Yeah, but then it would've just been a few "yes" replies and that's it and then CiJ wouldn't currently be suicidal. I stand by my decision.



Ive got kids now

Dick.

:lol:

Even if you didn't have a family I would not actually want you to be suicidal.

Imu... question in order to make this interesting (at least to me)
Do you have any experience with firearms?

Little. As a kid. My dad was an avid hunter, and still shoots out in the far western suburbs. I've never held a FOID card though. It has been a good 10+ years for me easy.

$10 for a FOID card? That needs to be more expensive.

You should be charged $10 every time you exercise your right to free speech.

Firearms are efficient, but I agree with the principle of "shall not be infringed".

Raising prices on ammunition and FOIDs are asinine. The FOID wouldn't hold up to SCOTUS scrutiny either.

It's true, I've met them before ... and, they're white.

So he's got that going for him, which is nice.

If anyone is interested in somewhat old-timey radio (1956), this episode of X Minus One featuring the story A Gun for Dinosaur, written by L. Sprague de Camp, is pretty good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1UMPPWbCrU

Some downstate rep is pushing to get rid of it. It's kinda redundant with nics background check.

If that passes then good on that rep. The FOID is just more bloat spending. The ISP should be doing actual police work and not being a clearing house for administrative paperwork.

That's pretty efficient


Roughly two out of every three homicides in this country are committed with a firearm. I would say that they are pretty efficient.

To further the point, yes they are very effective, and that is precisely why you should own one. That of course comes with the hope that you will never have to use it but the preparedness that you would be able to should the need arise.
