+1 (Excuse us while we vent Tess)

The sheeple of Chicago will think twice when TSHTF or simply die once. It would be a lot safer in the 'seamy' neighborhoods if the hoodlums with guns knew it was possible that Joe Citizen also had a gun. Truly a victim disarmament zone of mass proportions.

Don't know why they wrote all that diatribe (hubris?) as they essentially gave all judgement as to what constitutes a weapon of offense to the cops. We know the result.

Just one more reason to run a wide berth around Cook county and the state if you can. Bunch of damn morons. Where's Mrs. O'Leary's cow when you need it?

Venting is fine. We all do it.

You've very successfully vented, as have many others, without resorting to pottymouth.

I hope you are talking about the proposed law and not the comments :shock:

I have 2 friends who are "legally blind" as far as the DMV is concerned because of congenital optical issues that restrict or eliminate periferal vision. However, both of them have been shooting with me and they can focus straight ahead just fine to hit a target at 7 yards, the CCW qualifying distance in MO. Both are single women, one living alone in IL and the other raising her 5 children alone since her husband decided drugs and alcohol are more important than her family.

I noted this part in the OP but didn't comment as I was too angry to say anything appropriate. Thanks for brining up this issue.

That annual registration fee ought to earn them a ton of money, too, if it does remain on the books:

Sec. 58-141.5. Renewal of registration.

(a) Every registrant must renew his registration certificate annually. Applications for renewal shall be made by such registrants 60 days prior to the expiration of the current registration certificate.

(b) The application for renewal shall include the payment of a renewal fee as follows:

1 firearm . . . $20.00
2--10 firearms . . . $25.00
More than ten firearms . . . $35.00

(c) Failure to comply with the requirement for renewal of registration of a firearm shall cause that firearm to become unregisterable.

Thanks for the initial post - I spread it around to get as many people as possible involved. If everyone else could do the same at all the forums YOU hang out at, we might be able to get some momentum going on it. Pete

Nah, if I need comments to induce vomiting, I go to the "True Tales of Self-Defense" forum...

I also wonder if the fees are per gun. That is, do you get charged a higher "bulk rate" as a punishment for owning more guns? Or is it just one fee for all the guns?

I think it's one set fee. Not per gun. Not sure, I'll go ask my dad, he's a cook county cop (lansing). prolly the only good cop I truely know.
