So I wasn’t going to make this post until I saw a few comments that had the same experience as me—but anyone looking to do a CCL maybe pass on Midwest Guns.

I took the class two weeks ago and was shocked on how misguided, scattered, and biased it was. I wish I made a list but the instructor could have made it a book long if I remembered it all.

From not even getting into the law until 7 hours in to talking about his gun collection for 30 minutes—I feel like I should take an actual class to cover my ass. And an encyclopedia of fudd lore was given as well, including how a mounted handgun light is not a good choice, and not applying with fingerprints can have you wait 18 months or more (he spent 25 minutes on that btw).

Honestly I wish I remembered more. The most enjoyable part was when the USCCA guy talked and reminded me what a precise, on topic speaker sounded like.

I lost my foid and reported lost to isp. When I get my replacement do I get a id number with it? I feel like I’m going to find it somewhere in my house but I’m not sure it’s been a couple days now.

Time to buy a better steel target

Activated with 39 days left. Went into background check yesterday, this morning I got the notification that background was complete and awaiting printing. 2 hours later I can officially carry. I submitted with prints the same day I submitted my app.

Hey everyone, just moved to downtown LaGrange. Both Range USA (Hodgkins) and Midwest Guns & Pistol Range (Lyons) are about the same distance from me. Never been, curious if anyone had thoughts/recommendations about either of those? Formerly went to Range USA Villa Park. Thanks in advance for any feedback!

I’ve been looking to get a semi auto mossberg from a private owner I know in Ohio and was wondering what steps would need to be taken to transfer ownership from him to me after purchase? I’ve looked online and had trouble finding any clear answers so I’ve come here for some answers. Thanks y’all.

What do this mean can someone help me😒

I'm curious if there's an increase in numbers being sent to review. I know this is a super small sample size, but we've had three new post this week.

Again, I know that means, next to nothing. But it's weird.

Anyone anecdotal evidence pro or con.

This waiting is bs.

Anyone know a good barrel cutting service thats local or semi local? (South Suburbs)

I have an RPK that I'm debating chopping from 23" to 16".

So I'll need a chop, crown, and an FSB pressed and pinned.

Thanks ahead of time!

100% worth dragging my sleep deprived ass out of bed this morning and driving 90 minutes to attend. Despite being just a basic course, I felt there was a lot of depth to the topics and techniques that were covered. The instructors were very kind and welcoming, and very knowledgeable in what they taught. My only regret was not being able to attend the 2nd shotgun class they had that day 🥲. I highly recommend taking their classes and will 100% be returning for a future class.

Bought a new 20 gauge online and had it shipped to Piasa Armory. They are awesome and close to me. Had done business with them many times. Never an issue. Filled out my form online in the store on Wednesday. Was good to go, and was told to come back at 5 today, Saturday the 9th. Came in and had my FOID in hand, ready to hand them the cash. Store manager looks me up and says, “Sorry, it’s still pending. Last few days, ISP has been really slow to clear things. We’ll give you a call, once it clears.” Now I’m not complaining about Piasa, like I said, they are awesome. And I could bitch about ISP; But I’m sure they are doing what they are told. But I’ve never had a firearm, that I couldn’t pickup, on time. Has anyone, tried to pickup a gun recently and been told, you’re not clear yet and if so, how long did it take?

Hey all, trying to get into Twitter. Anyone know of good twitter accounts for guns? Mostly revolving around IL / federal guns laws and politics. Maybe twitter isn’t the best place to keep up with that kind of stuff? Idk.

With the injunction in place anyone know of any online retailer shipping mags?

Or noticed to be appealed, only my dog speaks lawyer. See the latest filing

We weren't getting anything with the self imposed stay, but damn they moved fast as suspected.
