"Moreover, Illinois requires 16 hours of training and a valid Firearms Owner Identification Card before someone can get a concealed carry permit."

16 hours? That's crazy.

It’s 16 hours out of your time and 200 bucks of your money that is entirely unnecessary. I do support training to prove competence with a firearm, but I think that more than 4 or at the outside, 8 hours, is indefensible. All this for a RIGHT.

The Chicago Sum-Times once again shows it’s questionable journalism and why it’s circulation is rapidly dwindling.

Exactly, and it will cost almost $2000 to get the permit.

Illinois’ democrat legislators are actively suppressing poor peoples’ ability to defend themselves.
