We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :)
Please help by posting all issues here.
The forum will be down for about an hour this weekend for maintenance. I apologize for the inconvenience.
Illinois has an exemption to their UUW law for open carry when "hunting, trapping, or fishing" just like anti open carry Florida.
This case is making inroads.

I'm guessing the total number of people shot and killed in Rahm's gun free paradise of Chicago this weekend will be 104 shot and 21 killed.
I'm also guessing this won't make the national news as Chicago already has all of the oppressive gun control laws that the anti's want to inflict on the...
They ( the NRA and ISRA ) have not learned that begging the anti's for concealed carry as a privilege works better if Open Carry is a right.
I commented on a post over at GSL. Here is a link to the article:

Greed! The concealed carry...
Illinois doesn't have open carry. We won't see the first concealed carry licenses until April of 2014 at the earliest. So all we have is what we call here "Container Transport".
A "feature" on the Bersa 380 Thunder may make this little cheap gun the best choice for this limited form of having...
Many of us have tried different pistols and revolvers for our perfect carry piece. I have finally found one that fits concealed carry, open carry, any carry and it's comfortable. It also has the stopping power that I like, and it fits my hand perfectly. Its a Smith & Wesson 329 PD Air-Lite...
During the recent fight for a CC only law in Illinois I found myself being banned from the main CC website in Illinois for bringing up the topics of OC and "Container Transport". I don't understand the utter hatred of even seeing the words Open Carry from those that want CC only. Then closer to...
Container Transport is the ONLY legal option for Illinois residents to have a firearm with you in this state. I have a Maxpedition Versipack to keep all my items in, and am getting used to having everything I need with me all the time. I am just curious who else it taking advantage of the new...
Illinois passes a law ( chicago's law) for concealed carry ( Ha! ) and other things. The law gives the transportation of all firearms and the regulation of all handguns exclusively to the state. Chicago doesn't care. They pass their own law regulating magazine size. They really don't care about...
An app to geo-locate "dangerous guns and gun owners". This app allows anyone to mark addresses of "potential dangerous gun owners" through crowd-sourcing. I smell Bloomberg funding.

I am from Illinois, but I had to post here when I saw this news clip posted on Facebook from a friend in Colorado:

Some counties see Governor Jello's games with the concealed carry bill for what they are and are taking their own action. Link to what Madison County is doing.

In case you live in Madison County, here is...
There is a "safe pass through" provision in HB 183 that allows people from other states that can legally carry ( with a permit or not ) to keep a loaded firearm in their car while in Illinois. Illinois residents with non resident permits however CAN NOT have a loaded gun in their vehicle without...
The anti's in Illinois aren't giving up.
We can expect another try at the Magazine / Assault Weapons ban after Easter recess.
I have been noticing a new phrase in the anti's lexicon. They have recently changed from "assault weapon" to " assault style weapon ". I don't know why, except a rifle...
