I find those statistics highly questionable.
I took it upon myself to look at the latest available Bureau of Justice Statistics (part of DOJ) publicly available crime statistics and while there is a discrepancy between the frequency of violent crime victims between males and females...
You don't even have to mail it. If you are in IL, you can meet him at an FFL to do a legal transfer. He, of course, must have a FOID.
Alternatively, just mail it to a predetermined FFL who will expect the transfer, and have him pick it up there and do the 4473/NICS.
I can absolutely vouch that...
Let her read news stories about home invasions.
Just google:
"home invasion"
"intruder"
"burglary murder"
Any day of any week of any month/year will yield PLENTY of examples of why you should be cautious when it comes to a possible home invasion.
Also a good teaching tool is looking at the...
My experience with the Bloomington PD has generally been positive. I can't complain much at all as they are tremendously better than the PD in the large city I used to live in (which shall remain unnamed, but you are all aware of it's problems).
I think that something ALL police officers could...
Actually his post was pretty accurate.
Everyone should be forewarned that there are a $#!^TON of minutae in this bill. It is 168 pages long and very complicated. There are some real freedoms and progress in the bill POSSIBLY, but also a lot of clear pitfalls. A considerable amount of case law...
I would suggest instead:
Bersa Thunder CC
or
Sig P238 with Hogue grip and mag extension (some versions come w/ these as factory standard)
My biggest qualms with Beretta are high cost and weak warranty length. A used CZ obviously comes with no warranty, OTOH, but with a super low entry cost...
Welcome to Capitalism.
If that's the way they want to run their business, that's their business. It doesn't get any simpler than that.
It's basically the same as "Buy a gun and you get the option of buying ammo for it, guaranteed."
A lot of people sell their Glock to simply get a different size or caliber.
I would say that's pretty common with the other common "duty" type guns as well (Sigs, M&P's, etc.).
If you don't like the grip on the old frames, you can upgrade the frame of any glock under their warranty. It's only $100 and keeps you in warranty. Plus you get all of the advantages of the newest frame (finger grooves, adjustable grip thicknesses, beavertail add-on, stippling/RTF, reversable...
I think he may have a chance to get off on appeal, but dang... why chance it by not just putting the guns in a locked case as stipulated by the get-out-of-jail-free federal law? No state court can argue that federal law doesn't trump state law.
Yeah, I've been hearing about this "miraculous" decrease in murders and violent crime in Chicago over the last 6 months.
Doesn't surprise me that the Chi-machine would try something like this.
I'm sure a fair amount of the rest of the difference can be attributed to the fact that it got warm...
