    Always meet strangers in a public place if you are doing a private sale.

    I've bought most of mine FTF. I always figured the less times I had a NICS run on me, the better (not for any nefarious reasons, more of a principled thing). Most times, I've simply gone to the sellers home. A couple of times, I've asked to meet at a mutually agreed upon range. Partially for...

    Guns in a bank safety deposit box

    Banks don't want to know what you have in your box. In the state of Illinois, if it your box is drilled for non payment (typically after a year or so of deliquency), the bank holds the contents for 5 years. If still not claimed, the contents are forwarded to the State's Treasurers office of...

    Chicago police chief

    Problem with that is the Judges don't deviate from what the Machine wants.

    Chicago police chief

    One could try that IF the judges didn't march lockstep with the craziness that is the Chicago Machine. Don't forget, it took a Federal judge to force the state's hand on CCW.

    Shotgun vs ar

    Sounds like you already made your decision. And a good one at that (not that you could really go wrong) I wanted to add one thing. There is literally no where within 80 miles that I can shoot a rifle over .22lr. I don't know anyone who has enough property and the only indoor ranges that...

    Chicago police chief

    Did anyone see this? http://www.theglobaldispatch.com/chicago-police-chief-garry-mccarthy-says-nra-supporters-are-corrupt-endangers-public-safety-89947/ Garry McCarthy says that supporters of the 2a and NRA members are corrupting the political process. It's so absurd on so many levels...

    WI Sheriff calls citizens to arms -- UPDATE: Wins Re-Election

    He's awesome. I wish we could trade the Crook County Sheriff, Lil Tom Dart, for him.

    Rolling Stone to the rescue!!!

    Unfortunately, I think there is an extremely large segment of the population to whom this would actually seem informative.

    The Gun Control Crowd just doesn't get it

    I know! I'm preaching to the choir. But hear me out. In this opinion piece from CNN.com http://www.cnn.com/2014/05/28/opinion/ghitis-isla-vista-killing/index.html?hpt=op_t1 The author makes some fairly typical gun control statements. But what struck me most was a comment on making it...

    IL: Chicago Mayor >Videotape all gun purchases

    Even without these absurd regulations, why any sensible business person would want to set up shop in Chicago is beyond me.

    First handgun I ever shot.....

    I was in a very similar household to MedWheeler, just substitute Chicago for NE. We had a sort of right of passage in my family: Grandpa Camp. When boys in the family were around 12 or 13, we were sent for anywhere from a week to a month to Grandpa and Grandma's farm in rural Wisconsin...

    Online Ammo Purchase to Chicago

    I'm wondering if anyone in Chicago or Cook County has had luck with online ammo purchases and what website you used? As far as I can tell, it's legal. But some retailers flat out won't ship here. I'm in Chicago proper, unfortunately. But I have friends and family who have FOIDs and can have...

    Gun Companies with poor and good customer support

    The only time I needed to test these sort of waters was when I dropped a magazine from my FNX9. Cracked the follower. Called FNH USA. They sent me out a new one, no questions asked, free of charge. Received in a couple days. Very pleasant experience. I believe I'm the 3rd owner of this...

    Ear Protection

    Late to the post, too. But I know when I realized how important hearing protection was. A good client of mine is a retired copper and range rat. I met him when he was in his late 60's. He couldn't hear a thing. Seeing someone like that was what really drove the point home. Made me rethink the...

    Emily Miller on Morning Joe

    Great clip of Emily Miller on Morning Joe. http://www.rightsightings.com/emily-miller---msnbc---10-10-13.html She does a great job shooting down typical anti 2a fallacies. Not to mention she's pretty easy on the eyes. I think I'm in love.

    Life Below Zero

    Fantastic when you said something along the lines of "It's hot as hell out here. It's nearly 40 degrees!" Amazing how acclimated one gets to their environment. The show is fun to watch.

    Even with Ill. Supreme Court ruling carrying a weapon is still not a reality

    Trent, that was awesome and spot on. ILBob, I'm totally agree. At this point, it seems like at the very least, keeping it in the car (unloaded) is legal everywhere. And living in Chicago, that makes me much more comfortable on my daily commute.

    Favorite "gun" scene in a movie?

    The Departed - when DiCaprio gets one between the eyes as the elevator opens, followed almost immediately by the heavy set black guy being shot by the other mole followed almost immediately by Damon shooting the other mole. Great scene.
