Good luck guys! If you ever get class 3 approved, I'll move across the river!

Quote: Eg states that require you to unholster before going into a prohibited place. To be accurate, there are no laws anywhere that require a person to "unholster". There are certainly laws which require a person to disarm, but the choice to "unholster" is purely on the part of the...

I've been asking for some time about the legality of carrying in IL DNR Campgrounds and the answer has been from most sources Yes, No, Maybe, No Way, Only while hunting and I'd wait until a judge says so. It is hard to argue with the wisdom of the last comment. However, today I received a...

Our M14's did a job on boat motors in the delta. The M16's, when they showed up, not so much.

Trent does a great job in his class. I had the great privilege of "sitting in" on his First session (basic Pistol) with my son as he took his CC classes with Trent. Outstanding job! I'm not trying to stroke his ego or anything like that - he don't need it :D, but I can't tell you just how...

I may be getting my hopes up foolishly, but that sb 2786 bill, would that mean there might be a bill authorizing suppressors on guns with legible serial numbers???? I'm sur that would make far too much sense for Illinois. '

I've got to admit, I'm impressed. http://www.andrewsleather.com/traditional.htm And this is just too much. My son started giggling like a little girl!

Drawing is not the problem it might appear. In fact it's just a straight reach back and what you can't see in that photo is that there's a open space right where the pistol grip is. Easy to grip AND to put back with a lean to the right. jutinlee - yeah, I know shoulder systems are made for...

This is most likely the wrong place to post this, but since it is my thread and since I'm trying to figure out how to be legal, I'll risk the ire of our very indulging mods. Since I sit in a wheelchair finding a holster/belt/gun combination has been a bit of a nightmare. Pressure sores are...

See what I mean... I'm just a tired old soldier. The only clause I ever worried over when I was a kid was Santa. See where that got me? :D I hope they can clear some of this up in this session, because this is just a dumb mistake that will catch a lot of us. The notion that before I can enter...

I was referring to keeping the pistol in the camper. Sorry I wasn't clear about that, but that brings up another snag, moving from the camper to the truck. When we are leaving the campground for shopping and such is carrying a unloaded gun from the camper to the truck that I'll load when we get...

Trent, what about state campgrounds? I have not had a good answer on that yet. One CG we frequent has a unfenced play area for kids with slide and swings and such. Does that make the campground a GFZ because it's a "park"? This one has me worried. I can go 30 miles more to a federal parks CG and...

I shoot at a 100yd target with my 1911 every time I carry it to the range. With fair results. Why, because I can't run and my wheelchair is not fast. I also shoot it at 50 and 25 yds because you never know where a BG will be. IL refuses to let us carry a rifle, so I train with my 1911 like it...
