    Glock switches

    Since Illinois added a felony-level state offense prohibiting "Glock Switches" (and similar drop in conversion devices) we are beginning to even see a few stand alone prosecutions/convictions for possessing and using such devices. However, All I have come across so far were seemingly...

    Curio & Relic Frustrations

    Shhhh! Not so loud! C&Rs will be the next "loophole" that JB will need to close for our own good!

    I’m done buying “range bags”

    My usual "range bags" are re-purposed Samsonite™ magnesium-framed, hard sided, combo locked briefcases. I rip the factory "guts" out and glue in black doormat style carpet. These can be had all day for a couple bucks at garage and estate sales. They look dated but are sturdy, U.S. made, and...

    Have you purchased anything gun related in the last three days?

    Our family heirloom Colt 1903 pocket turned 100 years old in November. To celebrate I plunked down $80.00 and got the factory letter as a special "birthday present" for the weapon we long ago named Honey. We found out she was shipped to Shapleigh Hardware Company in St. Louis, MO Nov. 20...

    Apartment interior self-defense load for .38 Spl suggestions

    This is looking more like the better idea with the wheel gun being relegated to the back up position or spare. She ended up with the little Ruger (which had been my EDC since new) because she had recurrent issues with our G19 but does just fine with the LC9s. She will need to develop a new...

    I haven't been there myself yet...I suspect it is a bit more solid than what might go up today.

    She can handle a 6" .357 Colt Trooper III OK...but only two handed!

    Thanks Everyone for your thoughtful replies! Thinking again about how we need to look into a Taurus Judge. I've needed an excuse to get one...this might be it!

    Apartment interior self-defense load for .38 Spl suggestions

    You're right of course and I had this thought, too. Her little Ruger has "lived" for the last few years in a car safe and as a consequence wasn't being taken indoors. At her prior college she graduated from an hour South of KC in Missouri she had no other recourse as guns were banned in the...

    I'd had this thought as well. But my daughter is pretty small and doesn't like dealing with shotguns and as a result has very little experience with them. We may have to revisit the idea before she moves.

    Our daughter will be moving with her boyfriend to Indianapolis for grad school and will be residing in an apartment complex that was remodeled from a building that had been a two-story motel as first built. They have leased a corner unit on the second floor. Her usual carry pistol is a Ruger...

    Do You Change Your Every Day Carry When Going On Lengthy Out of State Road Trips?

    EDC almost always stays the same out of town but if we're traveling by car I add one of the S & W 4" mod 64s in as the "car gun" and back up. These days even a day trip to Chicago is "two gun" adventure just in case.

    Any recommendations for where to get an M-1 Carbine inspected/repaired?

    Just a general question; can anyone offer a recommendation of where I might get our early/mid WW II production Inland M 1 Carbine inspected and repaired? While it is in ok original (if well worn) condition, never appears to have been re-arsenalled or upgraded and retains the "old style" mag...

    Who should be the next NRA leader?

    Likely too old, but no doubt where he stands.... writer/director John Milius.

    Assault Weapon Identification Guide As listed or described in Illinois Compiled Statutes 720 ILCS 5/24-1.9

    Most LE are specifically exempted from having to register their weapons. Doesn't mean that they can't do so, but do not have to; and no distinction is made between work & personal weapons owned by the individual officer. Retired LE are also exempt. Both can continue to acquire the newly...
