The process for getting my CC permit was expensive, time consuming and a pain in the ass, but it could have been worse. Illinois is a "will issue" state, meaning they have to prove why they won't give you a permit. In "may issue" states like New York, you have to prove to them why you need one, and unless your uncle is the mayor or a mob boss, or you're rich/famous, good luck with that. Seems like it took about three months. First you need a FOID (firearms owner ID), then you have to get 16 hours of training, then you apply. The training requirement annoyed me at the time, but in hindsight it was extremely useful - the guy I went to is an ex-Marine and ex-Chicago cop, who is a master shot and has been in a lot of bad real life situations. He knows his shit. Big difference between what you learn from somebody like that and your dad when you're stomping around out in the woods. |

Man - I LOVE 1911's (have three of them) but (and I know the brand) that looks like a hot mess....Just an opinion, though. |

Any of you ever haggle at gun stores? First time I tried it a few months ago, I sucked.
I tried again at Cabala's a couple weeks ago and got them to come down from $580 to $500. I'm looking at a badass Sig 1911 Nickel for $1k at our local shop, that's without the 9.1% sales tax we have. Cheapest I've found is $980 OTD on gunbroker. Was thinking on offering the $1k as an OTD price. The gun shop is never busy, parking lot is usually empty when I drive by it. |

Their prices are usually a joke, which is probably why they aren't busy anymore. |
