Good job. I intend to keep this thread bumped tomorrow so that many more IL residents can see it, and hopefully they will call in and vote. Any help by occasionally bumping the thread would be appreciated. We need as many votes as possible because the Cook county officials will no doubt swamp this vote if they can find a way to get every hoplophobic liberal bedwetter in IL to call in.

I don't live in IL myself, but I guess I just have a special grudge against IL's unconstitutional gun laws. That comes from the seven years when my son and his family lived in MO, and my wife and I often drove through IL when we went to visit them. I aways carry a pistol when I travel by car whether it's legal or not to do so where I intend to drive. When going through IL I was always on pins and needles because I was afraid I would be stopped for some minor traffic violation or maybe be involved in a traffic accident, and the trooper or cop might ask to search my car. If I had refused, which I would have, he/she could have gotten a warrant and found my gun, and I would have been heavily fined or something worse such as jail time or community service in a state where I don't live, and I'm sure that my favorite, 100% reliable, 60 year old 1911 .45acp would also have been confiscated in that kind of situation and that would have been the unkindest cut of all.
