Goes to show Illinois is another example of the big difference between northern and southern halves, like California and Italy.
Good. It’s stupid and serves no purpose other than to separate us from $15.00 very 5 years. The next step should be to lower the insane cost of $150 for a CCL.

It isn’t mentioned in the article, but Costello is a Democrat. His father was a former congressman. When Costello the younger first ran for the legislature, he made it a point that he was running against “Chicago politicians.” I haven’t followed his career to see how he has done. I do know his father was a reliable pro-life supporter.

One of the only states in the union that does such a foolish thing. Glad I am outta IL.
New York was as bad (or worse) on pistols. Glad I am outta NY.
Georgia is freakin’ awesome. :)
