Illinois Governor Lists Gun Stores as ‘Essential,’ Exempted from Shutdown

Maybe somebody should tell the mayor of Champagne about her obvious overreach!!

April 1 isn't here yet, is it?

^ My first reaction, too.

Seems to be so:

But I note all have direct quotes from the Breitbart piece.

Nowadays I doubt everything. Everything.

Makes me wonder if Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) is thinking of switching parties.

I guess old JB --- whom I refer to chummily as "Mr. Hug-A-Tubby™" --- decided it was best to offer us gun nuts some assurance because he damned well knew that we would actually read the details in the order.

I must be in an alternate reality in an episode of The Twilight Zone. Somebody pinch me.

I live near Bloomington/Normal Illinois (central Illinois off of I-55). We have a local gun shop/shooting range/ firearm training center called Central Illinois Shooting Sports or CISS. I received an email from them today stating that they will be open for firearm and ammunition purchases, but the ranges are closed and training session are postponed indefinitely. I suppose that makes sense, at least they get to operate as a gun shop, but I would say that most of their income is from the range fees.

Amazing. Next we'll see New Jersey going shall-issue. But seriously, that is great.

Duplicate thread. Why?

No surprise that California has declared marijuana dispensaries "essential businesses".

Texas Gov. Abbot has temporarily revoked the rule that prevented restaurant food deliveries from also including booze, but you must also order food.

Our outdoor gun club remains open, although all classes and organized matches are canceled. We had planned to go this weekend, but too much rain

 

[Zaydok Allen]

Well sure. Why close them when there’s lots of hoops to go through and no ammo to buy?

Im writing to the governor and telling him that he'll get the support of many more voters if he
leaves us and our gun alone going forward. Hammer real criminals but stop trying to create a new class by attacking gun owners. We’re a
dedicated bunch to have on ones side if he stops playing us a threat to social order We will see what happens.
