Illinois ccl holder here, class, range assessment, background check, then you're good to go to protect yourself against the Chicago lowlifes...

 

The closer you get to the city the more gun free stores you see. I don't give them my business if I have other options.

Gun free means absolutely nothing. I carry in "gun free" stores all the time. There is ZERO ability for them to legally do anything to you if you got caught carrying (which you shouldn't be caught anyways). All they can do is ask you to leave. If you rightfully have to drawn down and shoot someone in a gun free area, you're still protected. That's just a stupid policy. I'll still give stores that are gun free my business because they have stuff I want and need. My carrying in there is kinda like an Eff you.

Being military, all that's required in Florida is paying the $120-ish fee.

Yep. I was getting ready to get mine when I was there, then got my sep date so I didn't follow through.

Only means something in govt buildings and banks. I think if they let us carry in the VA hospitals, I would get better healthcare

You can actually carry in a bank (at least here you can). I'd be afraid to go to the VA if we could carry in there. You know how many of us are angry as it is because we have to be at the VA? Lol.

A lot of banks here are starting to implement bullet proof cages at the entrance with metal detectors. You walk in door closed, if nothing is sensed, a clerk hits a button to open the second door.

When I was in Italy (2008) a lot of the banks were like that PLUS armed guards. It was interesting. If my bank's banking app worked properly I'd never have to go to the stupid bank to begin with.

None of the banks I've been to have the secure lobby thing. Good thing cause first time they locked me out I'd be looking for a new bank.

USAA does my personal stuff so I don't use a branch, but my work stuff I do have to use a local branch to deposit cash

You dont need a permit to carry open or concealed any longer here in AZ. Also there is no testing/training requirement to get a CCW. Fingerprints and a money order and you have a carry permit.

 

However, I do keep mine active and attend a refresher course every few years just to stay on top of any changes to the laws and such, which unfortunately is sometimes dependent on the political climate.

 

I have never seen a secure lobby Bank myself, pretty sure I will not be going to one either. I do my best not to do business with companies that infringe on my rights.

In Kentucky we had to sit through a class, watch video's, multiple choice test and than go to the firing range. The sheriff in my small town taught the class. He sent our info to the state, after about a month and half our certificate came in the mail. The sheriff's office has your pictured license card. Take the certificate to them pay a fee and they give you your license.

 

In my opinion every state should require a class, some people can not safely handle a firearm and therefore need to be shown proper handling. I would hate to hear someone lost there life because someone CCDW didn't handle their weapon properly and kill someone by accident. I love hearing when someone get's their CCDW, we need more good law abiding citizens carrying firearms. Of course if a person does not want to carry a firearm that is your right as a law abiding American citizen.

The CCDW in Ky is evidently a different practice? It covers about anything. Like throwing stars, nunchucks, knives.

 

I like Tn law, the gov said all residents can carry, no permit. But if your want to conceal you must have a permit. He didn't want money keeping people from their rights. I apologize if I got that twisted up but I think that's how I read it.

 

I like open carry, I rarely do, but I think us conceal carry regulars should try it once in a while.

 

It's funny how you always meet the most polite people in a gun store.

Spent some time researching reciprocal states, wasn't finding good clear answer.

Does Illinois honor Ky permit? Looked like Ky honored Illinois. But the more I looked the more confused I got.

Your information is NOT true, not even close and it is terrible advice to be giving to people that may get them into trouble!

 

First off, if a business has such a sign posted, that is a warning to anybody who may enter that firearms are not welcome. It is also a warning that should be taken seriously. Carrying a firearm into a business that has such signs weather they carry legal weight in that state or not still need to be followed. Going inside or on the grounds with a firearm, against the owners wishes means you are trespassing. You can be cited for trespassing if caught and actually may have your carry permit suspended for a period of time.

 

 

There are also several states where these signs actually do carry legal weight and are the law. Some states have to have specific wording on their signs to make them legal, some do not and actually seem like it's ok for someone other than law enforcement to carry a firearm on their grounds but that's not the case. There are several states that have business signs protected under law and I would suggest doing ones own research and not taking the advice from someone on the internet that thinks it's ok to ignore legal signs.

 

If anybody has a question about their state, you should be able to go to the Attny. General website for your state and see if those posted signs actually matter. Off the top of my head, I can tell you with 100% certainty that Texas, Ohio, Illinois, North/South Carolina, do support a business with a no gun sign if it meets the requirements set forth by the state. I'm sure there are several more, I just can't list them by memory. Either way, you can be cited if caught carrying a firearm where signs are posted stating they are not welcome.

 

Your statement about carrying a firearm into a bank is also not necessarily true. There are many municipalities across the country that do not allow a firearm to be carried inside a bank, credit union, or any institution that is FDIC insured, same goes for a post office. People should check their local laws on carrying in their bank as well. Don't listen to someone on the internet who feels they can go wherever they want with their gun, that's not true.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By KARNUT · Posted

      More is cylinder deactivation. Kia-Hyundai Ive had 4. The warranty is the same 10 years 100K miles. My grandson drives the first one 05 Elantra GT. My wife drives the second one 2011 Genesis. The Genesis still performs as new and looks great. The Elantra looks rough. He’s not kind to it. The third was a Genesis coup. The fourth was a Santa Fe. Those were my daily drivers. I don’t keep them long. Kia is the same as Hyundai with the same warranty. I looked at the K-4 today. Too small, otherwise pretty good buy. Most of Hyundai and Kia’s have a performance upgrade.

      Oil Consumption

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Great question. Answer....depends. One the volume of the crankcase, the driver that will actually be using the vehicle and the amount it uses plus the distance expected for that next trip. Couple of for instances:   Wife is going to drive Dizzy to Moline and back plus a bit around town so say 500 miles on the day. I know from years with that SUV that around town and local rural it uses about a quart in 1250 miles. But on the Interstate and her at the wheel without her anchor nagging her she'll push it and it will drop a quart in about 800 miles. Hence, around town I wait to somewhere between a quarter down to a quart down. On her trip I'd top it if it was down a few ounces and hope for the best.    Have I overfilled one? You mean by adding before it needs a full quart I assume. No, not once after finding the true fill mark.  I know the dipsticks of everything I drive and add what it needs. I learn this by doing the first oil change a quart low. Run the motor for a few minutes. Let it sit over night. Check and mark. Then add half a cup at a time making note of the place on the stick. I add through the dipstick tube with a barbeque basting bottle. Give it a few minutes to drain down and check again.    A vehicle like Dizzy that uses this much oil will take a few quarts between 3K changes. I keep one in the vehicle with the bottle and a bag. (Mindful of it's fullness) Not a big deal and never makes a mess of it. There is no such thing as "multiple quarts' in my shop for any specific oil. There will be a maximum however of the number of different oils used over the fleet.     Dizzy holds a nominal 5 quarts. So the first fill was indeed over as it actually took 4.75. My vehicles are fit with Valvomax valves so I can meter an ounce on the drain if need be. Found her mark first crack at it. Never to be repeated.    Pepper uses none between changes so I don't keep a quart in that one. Straight up 6 quarts put her dead on the full line. Check it ever fuel stop. They will surprise you when they start using.    Raven holds 3 liters or 5.44 ounces over three quarts. I add 3 quarts and 6 ounces. That gives me 5 oil changes on my orphan quart.    Lawnmower holds about 3/5 of a quart. I don't over fill it to prevent an orphan. So yea, depends.

      185k on original 6.2L engine and 10 speed. 6" lift with 35" tires. Changed oil (Mobil 1 synthetic) when truck told me to. Original tranny with original fluid and no service or flush done. All highway miles. A/C compressor replaced at 155k. Oil cooler line replaced at 180k. Still daily driver. Love this truck.   This is my 3rd 6.2L vehicle (2008 Yukon Denali / 2018 Cadillac Escalade) with over 150k miles and no issues. Denali had broken motor mount at 100k.
