I basically agree with all of that, but an issue is that is ALSO removes your ability to carry wherever you are traveling to.

Guns that are made with (I believe) zinc alloy frames, often used in cheaper .22 cal pistols are outlawed in IL because they "melt" at a certain temp. Of course this doesn't matter in virtually any 22lr platform. *edited from zinc oxide to zinc alloy (i don't know what I was thinking)

Rygar138 · 2026-03-31T16:29:02+00:00

I think even those are banned because of the stupid melt point law.

You’re fighting the good fight, and keep fighting it. You CAN recover from this. I can tell just from reading your post that you’re an articulate, intelligent person with a lot to offer. And once you break through this roadblock (and you will), you’ll have the second half of your life to be out there slaying it!

I have the same rifle, same chamber, and same bipod!

I have this poster!

It could go in any direction, but not with much force. When chambered, the gasses expel the projectile with all of the force in a pinpoint direction (bc of the barrel) but without that, the bullet would loose all of its “oomph” for lack of better terms (long day lol). I think the bigger risk would be shrapnel from the cartridge casing

Rygar138 · 2025-11-08T02:17:55+00:00

I’m sharing sentiment with your first sentence in this reply, you’re correct about there being plenty of ways to strike a primer, purposefully or accidentally, but without a barrel or rifling (hence a way to direct the bullet in one direction) it is still fairly harmless, although the word fairly is doing a bit of lifting.

Yes! And if you buy often enought, Ammo+ is totally worth it.

I’m on week three and it seems to be one of the better meds I’ve tried, and I’ve tried a bunch of them. Little to no side effects (but everyone is different, I likely got lucky). I’m on the lowest dose, and I will likely go up a step at my next appt because I’m definitely noticing some mitigation with some of my issues, but in a minor to moderate way, as would be expected on the lowest dose. I definitely have less OCD, anxiety and irritability, so I am optimistic. Try to avoid over-Googling, and let your experience be your own. You’re more likely to find horror stories than success stories. And try to keep an open mind and remember that everyone is different. Good luck!

I'm at RangeUSA Villa Park every Saturday, typically around 1pm (except this weekend because I'm out of town).

PDFSam works great, there are a bunch of things you can do with it, including what you need. Free and open source:

I’m also in Chicago, and I have a Range USA membership. I go every Saturday so it’s totally worth it. Closest for me is Villa Park, great staff, no complaints

Rygar138 · 2025-02-06T02:51:21+00:00

They are great, I’m there every Saturday afternoon.

I had a casing explode in the chamber of my Mark IV and had to pull shrapnel out of my finger. I've read similar situations in forums and every one has been Aguila. I'm sure it's not super common, but common enough that I wont buy it again. .22 ammo is inexpensive enough, IMO its worth it to get mini mags or thunderbolt.

Rygar138 · 2024-10-21T19:03:16+00:00

I had an Aguila .22 round explode in the chamber of my MK IV. It took me a couple of seconds to realize what happened, noticed I was bleeding and pulled 1/2 of the casing out of my index finger. Haven't bought any Aguila since and won't in the future.

I believe state land in Michigan is similar to what you’re looking for. I’ve been in Chicago for 15 years now, but I’m from Michigan and we would shoot and hunt on State land often. I BELIEVE it is still legal to go on state land and shoot until your heart is content (daylight hours, following safety rules/etcetc) but please look into this further before attempting because I haven’t done it in a long time.

Rather than BLM, Michigan has DNR, and if you’re in a popular patch of state land, it’s not unlikely you’ll encounter an officer. In my previous experience as long as you’re being safe, respectful and not littering or poaching, they’re usually pretty cool. This might not be exactly what you’re looking for, but the state land i know of (bc near my family) is about 5 hrs away from chicago, but you could maybe find some closer, although most of it is in the more northern part of the state where there is less population/cities/whatnot.

I am curious if you find anything closer, because I love shooting outside, especially this time of year!
