This has been mentioned before Tinman, but at this point I assume you're in charge of Google Images, and just have a myriad of pictures always at your finger tips.

Rumor I heard is Tinman don't got no fingers, horrible accident involving a corn harvester. Uses a probe in his teeth to push the buttons.

Course it could just be rumor too, I got no solid information to back it up.

I think he may have some sort of professional Photoshop type software and way too much time on his hands.

At least his time is being put to good use.

Keeping us amused.

Currie said. “I don’t want people out of control wandering the streets with guns that are out of control.”

I don't suppose you could have people IN control with guns that are OUT of control ... or conversely people OUT of control with guns that are IN control.

I guess those damn guns just don't want to behave themselves!

Illinois CCW

Howdy,

As a Life member of ISRA & NRA, I am happy with this. We have all the players in place to shut down any threat to this passage of any law that we don't like. The General Assembly had their chance to pass the HB-148, Personal Protection law, which allows CCW for all Illinoisians. HB-148 was a colaboration of Gun Control people, gun rights activists, LEO groups & States Attorney's agreeing on. The GA dragged it's feet, not passing this. So, it's back to the drawing board for the gun control people for them to craft some kind of legislation. We have the votes to control the vote. Any bad bill will be shut down. We as Illinoisians will have concealled carry within 179 days. I've been in the fight since 1999 and glad it's over.

I hope you are corect however statement to "control" the vote are overconfidence at the minimum. The legislators still control the issue. to fail to understand that is to fail to understand the issue.

I hate riding through our unfriendly state with my PM( but I do. I travel 74 alot and I love the gun signs along the highway. You guys did a nice job
\
Nice job.

Definitely congratulations to everyone involved in making that happen--it's just a sad thing that the fight had to take place to begin with. I expect the battles will continue for eternity, however; it seems we live in an era of increasing polarization and fewer diplomatic skills among the people and their elected bureaucrats.

With good fortune and reason, we can look forward to Illinois one day becoming a shall-issue state, acknowledging that the 2nd Amendment isn't the Right to Go Elk Hunting Amendment.

Howdy,

I have heard it might happen before Christmas(Whoopie!!!!) or it could happen with the new session of General Assembly. My old Senator(is wishie/washie onCCW) is leaving the 9th of January and my new Senator is staunch 2nd Amendment advocate, comes in. I think this is part of the regime getting in and should be pro 2nd Amendment. We missed calling the HB-148 by 6 votes last time, so it looks good. If they fail to come up with a plan by June 9, we get constitutional carry. Any time, anywhere and with any kind of weapon! I doubt this will happen, cuz they don't want this to happen, and they don't want miss the revenue. Things are accelerating and we be the ones steering, not the Politicians. Great for us. Will keep everyone posted on results, as I hear them.
