They almost made it legal...

Coming from the "Live, Freeze, and Die" state it was quite surprising just how onerous the process is/was.

Wow! I have never heard of our local law enforcement doing spot checks even in anti-gun places like Boulder or Denver.
I would think there would be more pressing issues that need attention.

Illinois, U.S.A. - pretty sure it's anything over .177 and 700fps is considered a firearm(both together), I had no problems when buying my .25cal Hatsan 95.

430 ILCS 65/Firearm owners ID card act
The way I read it say everything is a firearm unless it is lees than .18 or under 700fps
Or is it saying a 22 less than 700 is ok? Or is the word globular key, making all pellet pushers a firearm?
But then they like to write things in a way that gives them an out.

"Firearm" means any device, by whatever name known, which is designed to expel a projectile or projectiles by the action of an explosion, expansion of gas or escape of gas; excluding, however: (1) any pneumatic gun, spring gun, paint ball gun, or | ||

And it may be the way it goes, once in court.
My bet is they would stick on “Globular” which a pellet is not.
Down state there may be some reasonable jurisdictions, but north of the war zone not so much.

I lived in FL for 10 years, came back for family. I miss it most on cold winter days when my freedom is being sucked away….

What really made me crazy was going to buy ammo after finally receiving my FOID. The person at the register asked for my FOID card and only wanted to see I had one. I barely got it out of my wallet, it could've been expired or someone else's. I was expecting every transaction to pull it out have it scanned or # written down....NOPE.

How lame to use fps instead of fpe as a limit. I bet my FWB300S could propel a felt cleaning pellet to over 700 fps where a more powerful gun would struggle to propel the heaviest .177 slug to the same velocity. What projectile do you use to measure if you're legal?

So my Air Arms Fields that measure 4.50 would be air rifle pellets as long as they are slower than 700 FPS, but my HN FTT that measure 4.53 would magically transform into firearm bullets? That's a neat trick. Congrats to the Illinois lawmakers for re-writing the laws of physics to better punish their tax payers.

And for the record, I don't lean left. I've been standing in the same place for years, but I've noticed that there are a lot more people that I don't agree with standing on my right these days. I don't think in terms of left and right anymore, just forwards and backwards.

Throw L and R in the trash and try to look at what makes sense.
The problem is the people that make policy never have good information on any subject that would allow intelligent decisions to be made.
