Thanks Bob. It's been fun. The move is bitter sweet, but it's time. You can keep Quinn. I'm going to focus my efforts on getting Rick Scott reelected.

Viper got broken out today first time driving her in 4 months. Spring has officially sprung Gentleman with the roads pretty much salt free and 60 degrees and sunny tomorrow. 
Oh yeah, this thread is about firearms, etc.
Took my Viper straight to GAT guns where I shot my brand new Sig. 1911 .45 acp, Nickel Rail Gun. For those into 1911 .45 acp **** check out this new sweet piece which I concealed all day today 100% legally with my IL CCW permit I received 3 weeks ago today. No brainer with a good shoulder holster and jacket!
HERE you go from Sig's website:

What an idiot!! This guy does not deserve the right to own a firearm, and certainly does not deserve the right to carry one in public IF the facts are accurate and he is a loose cannon like this.
The CCW permit comes with a TON of responsibility and legal consequences and this is a perfect example of a guy who should not be able to own and possess a gun (IF THE FACTS ARE ACCURATAE), b/c one is innocent until proven guilty in this great Country of ours.

My denial popped up yesterday on the website. The guy did the NRA Basic Pistol portion of the class online, and we did our 8 hours for concealed carry II in person at Bass Pro Shops in Bolingbrook and Article 2 for the shooting portion. I kind of think the State is being a little picky on this one, but what I think won't matter on this. I'm going to retake the class in the next few weeks and "appeal" my denial at that point. Not going to let it get me too worked up.

I'm wondering about the people in the classes who complained to the state that they didn't receive enough training. It's like the kid in school who reminded the teacher at the end of class that she forgot to assign homework.
