I was thinking the same thing!
Fortunately, I have not been pulled over since getting my LTCH. Local PD are pretty cool (it's a small town), but county can sometimes be a little more aggressive!
I applied at local pd 12-28. Money order cashed by ISP on 1-2. Got mine in the mail on 4-18. It took 106 days, so I would think yours will be here soon.
Illinois is dead to me....avoid it like the plague. Had a run-in with a state trooper in southern Illinois a few years back; not gun related, but traffic stop. Sounded just like the police from the movie "Idiocracy." "This particular individual is accused of being a particular individual..."
We may have won this most recent battle, but they are like a flood. You plug one hole in the dam, and they try 23 other holes until they find one you can't plug. Looks like we need more hands!
Unfortunately, these uninformed, mentally deficient, "Pro-2A" hunters miss the point once again. As we all know, the 2A was never about hunting!
If I still had hair, I might pull it all out if I hear one more person say that there is some connection between hunting and the 2A
This is why you must never answer doctors' questions about whether firearms are present in your home, and never let them know you are felling "depressed!"
