I was thinking, is .357 Sig a good carry?

It wasn't your links that I was talking about. It was a different discussion where somebody posted links to an article from 2005. I Googled and found some newer links that contradicted the ones from 2005. Instead of posting them and starting a link war, I took the high road.

You wouldn't be trying to bash another member in a totally different thread where he can't even defend himself, would you?

It sounds like you are referring to this:

Plus here is another example of how the laws are written poorly.
Sec. 40. Non-resident license applications.
The issue is sections (a-d) are strictly about "Non-resident license applications"
The issue is to get a IL CCL part of the requirement is obtaining a FOID card.
Which is something only residents of Illinois can obtain.
This came up with a close friend who moved to Minnesota 16 years ago. He has a Minnesota permit-to-carry. He was born and raised in Illinois. His brother in law is a almost retired Illinois State Police Officer. He asked him is his Minnesota permit valid in Illinois. The answer from a ISP who will retire next year is "I don't think so and I'm not sure". Hmm?
His brother in law is a pretty smart guy and even he doesn't know.
While it seems I am beating a dead horse with this one once again I am saying the laws are extremely vague. They are so vague that they overlap and even the ones written strictly for concealed carry basically are oxymoronic.
Reading over this topic I see a FFL holder in IL that posted what he thinks the laws are. He posted "NO, unloaded, not easily accessible, and fully encased."
I tend to think for right now that is the safest bet. Just remember that according to the owner of a gun shop and shooting range that a loaded magazine in the same proximity makes a semi auto legally loaded.
Illinois will eventually get it's ducks in a row but for now I wouldn't be too sure about what you read or how it's interpreted.
Nothing ruins a vacation like a ride in a squad car.
As for the court ruling that started all of this, the actual incident happened in 2005. The appeals ruling was in 2011. Had the CPD not tacked on the FOID charge IMO the whole thing would have been moot. Leonard Holmes in 2005 would have been guilty of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon. That is once again an opinion and not a fact.
The reason for all of this is I do not want an honest citizen become a test case in Illinois. It's not just me bashing the way the laws are written even though it may seem that way.

From the Illinois thread.

That happened in 2005 but the appeals ruling wasn't until 2011. If you have something both newer and contradictory, I'm sure we would like to see it.

No, try again. I was asked nicely to change my screen name.
Which I gladly did.
The thread you write of is DONE.
No bashing of anyone so please don't overthink it.
It was something completely else since you seem to be stalking my posts.
Let the Illinois thing go, it's been locked.
Take the High Road!

You are stalking my posts.

If you'll notice, I posted in this thread long before you did. Check page one, post #14, twelve days ago.

Believe it or not I post in more than one sub section of THR.

Yes you did post in this thread first but I did not call you out by name and make reference to a totally different thread. With 8200+ posts I believe that you post in many different sub sections of THR but you called me out by name on something that was totally unrelated to THIS thread. This thread has nothing to do with the Illinois thread so what it "Sounds" like is a personal attack. THR house rule #4 - personal attacks are prohibited. I will not put up with "flaming". Your buddy can defend himself but I would rather not have you two team up and flame me again.
Like Frank Ettin wrote, "Enough".
If you have something to post about in this thread, I will gladly read it.

 

[Warp]

Yes, I "called you out by name" aka quoted your post and asked who and what you were complaining about.

I don't know what buddy you are talking about or what "flame" you are talking about. And don't care.

I don't see me complaining before you "called you out by name".
You know exactly what I am "talking about".
I am asking you nicely, could you just stop please?
Do you have a gun chambered in 357 sig and if you do, what kind of gun is it?

 

[Walkalong]

Enough.
