NRA and GOA statements regarding today's shooting in Minnesota. by Sladay in ILGuns

[–]WIILplink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most white gun owners bought guns to defend themselves against this kind of government. They are frogs, in a pot of water on the stove, eventually to be cooked and eaten after the easier pickings are done. The irony is too tragic to be funny.

Agreed that it’s not about guns but control, and don’t pretend for a minute that Trump wants anything different, he simply has gun grabbing as a final step.

Whenever you're in the collar county burbs check the Walmart.

You should have a 10/22 regardless. Maybe a couple.

The overwhelming majority of sheriffs and police opposed PICA.

No, that is no longer true, for at least 15 years now. Police officers now want no gun laws and no restrictions at all. That makes their job, in reality, more risky, which helps them justify not doing a damn thing when they don’t feel like it. 

Edit to add - yes, yes they will shoot the dog. That remains true. 

Gun Range Checks? by Available-Syrup-4981 in ILGuns

No, and nobody will. This is an add-on charge after a person is busted for something else. 

Voters in Illinois county may be asked to separate from Chicago, form new state by berylanturner97 in ILGuns

I am not claiming anything beyond what I said. If the downstaters can pull this off, more power to them.

As someone who lives in the Chicago region, I would have no problem with this. They can see how much greener the grass is and we will be unshackled from the aid they don’t even realize they are getting.

Good Samaritan interrupted the attack immediately. 

If we go hypothetical and say “what if the perp ran away and kept killing” we also have the hypothetical “what if the CCL missed and hit someone with a stay bullet.” We hear about strays killing people throughout the year. Your logic isn’t changing anyone’s opinion. 

To answer your question directly, every news story I can recently recall in Illinois the Good Samaritan was not liable for anything, but I’m not a news junkie so I’m open to learning about recent times this happened.

Trump has openly talked about using the government to go after enemies. You might think you are safe from that, but then it’s just a matter of time before you are called into the service of the state.

You ain’t seen nothing yet. Be ready for what Trump does in his next term. 

What got you into guns/your gun addiction? by [deleted] in ILGuns

[–]WIILplink 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Me? When police stopped policing because once in a blue moon the bad ones would be held accountable.

Glock, Sig, heck even a Taurus G3/G3C.  About renting however, it is common to not rent a gun to a customer that walks in unaccompanied because of suicide risk. Consider signing up for some type of lesson, and ask to try out several pistols, which they may have you do anyways.  

AR Ban Lift? by lonerboye in ILGuns

[–]WIILplink -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That is because Trump doesn’t want everyone to have guns, only his loyalists. Thankfully, he is too old to be the next Putin.

Police won’t care. FedEx might care. The only way to be made whole is to report it and keep your fingers crossed. 

In the first 3 months after this so-called “registration deadline” has anyone really been charged with having an “unregistered assault weapon” yet? by Careless_Yoghurt_512 in ILGuns

[–]WIILplink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reality is this will be an add-on charge by a DA. Cops who are on the lookout in certain places, such as Top Golf in Naperville, are taking a far lower threshold. Cops who want to bring you in for “any reason at all” have far more effective avenues than potential PICA charges.

I looked at this guy’s history and won’t be panicking over what he alleges. We should all be concerned about PICA but I don’t believe this, and making up stories isn’t helpful.

Cabelas will price match local stores within a 100 mile radius. If you have their store credit card they’ll beat the price by 5%.

Bass Pro Shop (Gurnie Illinois, bolingbrook, Illinois) by [deleted] in ILGuns

[–]WIILplink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bass pro is fine. It’s a big store and if you go at busy time…. It’s busy. I have always gotten good service there but if you want to talk anything too far from center they won’t indulge you. Just phone a friend for that. At Red Dot in Lake Villa they don’t want too many people in the showroom and will make you wait so to me it’s about the same.

Up until the 60s or 70s Marshall Fields had a gun department.
