bunch of B.S

What is this bunch of bull s**T i'm Hearing about the state of Illinois making it mandatory for a person to hold 1 million dollar insurance policy on a firearm effective Jan 1 2010....

I'm so sick of this state or should i say chicago,
I can't believe there really this stupid whats next give all criminals the right to pick there own punishment.

Wouldn't surprise me!!!!!
 
I remember when they wanted to ban all high cap mags in Chicago. That included On Duty Police too.
 
I could better deal with this STUPID law if it were based on if the person had a criminal background but for the normal law abiding citizen; NO WAY this is overkill.!!! I can't imagine what this will cost in an already stressed economical downward spiral that where in right now....

This is crazy what are we doing to ourselves
,LAND OF THE FREE HOME OF THE BRAVE) THERE TRYING TO TAKE OUR FREEDOM SO WE BETTER STAND UP AND BE BRAVE BEFORE WE LOOSE ALL OUR RIGHTS...................

FREEEEDOMMMMM: LOL

sorry just a little stressed after a long day..
 
Guys, understand this has nothing to do with the insurance and everything to do with taking away your right to keep and bear arms.

Once you understand this it all makes perfect sense.
 
They want to raise the cost of ownership to the point that some people will give it up. Like in Kalifornia with the AR/AK registration requirements. If you didn't register you would be less likely to use it for fear of being arrested. It's a win-win for them. Charlie
 
The working poor and even lower middle class would be restrained by this effort. The insurance industry would obtain some new victims,i.e. customers). The price for insurance would continue to climb once everybody and their lawyer's discovered that a very large pool of money lay in wait. The insuance industry could decide not to insure if their profit margins came under attack. On and on it goes. Mayor Daly and Chicago politics in general has all the charm and tact of a Nazi commandant.

Do not worry about it. I doubt if you will be able to find an insurance company anywhere in the world who would write such a policy. So, the law says you have to be insured, you can't buy a policy, so you can't own the gun. End of discussion. :rolleyes:

Its going to be a cold day in hell before they get my guns for any reason i'll promise you all that and i hope I'm not the only one that feels this way.....
 
Mason: Don't believe everything you hear. Research the facts for yourself. That way you'll know what they are and the crowd will be basing their opinions on innuendo, rumors, conjecture, falsehoods, and guesses.
 
If you hate Chicago, try living in California. We can't even use lead bullets, in certain parts of the state, because of a bird known as a Condor.

And they taste like chicken!!!;)

Unfortunately I too am a resident of Kalifornia.
The gun CONTROL is about control. Nothing else. There is no reason for the stupid laws that we have.

What ever happened to 'shall not be infriged'?

Mason - Don't try to justify what they are trying to do. The people of Illinois need to get involved. Start a petition or something to try to get the law repealed. They make these stupid laws that have no basis of reason and are against our Constitutional Rights. We as law abiding citizens need to get mad enough to get involved.

Writing our elected people does no good. We need to make sure the ones that make these stupid rules don't get reelected.
 
ya, people need to get involved rrrright; i was talking to a group of guy and gals at the local gun club about this and the response i got was THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN IN OUR LIFE TIME SO DON'T WORRY YOURSELF... Well surprise surprise or should i say I'm not surprised that this is how the people in Illinois want to take care of our problems.

I have a good idea lets just turn our heads and this will all be better in the morning. I love this state.....Any vacancy's in Texas.
 
Check in with your home insurance carrier about the cost for an umbrella policy. I added a 1mil umbrella over and above all of my other policies and only pay $146/year.
 
You all overlook one important fact here.

What companies corporate headquarters is located in the district of the representative that introduced the bill?

STATE FARM!!!! One of the largest insurance companies in the nation.

Remember - follow the money :-)

Mason you are right.
That is a common problem. Seems some of the people stick their head in the sand and think things will get better on their own.

I am so mad I can't stand it. We are loosing our right a piece at a time and nobody cares.

Neither party is worth a crap. The Demos want to give everything away and a lot of the Republicans want to make sure they get a cut of the give away.

What a mess. I have no answers.
 
The problem as I see it is we the people are supposed to be the Government but the way everybody wants to trust nobody, this is the reason the freiking Government runs us over. I hold a class 01, 02, 03, and an 06 FFL and I believe as you all do, but the rest of the people are as you said, they walk around with the head in the fourth point of contact. I fight for our rights as hard as any, by joining the NRA, supporting the Sportsman for fish and wildlife and the other things. Even my children attend these meetings but Wyoming don't have the problems you guys do. When you have to many people ignorance runs among them.
Just my $.02, keep your head up for the whole fight, if nothing else it lets them know you'r tougher than hell, then just move to Wyoming.
Best of luck and GOD bless,
Mac's
