Happy to live in a free state

It's kind of like when you get to feeling down, and you think your life sux, so you watch jerry springer to put the world in perspective. Well, here it is. The gun world's Jerry springer. And remember, this isn't anything to do with there ccl. It's the card they have to have just to own/possess a firearm.

Yep. I read ANYTHING about Illinois and remember how great Indiana is.

It says it takes 2 1/2 years to get a hearing if a foid card is denied. If I lived there, I would have moved a long time ago. My wife came from there. We got together and I told her that she should get a foid card. It turns out to be a lot more hastle then our ltch. it was a lot easier to move her here, marry her, and get her fixed up with a ltch then to stay there.

I hear all the time how people complain just about everything, I talk to a lot of people and try to put into perspective how good we have it here (you are able to protect yourself and your family without a big hassle). Obtaining your carry permit is very simple and just the shear fact that we can carry is a great option.

I feel bad for all of those that live outside of Chicago having live by laws that Chicago pushes through. The rest of the state is much like indiana, but with the population center being Chicago, they have no chance of swaying the vote.

Very true We have to vote next week to keep it that way !!!!!!!!!!

Glad to be out of that sick workers paradise. A few folks asked why if I moved to IN that I went to NWI. Good point, as it looks like NWI votes about two thirds Dem. Still better than IL though.

No state is perfect...but I came out of Illinois to Indiana in '89 and I will never look back.

I spent 24 years in Springfield, Illinois. Part of that state is very nice. Great hunting and fishing. But, and its a huge but, the laws, policies and the state government are a true horror story. Basically Cook and Lake counties are populous enough to carry the vote. Most of the state south of I-80 is pretty good. It would be a much better state if that big city up north fell off into the lake. I am really glad to be back home in central Indiana.

I was born in the Peoples' Republic of Illinois but moved to Indiana when I was about 8, thank God. But I find it disturbing so many Hoosiers are content with the instrument of infringement known as the Indiana License to Carry Handgun.

Repeat after me: "I should NOT have to pay a tax for permission slip to exercise a Constitutional right... I should NOT have to pay a tax for permission slip to exercise a Constitutional right... I should NOT have to pay a tax for permission slip to exercise a Constitutional right..."

I refuse to go to IL or spend any money on any company that is in IL, even if they do events in IN.

I agree with you about been a constitutional right and I'm not happy about having to pay for my license, what do you suggest that should do (carry without a license). I know is up to us to fight for was right I just don't know anybody doing anything to fight this!

I did my three years in Chicago but I got out with good behavior.

I really do love this state it has a lot to offer. As for Illinois it's a tragedy that it's controlled by cook and lake county. Its such a nice state with great people outside of Chicagoland. I could do without the winter in either state though.

Winter is fine, it kills bugs and disease. Nature's bleach.

 

[Sniper 79]

I got out almost three years ago to NW Indiana. Love it here and will never go back.
