FILE THIS UNDER "LEARNING SOMTHING NEW EVERY DAY IN ILLINOIS".

I picked up a new firearm yesterday.  This of course was post background investigation via the ISP, post legislated waiting period prior to taking possession of the firearm and post answering 4 pages of inquiries on the spot.  I was surprised to learn that I would be required to answer two more questions and sign my name on a separate form with photo copies of my FOID card and IL D/L before I could take possession or even touch the firearm.  Those two questions and my answers were:

Q1:  What is your employment status and 

Q2:  How do you intend to use this weapon.

A1:  Retired.

A2:  I intend to use this weapon in the defense of our Constitutional Republic and the preservation of my Constitutional rights to LIFE, LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS.
