I have always been a western buff, but the firearms ownership climate is also better here. 8)

The word Illinois means "superior men" or so I've heard

I wonder about Barack Obama, he's a superior liar for sure!  ;D

AZ is supposed to be good but so is MO and it's closer to you, we're pro-gun (except the governor, strangely enough, but our whole legislature is dominated by Red and even the blue are supposedly pro gun, usually)

When you can, head to Tombstone.
Those folks that dresses up,yep, those sixguns are real.
As long as you are an AZ resident, you can open carry.

You don't have to go there; when I went to the Veteran's day diner at the Golden Corral in Tucson one of the guys was packen his Glock in open carry.  Since CCW it is not as commen but it still is seen on a few people.  As a boy in Illinois I used to carry a card showing I was a gun owner, without it you could not buy ammo.  I don't know what they do now. :-\

from what I've read it's something like this: if you don't have your gun owner registration card and have even one round of ammo you can get a felony (and then be barred from ever owning guns, not that you could before without "registering" so what the point is I don't know)

gotta love liberals

hell arkansas is redneck and they have liberals goofing up their laws too, you'd think that's not the case but damn
never underestimate the power of democrats and propaganda to motivate the stupid in america to drag us all down just so they can keep getting welfare checks and guaranteed assistance (food stamps, affirmative action, minority/poor-me/sympathy card whatever) and give all the power to the state.  if we are self reliant and don't give in then they can't leech because they'll be held to the same standards.  seems to me a lot of the immigrants coming in are better than natural born americans because at least they're willing to work and horde their rightfully earned wealth instead of feeding the needy (aka lazy)

I'm gonna stop now, I'm a disgruntled vet so once I start... you know


anyways, welcome charlie t

wait, ... I'm not done yet


Kanye West, Nancy Pelosi, Obama is president but Biden is vice so if obama gets out then we get someone probably worse, but in the mean time he is the president pro tempore/ top dog in the senate, the house in congress that REALLY has the power.  think about that...


think hard enough and you'll be disgruntled too!!!!!
