Great videos. Long ago, I moved outta Illinois, but have the unfortunate issue of family still there. Dad, former Marine, would hate to see the shape Illinois is in these days. I am the only son of an only son , so I have the only "gun habit" in the family, but I am grateful I live in a State where farmers and hunters have more guns than criminals and the crime rate shows that. Stay safe and stay trained, folks! On the positive,, still know a LOT of Illinois officers, and they aren't real strict on "idiot policies". :)

This came up in my feed so I watched you . Let me say I can’t believe the hoops and obstacles you have meet to own a firearm. I open carry sometimes and was doing that a few weeks ago with my suppressor on my weapon . I forgot I was wearing it when I went to my bank to deposit some cash . I didn’t realize it till I reached around to get my wallet . Nobody including the teller gave a darn . You know why ? Because I live in the free state of Missouri. It’s normal .
