Indians For Guns

Greetings to you in the Windy City, Jeet! There are a few of us here who know a little bit about Chicago. Your Cougar looks fine and we're anxious to see your rifle, when you get ready to post. Welcome to IFG.

Nice Gun, I have some good memories of Chicago . Welcome to the forum. I thought handguns were banned in Chicago how did you acquire one?

Thanks a million Tim for your kind greetings. I am really anxious to exchange my knowledge with you and the others on this wonderful site and stay connected to learn from you and the others more about firearms and their wonders. As far as Chicago goes, I just moved here about three years ago and am quite unfamiliar of it's design, but I can say that this state and city and its various suburbs are very well established and beautiful to be lived in.

The Cougar that I bought was based on a very tight budget. I wanted to buy a Beretta 92FS in 9mm and yet could not afford the $600+ price, so I wanted to buy the Ruger P95 which was very reasonably priced as well as accurate, but unfortunately it is either out of production or sold out as a whole! I hate striker fired pistols due to some embedded negative reviews in my mind, so I researched a little and found the best priced pistol would be the Stoeger Cougar in 9mm (although I was also looking for a +P firing gun like the High-Point C9 but fell short of buying it due to it's lesser accuracy). Bass Pro had it and as soon as e-mailed them to keep it aside for me they simply obliged. (Wonderful sales people) Last Thursday I had a dental surgery (and the stitches are still exiting my mouth every once a while) and on the following Friday (still partially high on Oxycodone) I drove down to Bass Pro and paid for the Stoeger and a Mossberg MVP Patrol in 5.56 X 45mm / .223 NATO rifle.

Why the Mossberg you may ask Tim? You wont because I know you know the answer. Yup my friend, it can intake an AR-15 / 30 round mag as well, and 5.56 will never be out of stock anywhere, plus I can use a .223 round in it's mag as well, is accurate and well reviewed online and has a decent price (paid $660.00 + tax). I will be posting a picture of it soon here when I create a blog based on it and lets read some more reviews from those who already own it.

I had also requested for a .308 rifle on my budget and was given an option of buying a Savage XP Axis in .308, but then I thought I should have some control over my expenses too. I had already bought $158.00 worth of 9mm, 5.56 X 45mm and .223 ammo.

(Bass Pro has a box of 9mm (100 rounds) Winchester Target ammo selling for $27.99 a box as you read this)

Well Tim, that's my intro and lets hope to hear from you soon my friend. I am about to head for my room and take a picture of the Mossberg in order to post it here my friend.

Wishing you well.

Thanks captrakshitsharma and I must correct you. Handguns weren't banned in Chicago, concealed carry was. FOID card holders could always own a handgun or a rifle of any caliber or capacity, except for Cook County (main Chicago). Now that has changed quite a bit since CCW has been voted for "yes".

Thanks again and would love to hear from you more about F&A's.

Here's a picture of my new Mossberg MVP Patrol in 5.56 X 45mm / .223 NATO without the scope ofcourse. Sincerely my friends, I have never used a scope and am not much of a fan of scopes either. (Guys, I still use a double sided razor, a shaving brush and soap for shaving. May be I am old styled eh? I am 47 after all!)

Umm...Isn't Chicago the County Seat for Cook County? .... and was it not legal to own handguns in Cook Cty (prior to the lawsuit)?
So wasn't what CaptrakshitSharma said, a correct statement?
