    Forget it getting worse for non-residents. Illinois Democrats just passed Magazine bans on mags greater than 10 rounds and the same goes for some rifles with fixed mags. Capacity limited to 10 rounds. All owners of mags listed in the legislation have 300 days to “dispose” of the mags. As for long guns with 10+ capacity, might need registration. Penalties for noncompliance are ridiculous!
    OUCH!
    There will be battles between sanctuary locations and the State but I think preemption will prevail. Illinois just S$$k$!

    Sanctuary locations are about not enforcing the law, not about trying to have a different law.

    This one will be in court as soon as someone can get it there.

    Stop giving money to people who hate you. Don’t spend tourist dollars there. Have to drive across? Gas up before you cross the border.

    After I moved out of that cesspool three years ago I have cut almost all ties even though I only moved 14 miles across the border. Bank, dentist, doctor, pretty much every thing except friends and relatives and I encourage them to move also. Jim.

    This is exactly what I do when I go to my daughters in Omaha. I stop on the west side of IN and fuel. I then drive straight to Bettendorf Iowa where I spend the night. I finish up the drive the next day.

    The craziness has crossed the border. Hammond Cabela's pulled all of their semiautomatic rifles and shotguns off of the shelves. The employees told us it was corporate's decision. I bet the Bass Pro in Portage is the same. Will make a call tomorrow to voice a complaint

    I wonder if it is because of liability and being worried about a rush of Illinois purchases.

    I just went to Cabelas in Hammond.
    The racks were full of semi-auto rifles and shotguns. Even those evil AR rifles.
    2 racks were empty behind the counter. And a dozen full.
