Yep, all is proceeding as John Boch has foreseen. So far, anyway. The latest iteration of a concealed carry bill in the Land of Lincoln, one designed by Speaker Madigan to split the baby between Chicago and downstate interests, passed today with an overwhelming majority in the House. It only needed 71 votes but drew 85. As John points out, the “historic” bill was opposed by Mayor Rahm and Governor Sockpuppet Quinn, which seems to be a good indication it will be, on balance, something RKBAers can live with, if not love. For now. Next up: the Senate, a probable veto and override votes. Watch this space.
I already KEEP a sword under my bed. It’s been there ever since the night we moved in and my wife felt “uneasy” with how quiet it was in the new house. Then again, I’m probably one of very few people out there who’s spent more actual time in formal training with a sword than a gun.
I’m excited?
I can actually confirm the reliability of this gun. My lgs has one on their rental counter as well, and just like the store you mentioned, it has never had an issue. It goes out for rental a few times a day, and keeps going. The employees of the store were shocked. Then they started recomending them to customers.
What’s that famous military or combat saying…”all personal defense cals. should start with a 4.” Just saying..
Last week, I received my Filipino inspired Barong Machete from Condor. Its semi-leaf shaped 14″ blade can chop, slash, and thrust into wood, vegetation, or something more dangerous. The knife is full-tang, made from 1075 steel, and starts out at 3/16th of an inch think. The Barong cost $38 Amazon.
We ain’t done yet. What’s the chance there will actually be a law passed come June 9? Over the cliff we go.
This is Illinois. Even a baby step is one giant leap for mankind.
Definitely not a pistol. RF needs to back off and think these through, or he’s going to damage this site’s reputation. The Truth About Guns, not Rapid Misidentification Of Guns In A Manner Worthy of ABC
Quinn will prolly pull some BS and and veto it and try to introduce a gun ban again imho…
Madigan has told everyone that this is the bill and that it WILL pass. Do you think Quinn will man up or quail? I think he’ll fold. Rahm is a power–but so is Madigan. And Quinn has to deal with Madigan everyday, Rahm not so much.
Whether a DRACO or underfolder AK the strippers on the discharge side of it are never gonna forget that sound. In a weird way maybe this incident turned some lives around.
Being both pro-gun and pro-gay rights, this ad made me laugh for several straight minutes. Going to share this with some pro-gay anti-gun rights people I know… They’re normally fairly reasonable, this might even turn on a few lightbulbs!
P.S. I’ve never actually argued the position, so I don’t know if they’re casual “well I heard guns were bad” people, or dyed in the wool kool-aid drinkers.
A-ha. Red laser is $139, green is $199. Still, seems pretty cool.
Is there clearance to allow installing a cut down charging handle? A great use of of an RP machine to make a poly mockup.
I am curios if Zimmy gets off, how the riots will compare to the Rodney King riots…
Keep your rifles loaded, Floridians.
The parents haven’t said no once to any public appearance while George has been in hiding. They have salted the news with child pictures of their thug son to swing public opinion while assaulting GZ’s character. Tough toenails kids, GZ’s lawyers now have their chances to rebuff these activities. How does the Trayvon parents get to interview the Dee Dee witness without letting the Prosecution doing it themselves? This thing stinks.
Part of the testing for the new pants for the dress uniforms.
I thought Starbucks would get a pass. They’re pro-gay ‘marriage’. I’m not, but it’s their right to have an opinion I disagree with. Besides, I can carry when I buy my coffee. I can exercise my rights.. BTW, didn’t those brit muslims that hacked that guy apart have a gun on them? I believe that’s not legal in the once great-now-not-so-much Britain. This woman is just another lefty who doesn’t believe in Liberty.
Thankfully, we still have 15 round limit.
It is a shame that the dog owners weren’t given a few rounds themselves.
