CHICAGO—A veteran Illinois state senator was arrested Wednesday after allegedly trying to board a flight from Chicago to Washington with a gun and ammunition in a carry-on bag, authorities said. Sen. Donne Trotter, a Chicago Democrat who recently announced he would run to replace Jesse Jackson Jr. in the U.S. House, was carrying an unloaded .25-caliber Beretta handgun and a magazine clip with six bullets when he tried to board a flight at O'Hare International Airport, according to Chicago police.

.25 caliber?

Dangerous round - to the guy who uses it!

Like my wife’s firearm instructor told her: “If you shoot someone with a .25, and they find out about it, they going to be mad at you.”

It will be like Caligula making his horse a senator of Rome.

That is kind like all the donkeys we have in the Demorats.

“We all know what kind of person will be elected from a district that reelected JJ jr.”

Yeah, they are both pond scum! Just the right kind of “black leader” to replace JJJr, and stay in the seat until they die or get arrested for some crime or another.

Republicans are not allowed in Chicago,what do you think all the shootings are about.
Looks like Sen. Trotter wanted to take the show on the road.

Having said that, however, at least it satisfies the #1 rule of a gunfight: “Bring a gun.”
But barely.

This is what I mean when I say CC is coming to Illinois. Dump Quinn and it’s a reality.
