Il HO! - AR15.COM

Posted: 4/6/2006 4:31:41 PM EDT

Baring any unforseen events, I should have a teaching job in Tolono, IL this next fall. I am very excited. I noticed the signs along 74 for www.gunssavelife.com and an happy that I will be living in the area, and I look forward to participating in the activities.

The one thing that doth suck is the fact that michigan finally became a MG state, and I am now moving out. Oh, well I guess I will make it some how.

Welcome to Illinois. Be sure to apply for a FOID card as soon as you have a address in IL. and then once you get you FOID card, you can burn those nasty green cards you have for your handguns.

Congrats on the job, and welcome to our little communist experiment!!

Tolono is pretty decent, and there's always Monical's Pizza. Other than that, I hope you love HS football. Unity is an annual powerhouse in the area, and the Unity-St. Joe game is always a good one to catch.

btw- there's a sportman's club up in St. Joe and the one I shoot at near Foosland, both in Champaign Co.

You can check it out at www.omniglht.com.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. I will definatly be posting on here often when I get down to IL, as I will attempt to be as active as possible in keeping my rights.

As far as the foid card goes, is that all I have to have, or must I register my pistols too? I am really not looking forward to picking one up at all.

Ahhh... a fellow dodge turbo nut like myself :-)

SRT-4 driver here. I wouldn't mind a 50 trim...

I've been looking at doing a stage 2/hahn super 20g setup for a while. Supposedly good for 325 good old fashioned ECU controlled wheel horsepower. Add a little fuel and take controll of the boost, and its good for 400+whp.

FWD sucks though

Does anyone know of any good little towns around tolono that would be reasonably priced to live in? I prefer some place rural.

Yeah, stay out of Chambana.

Philo and Sidney are in the same school district.

The Foid card is not a big deal, unless there is some reason you can't get one. You can get the application on line.

Have you southerners never tasted a real pizza? I went to a conference in Champaign, and went to Monical's on a local's advice.
There is much better pizza, Pizza Hut might have even been better than the deep dish sausage and the thin supreme that a few of us split. If you are ever trapped up in Cook county, (as I know all of you are dieing to be) give Eduardo's Natural Pizza or Leona's a try.
Or I could be completely wrong and bland is a desirable taste.

BTW, if you can't tell, I'm just giving you shit, and getting a diss on Monical's in.

While in Chambana, try getting the Pokey Sticks from Gumby's. However, I think the best Chicago-style pizza is from Lou Malnati's
