The forums have been hosted for some time now out of my pocket. We are coming up on the annual domain renewal for ohioccwforums.org and I pay roughly $20/month to keep the forums online. I do this to maintain the long-standing history of discussions here indexed in Google, and so that people have a place to discuss this topic outside of modern social media censorship. If you enjoy the forums and you'd like to help offset the cost, please consider a venmo donation here
This area is for discussions that do not fit into the formal firearms discussions of the website. Common sense and non-controversial contributions are expected. Certain topics are forbidden. See the forum rules for more details.
U.S. Newswire wrote: CHICAGO, Sept. 8 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The following was released today by the Illinois State Rifle Association (ISRA):
The Cook County (IL) Board failed to act today during its regularly scheduled meeting on a proposal that would result in the banning and forced confiscation of various types of firearms owned by law-abiding county residents. Although no action was taken today, the proposal's sponsor, Commissioner Larry Suffredin, indicated that he would push forward with his plan to have a vote taken on the matter in the near future.
Although "the banning and forced confiscation of various types of firearms owned by law-abiding county residents" hasn't happened yet, clearly there are some politicians who would like to see it.
