I figure in five years it will be illegal to own a firearm in Illinois.

I used to believe that too, until I met all the hundreds of protesters. I have never seen such a coordinated and energetic group. And this is in the most liberal area of the state!

No, complete gun bans will not occur statewide in Illinois in my lifetime.

That can be read two ways.

Now if you can figure out to get a shall issue law past good ole daly and the rest of the social fascists, might believe you.

Well, I would say the most liberal areas of the state are Chicago proper (err, improper) and Urpaign/Chambana.

The political table tilts rightward proportional to your distance west of the city. Actually, in almost any direction with the possible exception of north. And maybe east, where a lot of the Demovoters reside. (I didn't say "live!")
