“Mine doesn’t have an expiration date.”

Oh it has one. They just don’t put it on the card. That would make too much damned sense. Instead the ISP is “required by law” to mail a notice 90 days prior to expiring.

I made an error. It’s 180 days prior.

Sorry.

The victim, who has a Firearm Owners Identification card and CCL

Did the assailants have a FOID and CCL? Asking for a friend…

The victim, who has a Firearm Owners Identification card and CCL, can easily be found by authorities and disarmed when it is discovered that he is a likely Trump voter.

Any requirement for a permit or license is a clear infringement upon the rights recognized in the second amendment.

No one infringes on the bad guy’s 2A. Just the rest of us.

Use a blunderbuss pistol ... kitch, cool factor ... and assuming your attacker survives he has a story to tell about that time he got shot, rather than be storyless and forever upet.

I made my first trip there in 1986. Did not see much of the city, was in meetings most of the time. It was a terrible feeling of being captured. Flew in, hotel bus picked me up at the airport, nice hotel, had our meetings, bused back to airport and flew home. Felt helpless and out of place.

On a later trip I had an unplanned extended trip, spent weekend in Chicago with nothing much to do. A good friend of mine from Knoxville, TN was there for the weekend too. He suggested we go see Downtown Chicago. We took hotel shuttle bus to the L and took it downtown. We went to the Museum of Natural History and some other places, interesting. Then we went back by the L and caught the shuttle bus back to the hotel.

I spent 2 days at the National Hardware Show, and then flew home.

Never had trouble traveling by car, even in big cities. For a while I traveled 11 states on business trips. But public transportation conveys dependence that I never liked.

Never did like big cities. Felt helpless from lack of knowledge of the local scheme of things. I avoid them if at all possible. Even here in Texas. I’ve only been to Houston 2 times. One I flew in, the other I drove. But I never had a problem with DFW or even San Antonio.

Cities that a river runs through them are always difficult to travel through. Even smaller cities like Ft. Smith, AR. That town has few bridges and only the locals have problems going from point A to B. Since the advent of cell phones and GPS navigation, it is not as bad, but even GPS lies. Might as well turn it off at the DFW airport. Am sure it is intentional there.

I am glad I live in Texas, am 76, don’t travel far any more.
