When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out for me.

When they took Illinois guns I was glad I lived in Texas. When they come for the Texans guns--who will be left?

I am assuming you want semi auto. I have a colt 1911 in stock form, a beretta px4 storm in stock form, and a springfield xd service with trigger work and tritium sights. The beretta and xd are both in 40 S&W, out of all my guns the XD is my favorite, I have well over 2000 rounds through it without a FTF, it is very accurate and easy to take down clean and put back together. It has a lifetime warranty, and I got the trigger work done through springfield, so the trigger work also has a lifetime warranty. The PX4 is nice, but it just doesn't shoot as well as my XD, and the 1911 is just a military 1911 so its not very accurate.

Hlly crap dude. I'd simply pack up my stuff and move to TX if my state took away my rights like yours did. Truth be told, PA already is a blue state, so It's just a matter of time until our rights get taken away one by one.

You need an ID card to buy ammo in IL? I can't believe you guys let that law get passed. There would be blood in the streets in GA if our legislature tried that !

Wow i thought eveybody knew about our laws....

This is probably why it is the way it is.

I guess they just voted AGAIN for the concealed weapons on the 11 and it got turned down again.... sucks

ID plus be 18 to buy ammo

ID/18 to purchase long gun or be in possession.
ID/21 to purchase hand gun or be in possession.

i dont know about texas or other areas but around here you cant even buy ammo. i have even went 20 minutes into missouri to bass pro and cabelas and they have low (if any) inventory on for 9mm and 40 cal.
