Hello Jimmi,
Getting a C& R in Illinois is a no brainer. Fill out the App, send a copy to your local sheriff and $30 and wait about a month or so... Best $30 I ever spent... It's a pretty stupid law if you think about it. Ranks right up there along with the AWB.... With your C&R you can only buy stuff 50 years old or older. No new stuff. ????? Which don't make a lot of sense in my mind....???? Guess 50 year old weapons never killed anyone, and 49 year old ones do...??????
On the surface the C&R appears to only cost 30 bucks. But really it's costs 1000's. First thing you'll need is another safe or two... Starts out where you buy one rifle. Then the 3 for deals look way to good to pass up.... Or how about the 5 for deals.... Hey I'm starting to understand womans logic here the more you spend the more you save.. :-) If you don't mind spending your time cleaning and fixing up the old stuff. A 100 bucks can buy you alot of firearm. I have sure learned a bunch in the 2 plus years I've had mine...
