Illinois is not that bad if you live down state M8 we have everything other states have except FA and suppressors.

>>33523583

Enjoy being de-dogged when the ATF comes to your door to "check" on you

Boating accident, I only have this Hi-Point now.

>>33523863
If you don't live within maybe sixty miles of Chicago they're going to be mighty skeptical of a boating trip. Illinois has made a lot of progress on gun rights but we're still pretty bad. Day of the Madigan when?

Bigger question. Where the hell are there shooting competitions in near the Chicagoland area. 2 gun, IDPA, whatever.

>>33523150
355 isn't so bad. Article 2? Yeah those people are dicks.

>>33523894
Fox River. Went over a water fall. Terrible, all those guns were lost boating to a range. Now I only have a high point.

>>33523090
Point Blank is in the south suburbs, just into Will County.

>>33523411
Doubt it. Everything has to pass by Madigan first.

>tfw mike madigan will never leave office

>>33524011
keep voting for those term limit petitions

>>33523625
it prompts the question as to which states will sell ammo and firearms to an out-of-state adult

should i just go to indiana like i do for cheap gas, cigarettes, and fireworks?

Be me. I can get a medical cannabis card in Illinois.

If I get the card I can calmly be high after work, quit drinking and help my symptoms.

Downside I cant use my FOID card anymore to buy guns.

The state is all messed up.

- Maxon's
- the cool DNR ranges in NWI
- most Chicago alleys
- the entire south and west side of Chicago

>>33524028
term limits are unconstitutional

and mike and lisa arent the problem.

>>33524077
I thought you had to be 3/4 dead to get that in IL

I go to GAT Guns in West Dundee.

Nice facility and the staff is pretty chill. The only downside is their retarded PVC target hangers.

lets get jaked on malort then go shoot niggers in auburn/grescham or back of the yards

>>33524102
fuck off mike

>>33524073
As far as I know that's what we all do. Want to have fun for cheap as an Illinoisan? If you live south of Chicago, go to Indiana. If you live north of Chicago, go to Wisconsin.

>>33524117
Used to be that way, but a few judges fought back and more was added

>>33524126
My friend shot one when she aimed too high. They charged her $3 for it.

>>33523150
I would second this. If you are near chicago just cross the border and hit up pulaski or willow slough.

I'm up in the Gurnee (six flags) area. I go shooting at GTR Sporting Club in Waukegan. Also waiting on my CCW. Been about 40 days so still have a while.

anyone know any stores with milsurp around in northern IL. Ive been to probably almost all of them and none of them stand out

>>33524133
fuck you, bruce. you wont bust the unions so stop trying. you've done less than quinn and thats hard to do.

>>33524387
Gat Guns as mentioned above has a pretty good selection. Got a very nice mauser sporter in 30-06 from there with a nice scope for $250.

Just went shooting for the first time ever at point blank over the weekend with my SKS
R8, h8, masterb8

>>33525526
7 yards?

>>33525526
*masturbates on your face*
tough break, kid; should have gone American

>>33525917
25, as far back as it went. But it was indoors, so I felt limited

>>33523905
Garfield Park

>>33524415
you realize the legislature is supposed to do the "doing", right? the legislature, which the democrats control, is doing jack shit. ruling by executive fiat is a great road to a dictatorship.

>>33524085

Going to DLD this year?

>>33524459

All milsurp I've seen at GAT has been overpriced. Run of the mill Mosins were being sold for $200 back when you could get them for $100. Last I was there they were almost $300 iirc. I did buy a great condition '44 Izhmash ex-sniper for $200 from them though. It was on the rack with the rest of them.

Ammo prices there are shit.

>>33523583
Shitty CCW reciprocity, no NFA at all (including SBR/SBS/AOW).

FOID card bullshit.

Ungodly expensive hunter's ed and hunting licenses, even for residents.

No online ammo purchases.

Most places refuse to sell firearms, ammo, or firearms accessories to non-FOID holders even if they're out of state residents and legal to do so.

>>33526897
I had the opposite experience, Mosin on the rack for 175$ somewhat recently (6ish months ago). I was pretty impressed considering how people are gouging Mosins these days. G98 for 200-250$, can't remember
Ammo prices are shit tho, but I expect that from any gunshop. Not buying online is a mistake these days

>>33526907
Most of these aren't an issue outside of Cook
Chicago doesn't represent Illinois as a whole, thank god

>>33524237
How long is the wait these days?
