A friend just sent me this I don't have any details on it besides what is contained here but it looks like just one more back-door way to keep folks from owning firearms.

Of all the good places that they could have gone they chose that state, the most restrictive gun state in the Union. I am a ATA Life Member, and have attended the Grand several times in the past few years, but I will never go back to it again in IL. The venue is too big, and no way to get around unless you pay for a Golfcart at $50 a day or better, or drive and try to get a parking place someplace near your range. There is no people mover carts like they used to have at Vandallia. The Central Handicap building is at one end of the trapfields, not in the middle like they used to be. The state Reps. had to over turn a Veto from the Gov. to make it so that you could buy ammo at the shoot and at Wal-mart, you have to have a valid ATA card to buy it, other wise you have to have a FOID card. The Police Presence there was overwhellming, wow, everytime you turned around there was a state policeman, people complained, but it is a State Department of Natural Resources Facility, so the Police have to be there, don't trust people with guns . .
