Just storing the lower assembly of an AR out of cook county?

The lower is considered the firearm, since you can order an upper threw the mail without an FFL.  

My thinking is you cant assemble an evil assault rifle if the lower is stored out of county.

Just looking for some other opinions on this.



(6)        Conversion kit, part or combination of parts, from which an assault weapon can be assembled if those parts are in the possession or under the control of the same person;



Or does "under control" mean that I could assemble an evil assault rifle, but if I stored the whole AR out of county, wouldnt that mean I was still in control of said AR? OR do you'll think it just means in-county.

Yes I'm confused, and I hate this county, but my mother-in-law is sickly and wont leave her house, so my wife wont leave so I'm stuck for a while.

I won't even speculate as to how liberal judges could twist the law against you. I like your plan of moving just the lowers out regardless. The thing that makes this section of the AWB so bad is that it means mearly owning a VFG and an otherwise non-affected rifle puts you in hot water.

Does anyone make a non-funtioning replica AR lower, kind of like those Thompson replicas that RGUNS sells with all GI parts except for the dummy reciever?

Out of curiousity, why would it be any advantage to maintain possession of the upper without the lower? What would you do with just the upper?
You might as well just have a picture of the rifle for all the good it would do you.

I say to hell with any ban... if you want to own one, own one.... If you get arrested for it... contact every news station you can think of to bring as much publicity to it as possible.  If all you ever do is go to the range, hunt with your firearm, why are you being punished.

No one will through you in jail and if they do they will get a bad rap for it.

Well this might be one of the question's you'll be asking if King Dailey gets his wish, and passes a state wide AWB. And in its current form the state AWB doesn't have a grandfather clause.



I would prefer to keep the more expensive part in my safe, and under my control if I was legally able to.

Maybe I misunderstood. I, for some reason, assumed you would be giving the lower to someone you trusted for safekeeping. If that's not what you meant and you intend to dispose of the lower, I understand.
