Silverstrand,
I am currently a captive in the Peoples Democratic Republic of Daley. If you wish to communicate by a "Tap" code, feel free to use my e-mail.
Seriously, if you want to try to get together to shoot, let me know. I live near enough to some decent restaurants to point them out.
Yes, the Museum of Science and Industry is great. The Pizza is great. The steaks are great. If you are on a tight budget, I can point out some cheaper restaurants, if you are on an "expense account" (a la--the Aunt pays), I can point you towards Morton's, Gibson's, Lawrey's Prime Rib, etc. If you are a sports fan, I can point you towards a do it yourself bonanza (ESPN Zone) and the original Pizzaria UNO is across the street. If you are on the young side, Disney Quest is near there also.
I don't know about the out of state ID requirements at Gun World, but C-rock knows them better than I would, and I wouldn't mind shooting there.
There is also Bass Pro Shops out in Gurnee, which is a nice place to walk around in (their restaurant is quite good, also).
