The State of Illinois does not register weapons and munitions purchases or otherwise identify whether or not you own a firearm. Although firmly opposed to gun registration in any form, I confess to being somewhat ambivalent on the FOID card's merits. That being said, I strongly oppose many of the State of Illinois' weapons restrictions, especially the ban on concealed carry and its opposition to "Castle Laws".

There are safety rules, and if somebody really wants to go nuts with one they can, but if it's just sitting there it's not going to do anything on its own. I learned to shoot a few years ago but these guys http://www.bayprofs.org/ had a good, inexpensive class that included range time if you have the urge to learn the basics. I did it just out of curiosity and realized I enjoyed target shooting and kept it up. They’re somewhat frightening in the way that a chainsaw is somewhat frightening.
