Thanks Bob, when are you going to take your classes?

Seems like GATS where PFrank went would make the most sense for you, based on location, seems very organized and fair price.

#3!

3rd Worst-Run State: Illinois
Debt per capita: $5,041 (11th highest)

Budget deficit: 18.5% (9th largest)

Unemployment: 8.9% (10th highest)

Median household income: $55,137 (16th highest)

Pct. below poverty line: 14.7% (tied-24th lowest)

Illinois has the worst credit rating in the U.S., having received the lowest rating of any state from both Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s. Explaining its reasoning, Moody’s pointed to the state’s underfunded pension and ongoing weak fiscal practices such as bill payment delays. Only 40.4% of the state’s pension obligations were funded in 2012, the worst rate in the nation. Illinois also had the fourth-largest debt in the country at the end of fiscal 2011 at nearly $65 billion. The state faced high foreclosure and unemployment rates in 2012, both among the worst in the country.

The United States ranks 3rd in Murders throughout the World. But if you take out Chicago , Detroit , Washington DC and New Orleans, the United States is 4th from the Bottom for Murders

These 4 Cities also have the toughest Gun Control Laws in the United States. All 4 are also controlled by Democrats

Great CCW weapon, I have owned mine for 1.5 years now. Great decision, definitely the best very compact 9mm on the market for CCW in a pistol that thin, small and lite weight.

I am 6-4" and 280lbs, I conceal carry my 38 super, lol, this will be a nice addition. Gander Mtn had $50 off so retail back to where it was when you bought yours!

Love watching this thread, even though most of the stupid $hit we have to deal with in IL jacks my blood pressure. Keep the links coming, if I didn't read about half of them I would never believe the stupidity the state leadership proposes or enforces.

2nd Amendment not just for guns

http://www.wnd.com/2013/11/2nd-amend...just-for-guns/

Gun violence down this year because the summer was no where as hot as the year prior, has zero correlation to anything the politicians are trying to take credit for. Common sense, I use to be a LEO, add heat & IL humidity, ghetto housing no a/c thus can't sleep, add alcohol (got to cool down somehow) with no patience because no sleep, game on, shoot your homie for touching the fan blowing on you.
