Re: Traveling With Arms through Illinois

???? I-55 runs from St.Louis to Chicago thru Illinois. As long as your stuff is unloaded, cased, and in the trunk you will have no problems.

Re: Was just testing my rounds and....

I believe that this test is to be done by actually firing the gun to see if the charge is signifigent to cycle. Too weak of a charge will cause stove piping of the spent brass.
