    So I'm working on trying out some new shells for duck season and I found a good deal on sportsman guide. I should've known being from Illinois it was going to be a hassle. After many emails and sending them my info. They final decided to release the ammunition into Illinois. They make it seem like a huge deal. Just another reason why this state is a joke.

    Chicago July 2016......441 shot 65 dead. Not a single one of those incidents involved shells used for duck hunting. Go figure.

    Just recently the last gun shop closed in Minneapolis, same for St. Paul not a single gun shop in either of the Twin Cities. Guess we should see gun crimes drop any day now.

    I had to jump through flaming hoops also. I get my shells from Rogers out of Kansas City MO. They have a copy of my soul on file now so it's a little easier but that first order. whew.

    Yeah they have my file now but I wasn't thinking initially because I've been away at school so I used my house address rather than my home address that's on the FOID card. I haven't changed anything yet because I'm moving every year so I'll just deal with it for now.

    Sounds like a great opportunity to open up a gun shop just outside the city limits.

    I've found a lot of online retailers wont ship to Chicago, Cook County or even Illinois, even when its a legal purchase. They said it was there choice not to any more... :bigcry::bigcry::bigcry:
