Well guys sorry for the miss guided rant entitled "I will never buy another Smith & Wesson product". I should have slept on it a day before posting. I did not make an account just to come on here and complain. Sorry for making a butt of myself, and I'm usually a humble person. I just suffered a terrible loss of a close family member and this was just something to push me over the edge. I love Smith & Wesson and would never trust my life to anything different. I carry a shield and my fiancee carries a M&P 40 as her duty sidearm. Just purchased this m&p 9 as a main sidearm. My lash out at the company was an incorrect one and not a reflection of my true nature. I have since removed my video to save me from looking like an idiot and bashing the good name of S&W. I hate that Cook county has ruined my state. As well as the welfare zombies that reside in it. I attend IGOLD every year, attend local NRAILA meetings, and write reps an congressmen constantly. When I could be doing something fun with my family I find myself doing this instead. A lot!! I will leave my state when it turns into a complete waste but not till I've fought to the end. There are a lot of great people here. We just need to get them in the right places. We gun owners in Illinois fought tooth and nail and finally got CCW. Were not stopping there. The reason I got super heated about capping this promotion to all of Illinois, is it had a eery foreshadow of an all out ban of sale of standard cap mags to Illinois. When this happens the scum legislators don't need to ban them. The disturbers did it for them. That's what I mean by the loss of rights. In this state we have a problem with rumor laws. It's kinda like a folk lore you hear and in a small town. It eventially becomes truth. That's how these mouth breathers up here operate. It's sort of like common law marriage. once you have been with them for so long you are recognized by the state as being married. Same here, spread a false law and soon enough its common law. Even being selectively enforced by law enforcement! I would have bought the gun anyways I'm not hurting for money by any means. I really did assume that Illinois as a whole would not have been restricted. Usually sales specifically restrict to cook count only. I assumed this was going to be the case and had no reason to believe different. So i never even checked. Nobody else has done that yet!! I'll just take the 10 rounders and conserve ammo that way. Heck they cost more anyways. I'll buy plenty of 17 rounders at a decent cost locally. Thanks for listening to me ramble. God Bless!!

This is all that needed to be said. Save the rest for the politicians of Illinois. Things might be bad in Illinois, but I am sure there are other states out there that are just as bad if not worse.

I too am sorry for your loss and hope you can return to the forum with positive input we all need from time to time. This is a great group of people! Take care and happy shooting - Rick
 
Thanks Don and Rick that means a lot. You guys are a great bunch of guys for sure. Ive just recently joined the forum. But i have lurked it for years for info :).

I don't even remember what your rant was about. AND we're better off that way.

My condolences for your loss.

Welcome to the forum.
 
Apology accepted. A person has to rant every now & then & as a retired Army First Sergeant I've heard plenty of them in my day, LOL. Usually I was the butt of them.

I'm very sorry for your loss.
 
It speaks well of your character to apologize. Just leave out politics and you'll do fine.

Sorry for your loss and the resulting overflow. Sometimes that happens. Try to remember to step back and take a few deep breaths until the worst passes. Good luck. :)
 
I am sorry also for your loss and hope things brighten up!
Politics aside, I am a native of Illinois too! So... I can understand your
distain!

There are plenty of other online gun vendors that will ship to Cook County. The Cook County mag. restriction only pertains to rifles and not to handguns.
 
Allthingsmanly, I'm sorry for your loss. M29since14 said it, 'step back & breath until the worst passes'. Not to say that things can't still go sideways, hopefully just not so far. Welcome, fairly new myself, but there seems to be mostly good & intelligent people here with a willingness to share their experience and knowledge.
 
Hey, now you can accumulate infraction points. Can't be a member in good standing unless you are waiting for at least one to expire. Joe

I had soda run out my nose while drinking and ready this! So yes I did LOL after I quit choking that is.

Until I joined this forum I had never heard of the point system on Forums.
 
I understand. I grew up in TX, and always wanted to go back someday. I then found that their gun laws are more backward than where I live, which just passed constitutional carry and knife reform. I have been here a long time, my wife refuses to move, and though TX just passed open carry you still have to have a permit to carry there.
 
Sorry for your loss. I was always told when you are about to go on a rant get all the facts together and before you do anything sleep on it and think it over. That has saved me from some embarrassment. Remember it takes a big person to admit their wrong.

Ah, another victim of Crook County politics. I left there in 2005 and haven't looked back. Now I just need to get out of Hellinois entirely and I'll be golden.

Sorry for your loss, and welcome to the forum.
 
LOL you guys are a hoot! Thanks for all your kind words. If there is one thing I absolutely wont do, is leave a bad impression. I might make one, but i'll try my best not to leave it with someone haha!!
