    ILLINOIS--SB1007 10 round mag limit passed the seanate.

    I made my phone call earlier. It took less than two minutes. If you've got time to order magazines, you've got time to voice your opposition.

    Farmer chases a thief, catches a felony charge

    http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10958651/from/RS.2/ I didn't see that one coming. At least the farmer isn't facing a felony any more.

    Texas Firefighter Slain Chasing Robber

    I know we have people here who cringe at the "be a good witness" line, but sometimes it really is the best course of action. For me, this is a strong reminder to avoid conflict when possible. I'm one of those people with a strong impulse to help, and it's almost gotten me into trouble...

    What WMD are they talking about?

    Question for those in the medical field

    The first question any EMS person should ask: Is the scene safe? If I just shot someone, it means they were threatening my life or the life of someone else. I'd have to assume they would still take the opportunity to kill me, should I approach. As such, they can lay bleeding on the floor...

    Call for the Minuteman Goes Forth Anew

    I guess he was earlier. The last one was more ambiguous, and I probably misinterpreted it. At least I'm in good company. :D

    Illinois is likely to remain one of four states banning concealed weapons

    I've heard that from others, too. Then I came across this. Am I missing something?

    Call for the Minuteman Goes Forth Anew

    They say the same things about the NRA.

    (Follow Up) Congress Told of ATF Seizures, Threats to Gun Buyers

    He did. That quote is out of context. He repeatedly implied that the allegations were either fabricated or based on an "aberration" in ATF activities. He also said that, if Richmond didn't want them, the ATF was welcome in Massachusetts... It was really quite nauseating. If you're...

    Cool hand at the ATM...

    It's impossible to say what I'd really do until it happens, but in ideal order of preference: 1) Don't be there 2) Run away 3) Distract him by tossing the cash over, then run away 4a) Outside Illinois: Draw and fire without warning 4b) Inside Illinois: Try really hard to run away without...

    Troopers to be Charged for NFA Violation

    Really? Well, I guess we're equally screwed on that one then. Plan B: Maybe I should move to Indiana...

    Troopers to be Charged for NFA Violation

    Yeah, under federal rules. This is Illinois, though, where NFA items are outright banned... Except for peace officers. Something tells me the author of that article doesn't know about our state restrictions. If I was a cop, I'd jump at the chance to do the paperwork and pay the tax. (How...

    No more gun sales at Walmart??

    Firearms aren't like most other commodities you can buy online, though. Every time I buy a video card, for example, I don't have to arrange for a local computer store to do federally mandated transfer paperwork.

    Army's Veteran Bomb-Disposal Robot Now 'Packs Heat'

    According to this article they're $230k apiece. But it also says they can mount a Ma Deuce. That's got to be worth something. ;) I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords.

    Virginia State Delegate has an ND in his Office (merged threads)

    Lucky or aimed? Sounds like he could've been dry-firing. Well, attempting to dry-fire anyway... And in both cases, fingers were on triggers when they should not have been. Check the military stats on NDs with Berettas and M-16s. If someone doesn't have proper training or respect for their...

    Y'all remember Ernie Chambers, right? (NE)

    I'll be sure to pass that along to the creationist MDs, science PhDs, pharmaceutical researchers and others I've known over the years. They're clearly illogical, unrational people that need you to tell them what it's all about. Their lives will be much less stressful working at Walmart...

    CPL w/o training? i think its crazy

    So what makes you think she's ever going to load the thing, led alone carry it? Sure, plenty of people buy a gun, stick it in the sock drawer and never practice. However, I have yet to meet anyone who actually carries on a regular basis that hasn't sought out training on their own. Maybe I...

    Daley dose of Federal Indictment Avoidance

    I stand corrected, fedlaw. Not surprised, just corrected. So, Jeff, how many .50 BMGs have you taken off gangbangers so far this year? It's clearly their weapon of choice.
