    Pity me, bros

    So, I get this sweet deal on a CMPicon service grade, from a local guy, it is beautiful, but my FFL is out of town. The thing is literally sitting at his house, right now.

    I could be shooting it, but nooooo.

    I truly with the ATF would hurry up and approve my C&R app.

    I am looking for some sympathy.

    Oh, and to make it even more painful, I could have done a FTF purchase, but...he lives in the People's Republic of Illinois, so...noooooo, I can't just get it.

    He is an upstanding local lawyer, law abiding citizen, and I'm a local law abiding citizen, who live in the great state of Missouri, where we actually believe in the second amendment of the USAicon's Constitution.

    But...there you go.

    As I said in the post that started this thread, the seller is in Illinois. I can not travel into Illinois to buy a gun, FTF, and he can not sell it to me, as a citizen, of Illinois, in Missouri.

    I believe long guns were added several years ago to the list

    An Illinois resident can not do a FTF without a major hassle for the buyer.

    Check your facts.
