i guess this means you can't shoot dogs with them?

the guns making the prohibited in chicago as "unsafe" include a veritable who's who of 19th and early 20th century classic revolvers from various junkers to such notables as frank wesson, maltby, ethan allen, etc. modern additions to the list include jennings, bryco, and hi-point (all cheap autoloaders). also included are walthers, unique, and any FIE handgun, most of which are single action 22 rf cowboy style revolvers.

this list was obviously written by someone who knows absolutely nothing about guns. either that, or it was written by a pro gun mole inside the $hitcago administration whose sole purpose in listing nearly non-existent historical artifacts was to generate a volume of "prohibiteds" to satisfy an elected official who doesn't know a barrel from a buttstock.

Wow!

With Bryco, Hi-Point, Jennings, Jiminez and Lorcin off that list... what are thugs supposed to carry now?

Once again a case of "let's make it illegal so the criminals can't have them." Uh.... are criminals really going to register their throw-aways?

And the P-22? Come on!

Probably one of the safest little pistols out there. That thing has like 8 safety systems on it. Obvioulsy the Superintendent is not a shooter.

I smell a law suit coming from those gun manufacturers. After all, Hi-Point offers a lifetime warranty with their pistols. How could they do that if it was unsafe?

Says they can't be registered. So I suppose that means you can just carry them freely!

What's a hundgun?

What's a hundgun?

It's for shooting the German dogs, obviously.

[slim 1,533]

After seeing the picture of that Hi-Point, I'm wondering why they didn't ban Glocks as well.

What's a hundgun?

It's an inanimate mechanical device.

My responses are many and varied, not being one ignorant of firearms...

1. Why would you want bad guys armed with good guns?

2. ANY loaded gun pointed in my direction is dangerous.

3. YES it is dangerous to carry a M1911 cocked and locked...THAT's the point of doing it!

Obviously Chicago is going to test the limits of what can and can't be banned. I guess they feel someone has to do it. I am surprised they didn't take everything out except a TC Contender! But wait....how many guns would THAT be?

an M1911? you mean the swiss bolt action military rifle?

funny part about the list is that it includes soem highly collectable antiques that were well manufactured and are worth thousands of dollars. not exactly what you would see gnag bangers walking around with. most of teh guns on the list haven't been available even to collectors since the 1940's.

Its an odd list...

I went to find my favorite manufacturer (sig sauer)and they only banned the mosquito? Why would they ban a 22 but allow the heavier models. Odd indeed!

standard based on physical size. stupid standard, as the mosquito is importable under GCA '68.

I'm not a firearms expert but the whole thing is insulting to intelligence since firearms are designed to be dangerous. Handguns, in specific, are almost solely used for killing people. Although there are recreational uses, that's what they are designed to do. The whole purpose and point of this list is to prevent law abiding citizens from having access to the most effective of these weapons. The incompetence of the parties compiling the list is another issue all together.

Living inside Chicago city limits, I'm going to go buy a piece. Seriously. I figure I'll apply for the permit and qualify for the mandatory training soon and hope the 120 day processing delay gets shortened soon, although quite a few folks are heading over to Police HQ on S. Michigan Ave to get their stuff started. Too bad there isn't a mental testing requirement yet.

Then, as a law abiding citizen, I'll feel much better about defending my home. I'll just ignore the fact that 3 exemplary police officers have been gunned down in less than two months here, with guns on them, and hope I get off my shots before the criminals do in case they come to get me.

I also regret not having bought those cowboy boots and hat when I was down in Nashville in May.

you will remember that Patton said, "War isn't about dying for your country, son. It's about making some other sumbitch die for his."

handguns are not specifically designed for killing someone, as much as for defending one's life, at any cost to the offender.

Knowing you and judging from the tone of your post I'm seeing sarcasm so I will respond under that assumption (if I'm mistaken, disregard this post).

Why does the fact that "3 exemplary police officers have been gunned down in less than two months" inspire you to not carry a gun? I could certainly understand why it would inspire some to leave Chicago or inspire you to train up on firearms. But assuming you plan to stay there, why do you simply give up instead of carrying a gun and having a fighting chance? If all the law-abiding citizens are carrying guns, at least one of them will hopefully be standing behind the criminal. If they had always had that kind of backup, maybe 3 exemplary officers would still be alive.
