My son is moving to Chicago ( from the U.K. ) next year , he was going to get some firearms for me to use when I visit

Well, when it comes to firearms, I'd say that Chicago isn't really much better than the UK anyway. (Of course, that's coming from someone who lives in Texas, where one can be in and out of one's friendly local gun store in less than 10 minutes with any non-NFA firearm of one's choice, as far as I know, and we sure as **** don't have to deal with any Firearm Owner ID Card nonsense.) You couldn't pay me enough to live in Daley's fiefdom. Or, for that matter, anywhere in the People's Republic of Illinois.
