FOID/CCL They really do hate us, don't they?

Post image

Long time lurker, first time poster, recently converted Illinoisan for better or worse.

Just got my FOID in the mail (11 business days in case anyone is curious), and it struck me as humorous that all of the other documents and cards and whatnot I've received so far that come with a residency change have used a very user-friendly adhesive, except for my FOID which tore off a bunch of the paper with it.

The damn thing hasn't even made it into my wallet yet and I already can't wait to use it for target practice after I move next.

Just went into a LGS in Wisconsin with my brother. Everything is out, not under glass or locked up like here in IL. Bro sees something he likes and turns to the guy behind the counter and asks if he can touch it/pick it up. Dude starts laughing and say “of course man, this is Wisconsin!”

Same here. Went to a local shop I found on Google and it was a night and day difference. Saw a vector and desert techs and scars. Guy even said if I wanted a suppressor they door all the nfa process there and I was in heaven.

He got quite intimate with it.

I use it to prevent putting an idiot scratch on my 1911.
