I have a non-HDTV, I guess they can have that unless I buy a converter box

Still, I would rather shoot and kill an intruder than hand over a single dime to a robber. I probably would be doing society a favor.

These missing letters could mean anything from robbers to thieves. You're just another ignorate person thinking that only Blacks commit crimes. Did the world pass me bye? I wasn't aware that the jails are populated with just only Blacks. Next time be a man and really write what you mean instead of using codes. [mod cut]

Back to the thread is it still legal to own rifles or anything over 16'' in Chicago?

I don't know if Wold thinks I'm too stupid to read between the lines, but I am not. Though it took me longer than it ought have to figure it out.

I'm not gonna close a thread because I don't like what it's about, but keep this specific to Chicago and less about the NRA and we'll all get along better.

Default 18.5 inches required

I believe you have to be 18.5 inches or longer. You also have to have a rifle grip. 16 inch length and pistol grip were allowed until recently.

This info is all coming from GunWorld 2 years ago, so perhaps they have revised the laws since then.

What if you miss with your 12 gauge and he shoots you? Most thugs are probably not trained marksmen, they are low IQ boys who point and spray instead of aim. But still, I value life too much. Not his, mine.
Its pretty hard to miss with a shotgun at close range.

this is such good news. when the good guys have guns, it makes the job of the bad guys much much more difficult.
