I wouldn't live here except for I followed a job here then I bought a house. We've about out grown the house and I won't buy another house in this state. On the other hand my oldest is now in a REALLY good public school. We'll see if my second kid is accepted into that program in two years or not.
We have to apply for a firearm owner ID which is a background check and card similar to a driver's license. On the other hand there is no state registration for a firearm as with several states. They know I have a FOID but don't know what, if anything, I have. There are localities that have stupid restrictions like they outlaw a SA rifle with a detachable mag - yes that includes a Ruger 10/22. Also as I understand it you can't deer hunt with a rifle cartridge that chokes down due to worries of over penetration in flat farm country.
There are days where I really want to buy a long gun and vacillate between a bolt action in something like .308 or a lever action carbine in .357 mag. Two big things hold me back on that though: (1)I don't really have the time or space to shoot so it would just sit in the safe (2) Mrs. Yan is cross-eye dominant (left eye, right hand) and won't really be shooting a long gun anytime soon.
