Inherited father in law's guns and bows

[WorldofWarcraft]

I'm a complete noob so I probably didn't use the right terminology.

In IL though you have to have a Firearms Owner Identification Card from the State to even hold a gun.



It costs $11. I also had to update my drivers license address first before I could apply which was $6 =/

wow that fucking sucks.

wow that fucking sucks.

And that's not even a CCW. That you have to take a course and they are not cheap IIRC. But I'll cross that when I come to it.

I'd sell something to make enough money to buy a semi automatic handgun. Revolvers just aren't gonna cut it these days. Even pump shotguns.

Went and got some wax for the bow strings and put that on both the compound and cross bow last night. Think I'm gonna buy a new wrist caliper for the compound bow. The one he had is pretty old and I'n not sure if the clasp is good enough anymore (don't want to really test it and accidentally have a dry fire). Will probably hit the archery fields this weekend. Been reading and watching vids on proper bow usage.

Still waiting for my firearms owner card to be approved by the Illinois State Police

That's what I'd get if I was getting a CZ.

If you had a good relationship with your father-in-law, keep the guns. Sentimental value.

But, otherwise, especially if your wife doesn't care for them, trade/sell them.

Hang on too it for when the zombie apocalypse comes.

Yeah I'd say it was a good relationship. I helped him a lot when he got sick. I'm not getting rid of em. If I do get bit by the gun enthusiast bug I'll just buy my own semi-automatic and keep these.

I just need a dirt bike now! And a machete, maybe a Bowie knife or something. I have a car from the 60's with a big iron block that should run forever too!

Disagree, revolvers are awesome.

Disagree, revolvers are awesome.

Not by comparison.

Not by comparison.

I have several glocks and a sig sauer 229, my dad has a bunch of 1911s but there's just something about a nice big bore revolver. The ruger Alaskan, kodiak and my super Blackhawk in 454 are just flat out awesome.

They aren't great for every day use but i still really like shooting them.

You won't find a semi-auto that can shoot .500 S&W Mags or the .454 rounds.

Update: Still waiting on my IL firearms owner card =/ Can take up to a month. >_<

 

[Gregolian]

Fuck that state.

 

[Big Nasty Edison]

So a month later my firearm's owner card in IL was approved.

 

[Big Nasty Edison]

My IL firearms owners card finally arrived but when I went to get the revolver from the mother in law's house, her brother had already came over and taken it and sold it.

I'd like to shoot him in his ass for it.

If it was left for you why did he sell the fucking thing? Kill him. 100% kill him.

I have no clue. The wife and I were pretty upset about it. He knows nothing about firearms and we think got less than half what it was worth to make it even worse.

I'll never be like him now


It really pissed me off that it was her dad's gun and now its just gone. Like how about we just get rid of everything he liked while we are at it?
