I am very glad for you in that, but for this: Don’t you feel that a required record would be where confiscation by government would start?
they probably have him on the re-education list already for his good posts here over the years…. ;-P
There's no doubt I'd prefer a Constitutional Carry state. That's not what we have. No, it's not "perfect" but from where we were which was "no conceal/carry & a complete handgun ban in Chicago and many municipalities" Illinois has come literally light years.
I expect over time a further loosening will occur, based on last weeks 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling in California. Illinois has even stricter CCW restrictions than California has, thus I expect "loosening" of the CCW laws here.
If I had done that which you're implying along with others on this thread, I'd either (a)continue violating the law as I have been since 1998/1999 illegally conceal-carrying and risking jail time OR (b)not achieved my certification and not conceal/carried at all.
One option lands me in jail, the other option lands me potentially in the morgue.
No thank you, I don't like either of those two options. Those nattering naybobs of negativity who screech Illinois law isn't "perfect" I agree with the sentiment, I DISAGREE on waiting/doing nothing until the law is "perfect."
Not gonna happen here. I'll take what I can get, which again, is LIGHT YEARS ahead of where this state was just last year.
