I've bought most of mine FTF. I always figured the less times I had a NICS run on me, the better (not for any nefarious reasons, more of a principled thing). Most times, I've simply gone to the sellers home. A couple of times, I've asked to meet at a mutually agreed upon range. Partially for...

Banks don't want to know what you have in your box. In the state of Illinois, if it your box is drilled for non payment (typically after a year or so of deliquency), the bank holds the contents for 5 years. If still not claimed, the contents are forwarded to the State's Treasurers office of...

Sorry, but what's RIG?

Problem with that is the Judges don't deviate from what the Machine wants.

One could try that IF the judges didn't march lockstep with the craziness that is the Chicago Machine. Don't forget, it took a Federal judge to force the state's hand on CCW.

Sounds like you already made your decision. And a good one at that (not that you could really go wrong) I wanted to add one thing. There is literally no where within 80 miles that I can shoot a rifle over .22lr. I don't know anyone who has enough property and the only indoor ranges that...

Did anyone see this? http://www.theglobaldispatch.com/chicago-police-chief-garry-mccarthy-says-nra-supporters-are-corrupt-endangers-public-safety-89947/ Garry McCarthy says that supporters of the 2a and NRA members are corrupting the political process. It's so absurd on so many levels...

He's awesome. I wish we could trade the Crook County Sheriff, Lil Tom Dart, for him.

Unfortunately, I think there is an extremely large segment of the population to whom this would actually seem informative.

I know! I'm preaching to the choir. But hear me out. In this opinion piece from CNN.com http://www.cnn.com/2014/05/28/opinion/ghitis-isla-vista-killing/index.html?hpt=op_t1 The author makes some fairly typical gun control statements. But what struck me most was a comment on making it...

Even without these absurd regulations, why any sensible business person would want to set up shop in Chicago is beyond me.

I was in a very similar household to MedWheeler, just substitute Chicago for NE. We had a sort of right of passage in my family: Grandpa Camp. When boys in the family were around 12 or 13, we were sent for anywhere from a week to a month to Grandpa and Grandma's farm in rural Wisconsin...

I'm wondering if anyone in Chicago or Cook County has had luck with online ammo purchases and what website you used? As far as I can tell, it's legal. But some retailers flat out won't ship here. I'm in Chicago proper, unfortunately. But I have friends and family who have FOIDs and can have...

The only time I needed to test these sort of waters was when I dropped a magazine from my FNX9. Cracked the follower. Called FNH USA. They sent me out a new one, no questions asked, free of charge. Received in a couple days. Very pleasant experience. I believe I'm the 3rd owner of this...

Forgive my ignorance, but what is "Zumbo" in reference to?
