Exactly how "tactical" and "accessorized" can one get for the other $500? How about advertising to tourists that the militia/army/P.D. is more badassed than any other agency on the planet, given that it is composed of individually loaded (implies patience) 10mm (implies mushroom clouds...

Contact your local town board! The last straw (finally)? Palatine, Burr Ridge and Hoffman Estates; there are 20 villages with a significant population that are partly or mostly in other counties but Palatine is entirely within Cook...home values (therefore potential property tax $$$) in...

Start contacting your reps! Story SPRINGFIELD -- A suburban lawmaker is one step closer to protecting the Cabela's Outdoor Superstore in Hoffman Estates from proposed gun restrictions. State Rep. Randy Ramey, a Carol Stream Republican, proposed that no county could impose stricter...

...after being a chaperone on a kindergarten field trip, I hit a couple stores on the drive back. I swore I was just browsing, yet the checkbook came out for: 1. another P7PSP 2. P6/225 3. more magazines via CDNN Which makes four 9mm YTD (PSP and P228, post-New Year's Day, thisclose...

Liko81: It just keeps getting better A door lock, easily defeated, isn't enough to avoid prosecution in your world. A breech or trigger lock, easily defeated, IS enough to avoid prosecution in your world. How about if I put a "do not steal or misuse this product" sticker on my firearms, is...

You've already trotted out "guns are for killing, everything else is a secondary purpose." .22 Short can kill, .410 can kill, all hunting calibers by definition kill, antiques/curios kill (proven when they were NOT antiques but new and revolutionary designs)...single-shot is more than...

I'm not a locksmith, but know for a fact that a certain car manufacturer had only about 20 "unique" locks from ~1979-1995; I suspect the same is true for others AND other types of key locks... I guess you'd better secure your tools as well, using yet another "unique" lock, because otherwise...

Or did they have prominent extractors? Would a 8-year-old, a teenager, or a grandmother know it was loaded? How about a gangbanger (who has some familiarity with handguns) or a typical Chicago cop (I've talked to many who didn't even know who the manufacturer of their duty piece was without...

(c) Handguns, except: (1) Those validly registered to a current owner in the County prior to the effective date of this Ordinance, and which contain each of the following: (i) A safety mechanism to hinder the use of the handgun by unauthorized users. Such devices shall...

Not trying to be a pain... True. Yet one can be charged with having a loaded firearm that isn't immediately accessible (complying with FOID Act, violating the Wildlife Code); one can also be charged with not having a proper "firearm case" (complying with FOID, violating Wildlife) even with...

Between a lack of state preemption, home-rule municipalities and counties, and the egregious practice of burying laws into other laws, residents can't be expected to know the law, never mind travelers. According to the Wildlife Code, one must have a plug, limiting a shotgun to 3 shells TOTAL...

Wasn't there a case fairly recently about a guy who wanted to build a select-fire firearm, yet was denied because he would have been "interfering" with interstate commerce (and various other cases usually involving food, in that the interference is because one is NOT buying interstate)? I...

Yes, the price of confusion just dropped from $15 (Lite Brite) to about $6 (breadboard + LEDs + 10 minutes labor). Yes, terrorists conceal bombs, at least until one doesn't. Then the ROE changes again. Yes, some day a student or grandmother will be killed over a harmless device thought to...

For me, the two most accurate handguns I own are a .32 Walther PP (slip-on, finger grooves) and a 7.62x25 CZ-52 (slip-on), and I'm just a shade behind with my Glock 20 (molded grooves). Three VERY different pistols, and I have 20+ in my collection. To some, these were designed by Satan on a...

O'Hare airport's badging office would not accept the FOID (issued by the state) nor the FedGov ID as "acceptable forms of identification." Only in Chicago...

Everything equal except the name? Then... If both groups are 12" at 10ft, then the more comfortable one will be shot more and groups should decrease. If both groups are 0.5" at 100 yards, then the more comfortable one is the better choice, regardless. Why should one put up with (not a...

"Over 6000" guns + 745 BB/replicas in 6 hours (10am-4pm) at "over 20 locations" (let's assume 25) plus they ran out of Mastercards (so less than 6 hours) = 45 widgets processed PER HOUR at each location...pretty efficient for only admitting 2 at a time and having professionals inspect each and...

From UPI: The irony of someone requesting the Secret Service because of alleged threats, yet his own people aren't vetted... :)

A spot of research... FWIW, the textbook specifies that the obligation dates back to English common law. Found this tidbit though: Between 18 USC 922 and 18 USC 926, no common carrier can ban personal firearms/ammo in baggage (or otherwise presented to the pilot, captain, conductor or...

I'm trying to decide if there's enough "there" there to do a project or term paper down the line (or a Master's Thesis) :D
