Thank you for posting this information. Unfortunately, there are thousands of cases like this in Chicago/Cook County.

I was told this weekend by several members of CPD (at a party) that "we have no problem with you carrying, but we don't want the blacks carrying". I asked what is the difference between me, a white 40-something woman, homeowner, wants to protect family & property, law abiding citizen and a black 40-something woman, homeowner, wants to protect family & property, also a law abiding citizen?

I did't get an answer other than "well, you know" and a change of subject.

Carrying is a hot button issue with all of us Freepers in the People's Republic of Illinois. I don't know how to ping by state, otherwise I would.

I believe JustPiper has the Chicagoland/Illinois ping list.

Just being able to own a gun is a concern if you live anywhere near Crook County.
