    Cleaning the M1A today and noticed a tiny black plastic part that I don't recognize. I cannot figure out where, if anywhere, it goes, except for maybe on the left side of the receiver. It's also entirely possible it's something random laying around on my bench (or maybe from a different firearm?). Anyone have any ideas?

    To your point, though:  now that precedent has been set, could an illegal immigrant challenge IL’s FOID and Background check? Could make a case that their rights are also being denied since they can’t purchase.  

    Cries in Red Flag laws..

     

    That may be the silver lining here. Maybe this is the shot across the bow, unintentionally as it may be, to kill FOIDs, P2Ps, etc. And from a liberal judge no less.

    Ok, so I have been carrying for a couple months, I'm still a newb. But no matter what I try, I can't carry IWB with a kydex holster without considerable pain.

    Some background, I am a big boy, I have a sizable belly. I tried AIWB, but that only worked while upright. Sitting or bending over was damn near impossible. I tried 3 o'clock, both straight and canted. I have to tighten my pants to prevent my pants from falling due to the weight of the gun. That resulted in the holster pushing hard against my thigh bone. So that's a no go. I can carry perfectly fine all day with an OWB at 3 o'clock, but that will be more difficult as the weather starts to warm. Finding a suitable cover garment in the summer will be difficult. Any suggestions? I was thinking of a leather holster, but I'm afraid it will collapse when empty.

    I'm carrying a P30SK (hammer and external safety) with a tlr7a

    What about IWB at 4/5 o'clock?

    Only slightly off topic, my wife and I are down in south Florida, where I have entered a couple of stores which had "No Firearms" signs posted.  Unlike NJ, where ignoring them would be a felony, in Florida those signs have no force of law, according to what I have read (and I sure hope I got that right).  Of course, carrying well concealed, it was not even an issue.

    Are you sure about what you said regarding NJ? My understanding from talking with Evan Nappen was that (at least for inadvertent violations of said signs) you could be asked to leave and if you didn't comply you could get trespassed. No felony. And there's no way they could prove you did it intentionally. Now, if you keep going back in violation of a trespass order then that's something different. Also, for the record, I am not talking about locations that are prohibited directly in the law.

    There was some recent discussion here about the signs, saying in effect that they also don't carry the weight of law because the law doesn't specifically cover this. The law says you have to post a sign saying firearms are ok but that got put on hold, which is interesting but regardless I will still respect the no-go signs until there's more legal clarity.

    Brah 8 Tracks, I live off the grid...

     

    But for real though I always get a giggle when the news talk about someone having 200 rounds in their home, like they were stock piling for a war and all I think that's probably the loose change  in my couch cushions.

    Doh! I was going to add 8-track to the list but decided not to. :)
