Yes I'm from the only state in the Union that does not have some type of CCW, yet. I've always been a big fan of Ruger. Currently I own a SR1911, a 10/22, a mini 14 and a Gunsite Scout Rifle. Love them all. I just wish we had some shooting ranges around here so I could play with my boys.
Welcome from Texas! Kinkaid Il? In my youth, I spent a lot of time at the lake. Most of it at the spillway on the Murphysboro end. Lots of fond memories from that place!
