I've had my FOID for 46 years, followed every rule to the letter. I set up an appointment this week to sell the majority of my collection to Cabelas. It's over in Illinois every pol that matters is coming for us. I'm not sitting around huffing and puffing about my cold dead hands. I'll take what they offer and just play with my revolvers from now on.

This idea has gotten a lot of grief from everyone, but I get where he's coming from. A lot of people I know are voting with their feet, but that's not something all of us can do before, say, February or March. Beyond that, I don't think anywhere you can go will be safe forever, or for long, frankly. Anywhere with a decent standard of living has growing urban centers that produce that cashflow and jobs, and all of the shitty laws that come with it.
For those who are potentially staring multiple felonies in the face in a few weeks, what's your plan B? I'm genuinely curious.
Some have land outside the state....that's one approach.
Maybe there are (or will be) storage units in friendly neighboring states where your stuff could sit. This is something I am considering, if push comes to shove.
Maybe we would get a temporary injunction and have a "stay of execution" while we litigate, but that outcome is far from certain.
You can do nothing, and roll the dice, but if you get caught by the right people, I would expect the full force of the law to come down on you. It's pretty pathetic that they will destroy innocent people's lives to enforce stupid laws, and give a pass to the violent murderers in Chicago who commit gun crimes repeatedly.
