I'm looking at SE Wyoming. Laramie, Cheyenne is beautiful! I'd love Jackson, but too many liberals. One of these days, they'll let me retire. I was out there with the Family years ago. I talked to Local, County and State Police- Just as a back-up plan. State Trooper that I was talking to told me that there's 10 guns for every person in Wyoming. I had to count things for a second. He smiled when I told him I have that number covered! ______________________________________________________________________ "When its time to shoot, shoot.

Yes please pray for us LAW ABIDING citizens in IL. My hope is this gets tied up in court rather quickly, just like our asinine SAFE-T act, commonly referred to as the Purge Law. *Handguns are fine, Shotguns are final | |||

I love Wyoming too. But, other factors keep it off my list, so Colorado Springs and pretty much anywhere in Arizona are on my short list. I would have been gone years ago, but the wife is reluctant to be too far from the grandkids (one brood in the Chicago suburbs, another near Milwaukee). But, stuff like this - along with the institutionalized corruption, ever-increasing taxes, and decreasing property values - give her second thoughts. _____________________________________________________________________ “One of the common failings among honorable people is a failure to appreciate how thoroughly dishonorable some other people can be, and how dangerous it is to trust them.” – Thomas Sowell | |||

Pritzker is such a whiny entitled prick... After several Illinois law enforcement agencies said they won’t enforce the new gun ban, Gov. JB Pritzker had a strong response: Comply or hit the road. “As are all law enforcement all across our state and they will in fact do their job or they won’t be in their job,” Pritzker said Tuesday during a press conference. Locally, sheriff’s departments in Winnebago, Ogle, Stephenson, and Lee counties, among others, have said they will not enforce the new law, which makes more than 100 guns and magazines illegal because the state deems them “assault weapons.” "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

In the SAFE-T act, the other half-wit, Kwamme Raul (Il Attny Gen.) has the power to fire any police officer in the state, I don't know if this extends to an elected Sheriff. ______________________________________________________________________ "When its time to shoot, shoot.

Since Sheriffs are elected to office, I don't think so. Sheriffs are special LE and can do things others cannot. flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||

In Florida he can. Ask ex-Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel about that. He can also fire state attorneys that refuse to enforce the state laws. Don’t know if Illinois law is different. | |||

Interesting he cares now  I dont recall him insisting on enforcement of laws when cities were voting to become sanctuaries from federal migration actions.

Some really good news today, especially the part indicating that the 7th Circuit Court is taking the Bruen decision seriously and has vacated and remanded a lower court ruling in Illinois on a gun ban case based on the Bruen decision. I bet our clown governor and AG are not having a good evening after hearing that. | |||

Big news today. This will most likely be appealed to the 7Th Circuit Court of Appeals but it looks like our chances of getting a fair hearing there are pretty good from what I have read. I am sure we will here more soon from Todd Vandermyde for his expert take on this and what it means for us in Illinois concerning this awful law. https://www.thecentersquare.co...37-9f846d6fface.html Federal judge blocks Illinois' gun and magazine ban while case continues By Greg Bishop | The Center Square 37 min ago (The Center Square) – Illinois’ gun and magazine ban is on hold after a federal judge in the Southern District of Illinois ruled in favor of a preliminary injunction. The case could be appealed to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, where a similar challenge is pending. Gov. J.B. Pritzker enacted a ban on more than 170 semi-automatic firearms and magazines over certain capacities on Jan. 10. A week later, lawsuits challenging the law were filed in state and federal courts. In the Southern District federal courts, four plaintiffs groups' cases were consolidated and heard by Judge Stephen McGlynn in East St. Louis earlier this month. On Friday, McGlynn granted a motion for a preliminary injunction, blocking enforcement of the law statewide. “Plaintiffs have satisfied their burden for a preliminary injunction,” McGlynn wrote. “They have shown irreparable harm with no adequate remedy at law, a reasonable likelihood of success on the merits, that the public interest is in favor of the relief, and the balance of harm weighs in their favor. Therefore, the Plaintiffs’ motions for preliminary injunction are GRANTED. Defendants are ENJOINED from enforcing Illinois statutes 720 ILCS 5/24-1.9(b) and (c), and 720 ILCS 5/24-1.10, along with the PICA amended provisions set forth in 735 ILCS 5/24-1(a), including subparagraphs (11), (14), (15), and (16), statewide during the pendency of this litigation until the Court can address the merits.” Messages to Pritzker’s office, and the office of Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul were not immediately returned. It’s expected the state will appeal to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, where the court has the case brought by Law Weapons owner Robert Bevis. Bevis sued Naperville last fall and amended his complaint to include a challenge to the state’s ban. In February, Northern District federal Judge Virginia Kendall ruled in favor of the state and Naperville and against the plaintiffs, saying the state met the burden that the banned firearms are dangerous and can be banned under the history and tradition of how the U.S. regulated firearms. McGlynn saw things different from Kendall. “Although Defendants challenged the veracity of Plaintiffs’ evidence, they were unable to produce evidence showing that modern sporting rifles are both dangerous and unusual. Consequently, Defendants failed to meet their burden to demonstrate that the 'arms' banned by [Protect Illinois Communities Act] are ‘dangerous and unusual’ and thus not protected by the Second Amendment,” McGlynn wrote. Last week, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals denied to grant Bevis a preliminary injunction against the law and Naperville’s ordinance while the case was on appeal. Earlier this week, a separate case from Cook County was decided by a Northern District judge siding with the state, the city of Chicago and Cook County. Several cases are pending in Illinois state court, with one from Macon County challenging the law up for oral arguments in the Illinois Supreme Court May 16. | |||
