Thanks for the FB info Frank, I sent them an e-mail to get on the list!
I guess I'll forgive Jimmy for not thinking to sign me up as letting me run 12 rounds through his S&W got me re-involved in this hobby...

I here you George, but it's going to happen now that it passed with flying colors in both the Senate and House yesteday.
BUT, how long until we actually have our cards, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year?
Obviously, the sooner you sign up for the IL CCW class the sooner you will get it!
Not time to crack the Champagne open yet, but soon I will have it waiting on ice.

Bob (Quicksilver),
You better start hitting the range and practice, b/c under the new bill you are not allowed to miss 70% or more of your shots, from 5, 7 and 10 yards away.
All in good fun (you know that) my friend.

Bob, you truly did help our cause!
This thread opened March, 2011 with:
"Please help our cause!
A downstate Democrat has posted an online petition for people to sign in support of making concealed carry legal in Illinois."
There is always more to do, but Bob persevered with facts and timely information bringing us to this point.
Relentlessly, and with true America spirit, Bob accomplished the mission.
Thank you, Bob.

Cause most of my range work is at 50, 100 & 200 yards! 
Thanks for the kind words Peter but I am simply the messenger, this has been a real team effort.
As always, thanks to the mods for letting this train continue to roll!

There you go again, Bob, as I suspected you would.
Nothing good happens without true leadership.
We all agree that teamwork brought us to this point.
Bob, you just demonstrated again that you are a leader -- and have been the leader in this arena.

Spoke to them today after shooting. They're saying it can be 6 months before everything is ready to go with CCW classes.
They also close tomorrow for a complete make over of the pistol range
The pistol range is closed two weeks.
Bought decent 9mm for 17.99 a box.

That's good news. I was there on Friday and was very disappointed when I was directed to the old, run down pistol ranges, as I expected that they have been remodeled already.

I was at Gats today from 1:30 until 3:30 pm, on the second floor most the time, looking at optics and shoulder holster for my 1911 .45 pistols, for when I am out in the fall and winter with a jacket (for carry conceal)..
What time were you there, I though you might be there today, as it would not be the first time I ran into you there or Quicksilver Bob before.
I was told by a Manager they are hoping that there first class will start in July and they are thinking of renting a banquet hall to get large numbers of people through the class.
By the state is done dragging their azz though, I wouldn't be surprised if it took 6 months to get our permits.I bought 400 rounds of the cheap steel case Tulano 9 mm ammo for $14.99. For shooting paper with some of my more rugged inexpensive gunes, I don't mind running cheap ammo through them every now and then. I also picked up 200 rds of 10mm ammo for my compact Glock 29, which is an awesome carry/conceal hand cannon.
What 9 mm ammo was that decent price of $17.99? That was not there when I was shoping for ammo between 1:30 and 3:30 pm. Glad they are modernizing their pistol range as Pfrank and I were just talking how they needed to do that.

The guys I talked to were behind the rifle range counter. Hopefully they're wrong with the timeline they offered me. With a lot of this CCW defaulting to State Police who can't process a FOID in the timeframe they're supposed to....who knows.
The new pistol range should be pretty good if it turns out like the rifle range. I'm going there next couple of weeks to shoot rifle until the pistol range opens back up.
