My retirement funds are in jeopardy
Yes, I am about to get loose and dangerous with savings.
I just received my C&R license from the ATF folks. Now when I look at all the on-line gun auction and sales websites, I can have more immediate satisfaction and an impulse to buy guns. In IL one has to normally wait three days after a purchase to possess the gun. Plus I have to have it shipped to a FFL for the obligatory wait and extra $15-25 fee. Screw that! But, no more. I am free to blow more money. I have been looking for the right reason for a three hour road trip to Simpsons, LTD and hassle free buying. This noob collector has new found freedom.

Be very careful how you use your new found super powers. These powers are addicting.
May the Force be with you! |

I asked my county sheriff (a friend) to serve as my CLEO and actively support my application. Maybe that made a difference. I already have my IL CCW license; that may have helped, too. Of course, I have an IL FOID (firearm owner ID) card that is required to possess any weapons or to buy ammo.

My father had a C&R license before he passed, many fine weapons were purchased under it. Just be careful when you go to Simpsons Ltd, they have quite a selection!

Enjoy your newly gifted "rights", but be advised that many sellers/dealers don't recognize the C&R. Also be careful not to use it as a license to do business. That never ends well...

Just call them and as why it's taking so long, if you're lucky you'll have your C&R within a few days. |

You would be correct about running a business. I have no intention to engage my hobby at the business level. But, you make a good point. Quote:
Olle, I will be visiting and traveling through the great state of TN next week. I have a business conference in Nashville, my adopted home town and where I went to school (Go Vandy) and then I'm heading to Asheville, NC for some vacation time. My Swedish fiancé will be with me. Lastly, any "must stop and see" LGS along I-40?

Eugen,
If you are in Asheville Aug 12/13, you could drive 30 minutes east to Morganton NC(on I 40) and join us for the North Carolina Gun Collectors Show that weekend. We're just off I 40, at exit 105. Exit and turn left = North on Sterling St. toward down town. We are in the Foothills Exibition center, 2/10 mile from the interstate on the left! Be sure to ask for the "President" of NCGCA when you arrive! That would be me, I may get you in for free.
