It has passed.


http://my.chicagotribune.com/#sectio.../?related=true

I have read it and it has the usual restrictions to government control property ie parks, museums, public transportation, courts, city hall etc. Additionally, sporting venues, schools and establishments who's sales of alcohol exceeds 50%.

There are some exceptions. It allows for storing it in the vehicle when parking at and transiting said properties (begging for car burglaries).

The crux of it all is having a city Concealed carry law (CCL) permit and a state firearms card.

IMHO. There is lots of room for litigation on the restrictions. I'm not familiar with other CCW laws, but for Chicago this is a huge game changer.

As for the CPD comments, please don't confuse the police with political hacks. I've never served in the military, but I'm sure the current political leadership doesn't reflect the sacrifice and dedication of its members.

Thank you for the amendment.

I will admit, it's an embarrassment having these fools as our leaders.

Another Step in the right direction

I do believe the impending law suits may have caused an epiphany.

They already own the the south and west sides. The Taliban supplies the opiate for heroin and have the corner stores providing intelligence. Furthermore, even they know its safer in provinces than the ghetto.

Can I earn cross thread points for suggesting they take those Warrior Cop SWAT teams from NASA, EPA and PETA and give them something "real" to do in my town?

Someone here mentioned its not the idea of SWAT that was the issue, but the application. Well, we've gots lots to do here in Obama's and Rahm's utopia.

There are 42 public pistol lanes within 30 miles of my home at 5 ranges. Illinois CCW training is going to be slowwww. And $20/hour range fee? And to add insult in injury some make you use their ammo and no picking up brass. Oh well, maybe my XDS will be back by the time my table is ready.

Hey, just a thought given the mall ninjas at the lgs who've applied for instructor certification. I could go into business myself! I once mailed some Kelly McCann "Defensive Pistol" DVDs to NousDefionsDoc when he was SOTB. You think it would be ok if I advertised that I supplied a training program to Special Forces cadre?

Sorry, I'm afraid you're overqualified. Unlike the usual bottom feeders you actually did something that contributed to a QP's nefarious purposes. I'm reasonably certain that makes you ineligible to play.

But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
