantee. RE: Carrying an AK47 in public, open carry.

yup, gangbangers however are breaking that law though. Tsk Tsk. Better throw them in jail...

Actually, Illinois you technically MUST check for a FOID card for personal sales too, and retain all documents pertaining to the sale for up to 10 years.

Liiiiiike? Essentially: W.W.C.B. lol

OMG OMG OMG lol What you buyin? I'm looking at another Springfield (XDS .45) or possibly a Kimber Solo 9mm

Because people think that when you buy a gun online it ships to your door step. Morons.

It was supposedly an exacto knife. Ban them. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/04/09/at-least-5-reportedly-stabbed-on-lone-star-college-campus/

I can't blame anyone for fearing confiscation honestly, I mean, if people weren't it means we learned nothing from history. I'm not terribly worried however.

Smartgunlaws.com IS that a website against or for guns? Because stats are kind of... well, they can be made up.

Just because a person has an arsenal doesn't mean you're going to die.

I'm not a member, no. But here in Illinois, there is a hold back time period for a handgun purchase, and rifle/shotgun: 3 days and 1 day respectively. Also, Illinois is a FOID state, so we do have background checks at minimum for when we get our FOID card. Also, and on top of everything else, in CCW states, you tend to get finger printed when you apply for a CCW permit. ...
