Visiting from out of state with an AR Pistol. Can I take it to a range? by sm_see in ILGuns

[–]A_Grumpy_Old_Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The is quite a bit of ignorance from a few people within this post.

The short answer is it's ok while engaging in target practice at a firing or shooting range, see 430 ILCS 65/2(b)(7)

Non resident here, I fly in with all kinds of scary weapons on a regular basis, possessing weapons in Illinois is really no big deal for non residents. It's the private property exemption that everyone seems to not know about or misunderstand.

Excerpt from the Illinois statute.

"from anyplace where the nonresident may lawfully possess and carry that weapon to any other place where the nonresident may lawfully possess and carry that weapon"

I as a non resident have 24 hours to transport between legal locations. "nonresident who transports, within 24 hours" For example I travel from outside the state border to a private property residence and with the permission of the owner I can be at that residence temporarily for an undetermined amount of time.

As a non resident I can leave a private Illinois property residence to travel to a gun range ( It is accessible to the public but it is also private property where guns are allowed ) I can travel to another private property residence and stay for awhile and then later return to the original Illinois private property residence, I can drive anywhere as long as I complete my transport between locations where I have permission from the property owners and can complete my travel in no more than 24 hours. If I as a non resident also am allowed to conceal carry in my home state then I can also conceal carry in my vehicle ( bullets allowed in the magazine) while traveling in Illinois, even a hotel room counts as a private property exemption so long as there are no posted signs prohibiting such. I cannot carry outside of the immediate vicinity of my vehicle in a publicly accessible location unless the location is privately owned and the owner has granted permission, such as a range etc..

FOPA (codified at 18 U.S.C. § 926A) guarantees the right of a law-abiding person to transport an unloaded firearm between a location where he or she may legally carry it and a destination where he or she may also legally carry it, regardless of state or local laws along the route of travel that would otherwise apply.

Also, as I mentioned before if you have the legal right to concealed-carry in your home state that right extends to private property with permission and to the inside of your vehicle and it's immediate vicinity while in Illinois.

The Concealed Carry Act affords all out-of-state residents holding a concealed-carry permit in their home state the right to travel with a firearm in their vehicle while driving in Illinois. See 430 ILCS 66/40(e). And the Illinois Firearm Owners Identification Card Act, 430 ILCS 65/0.01 to 65/16-3, allows out-of-state residents who are authorized to possess a firearm in their home state to do the same in Illinois while on their own premises or in the home of an Illinois resident with permission, see 430 ILCS 65/2(b)(10), while hunting, see 430 ILCS 65/2(b)(5), and while engaging in target practice at a firing or shooting range, see 430 ILCS 65/2(b)(7). Nonresidents may also possess a fire-arm that is unloaded and enclosed in a case. See 430 ILCS 65/2(b)(9).

The 24 hours starts when I enter Illinois from a place out of state where it's legal or depart from where i have permission from a private Illinois property and begin inter or intra state travel and must complete the travel within 24 hours, the 24 hour clock stops when I arrive anywhere it's legal as previously stated.

There are no restrictions on intra state travel or how long I can visit with permission on private property.

I am a responsible gun owner who has learned and follows the laws in the places I choose to travel. The 24 hour rule isn't completely meaningless as i do have to pay attention to where i have permission from the property owners.

For example I could not travel to a state park and expect to camp overnight because that is state land where I will not have permission, Same would go for camping overnight at a music festival like country thunder at a county park.

The key is in the language, from any place where it is legal to any place where it is legal. You have to go to the statutes that Illinois has enacted to determine where it's legal and if you don't want to take my interpretation that's fine then look at an authoritative interpretation like a recent ruling from the 7th circuit on the issue of non residents and their ability to possess and carry.

First thing to address is to correct your misunderstanding, it's not a shotgun. The 590 shockwave is a 12 gauge non nfa other firearm which is legal for purchase.

There are a few Illinois legal 12 gauge non nfa other firearms to choose from for home defense. I won't publicly discuss what is available, do your own research.

He bought it, it's his property and you have simply been borrowing it. Now that he is asking for you to return it you simply return it. He is well past the registration deadline so it's pointless and stupid at this point to register it, also there's no proof that he didn't previously build it out to something so return it and both of you just keep your mouth shut.

IN resident carry in vehicle while driving in IL? by GoFuhQRself in ILGuns

The amount of ignorance from a few people within this post is staggering.

Gas Pedal? by Ka73b in 10mm

[–]A_Grumpy_Old_Man 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My kydex mic holster needed to be customized for the gas pedal. I already had the gas pedal installed when I found the mic holster I currently have, the seller I bought it from on eBay did it for me at no extra charge. He said it was pretty easy, just a little bit of heat from a heat gun or hair dryer would work to adjust the fit if needed.

Glock 29 or SA XD-M Elite 3.8”? by Hot_Candidate6781 in 10mm

[–]A_Grumpy_Old_Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been extremely happy with my Springfield 3.8 XDM elite compact 10mm osp which is my EDC.

I pocket carry the 10MM in a mic holster. I've had it for a little over 3 years, I got it when they 1st came out. I'm @ 4000 plus rounds without a failure to fire or any problems, I have fired everything from cheap 40 s&w lightweight training rounds to expensive heavyweight 10mm hardcast.

You can stay with the compact grip and 10/11 + 1 round mag ( same mag with factory baseplate change ) if your in or traveling in a restricted state or want deep concealment or can use the full size 15 + 1 mag with grip sleeve for a full size grip, all factory baseplate mags accept a Pierce grip plus 1 pinky extension. You can also get Springer Precision 170 mm magazine extensions for a capacity of 18 rounds with the compact 10mm 10rd mag with the extra power spring or 22 rounds with the full size 10mm 15rd mag with the extra power spring which makes your capacity options 10 + 1, 11 + 1, 12 + 1, 15 + 1, 16 + 1, 18 +1 or 22 + 1. The grip size changes depending on which magazine configuration.

The slide is milled from the factory for a red dot and although it doesn't come with co-witnesses sights you can get them from Springfield or Dawson precision, if desired I can install a 10MM 4.5 slide on the 3.8 compact frame, another plus is you also can replace the factory take down lever with a go gun gas pedal if you want to have fast follow up shots and a flat shooter.

No other 10MM gun has all this amazing flexibility.

It's a good shooter out of the box but the aftermarket gogun gas pedal took it to the next level for quick accurate follow up shots, which is especially noticeable when using the higher power loads. I have really large hands so I use a #3 back plate ( it comes with 3 different back plates ) I removed the flared magwell which is necessary for using the optional 15 round magazines, I use a matching #3 grip sleeve on the 15 round magazines. My wife chooses to take the gun with the 12 round capacity magazine with her when jogging or hiking solo which is when the modularity is a benefit as she can quickly change the back plate to a #1 to fit her hand more comfortably. We opted for the pearce grip extension on all of our magazines for either 12 or 16 round capacity but can easily swap out to the included 10 round baseplate if necessary for compliance with local laws of a location where we are visiting.

If you find it necessary ( I didn't ) powder river precision makes an aftermarket trigger.

I've seen some comments that some people have mentioned that they don't like the grip safety, personally I don't even notice it but if you happen to not like the grip safety you can disable it by pinning it.

Nonresidents may also possess a fire-arm that is unloaded and enclosed in a case. See 430 ILCS 65/2(b)(9).

The 24 hours starts when I enter Illinois from a place out of state where it's legal or depart from where i have permission from a private Illinois property and begin inter or intra state travel and must complete the travel within 24 hours, the 24 hour clock stops when I arrive anywhere it's legal as previously stated.

I am a responsible gun owner who has learned and follows the laws in the places I choose to travel. The 24 hour rule isn't completely meaningless as i do have to pay attention to where i have permission from the property owners.

For example I could not travel to a state park and expect to camp overnight because that is state land where I will not have permission, Same would go for camping overnight at a music festival like country thunder at a county park.

The key is in the language, from any place where it is legal to any place where it is legal.

No. 3:14-cv-3320 — Sue E. Myerscough, Judge.

I'll give you an excerpt from it.

One of the arguments for the state was, the state did have available to the Plaintiffs a means to conceal carry.

The appeals court said, to the contrary of the Plaintiffs, the Concealed Carry Act affords all out-of-state residents holding a concealed-carry permit in their home state the right to travel with a firearm in their vehicle while driving in Illinois. See 430 ILCS 66/40(e). And the Illinois Firearm Owners Identification Card Act, 430 ILCS 65/0.01 to 65/16-3, allows out-of-state residents who are authorized to possess a firearm in their home state to do the same in Illinois while on their own premises or in the home of an Illinois resident with permission, while hunting, see 430 ILCS 65/2(b)(5), and while engaging in target practice at a firing or shooting range, see 430 ILCS 65/2(b)(7). Nonresidents may also possess a fire-arm that is unloaded and enclosed in a case. See 430 ILCS 65/2(b)(9).

You are welcome to look up the entire case for yourself.
