What is my potential financial/legal liability if I have the IL removed? I live in Arizona but travel to many states and would carry it. I have come across a 640-3 (IL) at a good price.

As recently as 2009, I purchased a Ruger GP100 (.357 magnum) in Los Angeles county, and it simply came with a padlock --which Ruger happened to provide-- that fits through one of the chambers of the open cylinder. If the manufacturer does not send a lock with the gun, the dealer is required to sell you some sort of padlock or cable lock at the time you purchase / take possession of the handgun. On my Ruger, the included lock doesn't even work if the cylinder is closed, but this still meets the legal requirements. By the way, my 4" barrel stainless steel GP100 is a great gun, very accurate, and very heavy duty. Last time I was at an outdoor range, I was knocking over bowling pins out past 75 yards!
