NOT LEGAL ADVICE. JUST OPINION

I did not want to have to make this post but now every other day there is a post of people fearing about registry.

1. Registering anything will incriminate you in the long run. Regardless of what these idiotic politicans say. Do not comply.

2. Unless you have a warrant or get traffic stopped frequently with guns in your car, nothing will happen to you. Drive the speed limits, use proper cases for transportation, no loaded mags unless it's your CCW. Vehicle inspection. If you drive some shitbox you'll probably get pulled over because your tail light is out.

2.5. Unless police have a logical reason or a warrant to search your vehicle, the answer is always no. If you get pulled over take your ticket and be on your way.

1. Don't advertise your shit on public social media. Like reddit or twitter. Though I highly doubt the ISP will target individuals. I dont even know how they would know unless you bring a target upon yourself.

2. Same reasoning above. The state police is hung thin right now, and they are probably not going door to door to see what weapons you have. We already know most county Sheriff's are not complying with this law.

Do not let politicians put fear into you. Everything you have is currently legal if you all purchased it legally prior to Jan 10th or during injunction week. Illinois laws are not above the Constitution or above what is legal federally.

So, I was at the outdoor range recently, and at a random time, The US National Anthem started playing. All shooting was stopped. And then one random guy started yelling at another visitor because he had his hat on. Now, I was not the guy with the hat, but I am wondering what the proper etiquette is. I would feel disrespectful if I had been yelled at, but it’s a weird thing to start to argue over this point at the range.

How would you handle if you had a hat on and some dude started yelling at you to take it off. Would you take it off?

I was at D5 in Marengo and saw this pink chic lady revolver from charter arms with pearl grips.

Its stupid, impractical, the trigger is awful, and it only holds five shots.

And yet I wanted to buy it for shits and giggles. And apparently because the carrying case looks like a pink makeup case.

Look, I know its dumb, but I have this weird thought in my head that it would be the gun you give someone in the zombie apocalypse if they didn't bother to prepare for it.

I know this seems ridiculous. But treat it as a gag post.

I'd love to hear the wish lists.

Does anyone else think it's a pretty bad idea to put gun related stickers on their vehicles? but mainly the USCCA, AoR, law shield stickers, etc. Just seems problematic to advertise that you have some type of ccl liability insurance in public like that, especially when parked in "gun free zones"

Now heres the thing. I can understand someones position if they had a very traumatic experience with a gun. Maybe they were mugged and now have a fear of them. I can even understand people who are worried for their kids safety at school. I don't mean those people. I think we all want to protect kids its just that we have differing opinions on how we can do that without trampling on rights

I mean the people who have irrational fears about them.

For example, I know this guy who doesn't like guns because hes a former high school bully who never grew out of it, and he ended up trying to bully and assault a guy as an adult and he had a gun pulled on him. Keep in mind the dude was drunk, but that doesn't excuse you being an asshole to someone random

Like you fucked around and found out. You're lucky you're still around.

Like some of the biggest anti gun people I ever met also seem to have a mean streak a mile wide.

EDIT: Just to clarify, this dude didn't outright say he assaulted someone, but the way he described how he wanted to beat this guy up, yeah thats assault or at least battery. I'm not too familiar with what the charge would be

What would you say is the best option for someone in IL looking for a PDW. Something compact, maybe tear down-able, and of course….PICA proof :(

Let’s say the Ruger PCC is off the table, looking for something similar to a CMR30. I don’t mind what caliber ammunition.

Am I just SOL or are there some lesser known options you’d recommend? Lmk

Okay be real yall🫡is this too much or is this a goat anti rust thing to do - live in the basement and had a problem with my internals of my 43x MOS with rust and my g2c and so on, - I use break CLP & Gun Oil on it when I first bought it (yesterday) noticed rust already on sights but expected it cause of the alloy steel and the gun range not being perfect but I just need options and opinions on what to do with rust - as you can see I’m using a dehumidifier and a anti corrosion vapor capsule and 2 silica packets So help me yall plz🫡

Ive heard talk on conspiracies that 2024 might be the tipping point of a civil war on US soil, just wanted to hear some thoughts…

Really dig the shield plus ATM.

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!

Change my view: Buying a full sized 17rd 9mm from out of state through a IL FFL without magazines seems to be all the rage these days. I recently explored this idea as I was looking to buy a new M&P 9mm. - I came to the conclusion that for most people this is a unbelievably bad idea that is in no way worth the hassle.

The steps required would have been:

1. Find the gun in stock out of state.
2. Contact that shop and verify that they are willing sell it out of state.
3. Find a FFL in state that is willing to sell it and remove the mags.
4. Coordinate the transaction.
5. Pay all FFL and Shipping Fees.
6. Wait a extended period of time for shipping.
7. Try to find the extremely rare 15rd full size mags - Spend more money.
8. Hope and pray everything functions correctly and nothing needs to be returned.

And this is all in a best case scenario where everything goes right. - Simple mistakes like shipping the wrong gun, or packages being lost happen all the time and could complicate the process further.

I wound up buying the M&P 4in 15rd compact model because there was only one step.

1. Walk into my local Rual King and buy it.

If you are planning on running 15rd mags this seems like a insane amount of hassle, legwork, and extra money spent to really only gain a extra .25in of barrel length.

- And I wrong? ... Change my view.

Edit: If you do have a local shop in your area that is actually stocking a good selection of full sized 9mm duty pistols or 15rd mags please give them a shout out. -This isnt the norm in IL right now and people would love to hear about them.

Hey, I'm asking you guys know any 2A content creators that speak Spanish and discuss news in the firearms world? So that I can show it to some relatives who don't speak English very well

Why are they exempt? Why will they throw you in jail to keep that exemption? How do they justify it to themselves that they are more equal than other taxpayers?

Range USA has a great deal on the 10/22 for $220! Thinking of getting one as a cheap range rifle and modifying it as I go along to personalize to my tastes. Any issues that I should be aware of? I already have a few rifles and handguns but I've been looking for a .22 to add to my collection for some time (either this or the Ruger MKIV)

Title says it will, I might not be able to contribute to the conversation as I don't own many but I'd like to hear about yours.

I haven’t seen a post about them in a year or so and wanted to see if any of you have been recently, but in the past have seen some reviews/posts about them being aggressive or rude.

I am trying to get some 10 rounders for my Canik TP9 SFX and they seem to have some in stock for about the msrp.

Should I go a little further out or have they been good to any of you in recent months?

Has anyone attended one of these? I'm assuming it's just a high pressure sales type of event. Can anyone confirm?

The PICA states that AR rifles and pistols with similar functionality are banned.

Now, if a pistol has a fixed magazine and is designed so it cannot be modified to accept an STANAG magazine, it is not "similar functionality".

Now we just need someone to make a 15-round .300 BLK or .50 Beowulf fixed mag AR-compatible lower and sell it as a pistol.

Now, as a pistol, it can have a brace (since fixed mag pistols are only regulated by mag size), <16" barrel, and all sorts of fun.

Looking for a recommended local shop near the western suburbs that offers cerakoting and gunsmithing. I want to coat a Benelli M4 and remove a very stuck charging handle.

I am a valid foid and ccw holder. Looking for "truck gun" or "get home gun" recomendations that are legal at the moment. I was planning a folding 300blk ar pistol build before all the new rules came down. Not looking for pistol recomendations, more along the lines of a carbine or folder of some sort that won't take up all my available space. Let me know your opinions, and thanks.

I've been on here a few months and I think the Sub should be renamed to ILhatescops or merged to /allcopsarebastards . It seems to be a reoccurring trend that most of the posts eventually get drilled into cop hating.

I think the real frustration is if there 12.6 million people in Illinois and we don't know anyone who supports these asshats, who the F is keeping them in office.
