    Gunshot at a Gun Show

    Read the law - it doesn't require you to show a FOID to look at a gun. There are quite a few of us out there who will choose not to do business with a FFL who chooses to do this. If I'm going to buy the gun, FOID and 4473 are understood.

    Questions about moving and self/property protection

    I work for a moving company... not the shady kind. Uhaul's insurance will typically only cover the vehicle in the event of a collision. They won't take any liability for what you may or may not have loaded onto the truck or for what condition it may or may not be in. Check your rental...

    Illinois Members, Appellate Court Rules a Glove Compartment may be a Case

    This was out two months ago - interesting article in the Peoria Journal Star if you can find it online. It's a liberal rag though, so I'm not going to bother looking it up for everyone. Great discussion at illinoiscarry.com http://illinoiscarry.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=8881&hl=glove+box

    Craziness on my College Campus

    That was my college campus a few years ago as well.... I lived half a block south on Healey. I'm glad we have a SWAT because of the westside park shooting last year, and a few more crime sprees. You're focusing on the use of the SWAT team too much, and not thinking of the fact that there...

    PF9 is 229.99 + shipping in the newest CDNN catalog. If you're outside of TX, no sales tax, just transfer through your local FFL.

    Moving Companies / Guns

    Detachment Charlie - Sorry to hear of your bad experiences. I work for a moving company. We are not ethically challenged. The industry does not have the best reputation, but a few bad apples spoil the cart for the rest of us. My warehouse manager has his FFL. Stick with a good national...

    20 ga equivalent rnds in 12 ga

    www.shotgunworld.com I shoot 7/8 reloads in 870's and my 11-87. They break clays just fine. My fiance loves shooting them, and can shoot all day without the slightest bruise on her shoulder. She would shoot 4 boxes a day tops with factory loads. While I've learned much here at THR, I've...

    IL - Officer loses gun, last seen on top of his car

    I thought they were allowed to carry firearms to protect themselves and their families. I think the rest of us should have the same right.

    IL - Officer loses gun, last seen on top of his car

    This happened on Thursday last. They still haven't found it, but are spending a few hours each day looking along the 5.5 mile trip he took with k9 units and metal detectors. 8-10 inches of snow aren't helping matters. I'm content in knowing that I am protected in my home, and hope that no...

    Behavior Modification Device For Handguns

    I like number 16 on the diagram. 'automatic' handgun. Anyone ever use the shock pens that run on 2AA batteries? The pen thieves steer clear of my desk now at work. But, for handguns, they should be stored safely and out of the reach of children.

    reuters news article on America's Gun Culture...

    "University of Chicago's National Opinion Research Center (NORC)" I wonder what their mission statement consists of..... opinions are like a-holes, everyone's got one. What a poorly written article. I like how he appears to link the decrease in firearms ownership is related to mass shootings...

    IL?: Moving to Central IL (Maybe)..

    I would think twice before a permanent move to IL. I would recommend Indiana if you want to be closer. Supposedly lower taxes, possibility of concealed carry permit, etc. Without diving into politics too deeply, a special session of the state legislature was called last fall to try and ban...

    Why is a FOID necessary to handle guns in gunshops?

    Scout, Thanks for the well researched reply. I've followed the firearms laws as paraphrased in the NRA-ILA booklet that says 'A person with a FOID card can loan a gun to a non-FOID card owner as long as the gun was used at a range and under the supervision of the owner.' I think you missed an...

    Do I need FOID ?

    Technically, no IIRC, you need a FOID to purchase, possess, transport firearms or ammo in IL. I believe that is what the law says. You don't need a FOID to enter the show, the promoter will gladly take your customary $5.00. However, most dealers at most gun shows I've attended in IL take...
