I live in Illinois and the right to carry should be in place for us law abiding citizen. The government only shows what the criminals are doing with hand guns. They use shooting by criminals to detour our legislation on passing any right to carry laws so they don’t have to give us the to protect ourselves. I think its about time that we start posting all the good things about the right to carry. Truly if we have the right to carry criminals will think twice before trying to rob or burglarize some ones home or property. Criminals will still have firearms and will continue to commit crimes with firearms. We as law abiding citizens deserve the right to protect our family and our persons. We are asking the Illinois legislation to pass the right to carry in Illinois.
As of 2/21/09 there have been ten U.S. service members killed in ALL of Iraq, in February, in January there were 16 U.S. Service Members killed in Iraq and 20 homicides in Chicago, think about that for a minute, the City of Chicago is more dangerous than the entire Iraqi conflict zone and if it wasn't for the extreme winter weather, the number of homicides in Chicago would surely have been higher.
Superintendent Jody Weis would have you believe that the numbers of homicides in January were low because of enhanced policing in various hot spots around Chicago, well winter is coming to an end, there are 1600 less Chicago Police on the street than there really should be, the economy is circling the drain, and I for one am not looking forward to the crime and murder wave that will be kicking in when the weather gets better.
I know Mayor Daley will do everything in his power to prevent Illinois citizens from concealed carry and will counter that threat by adding those blue light cameras on every corner in Chicago, emulating London, the criminals don't care if they are spotted on the CCTV cameras, The 7/7 London bombers were captured on a number of cameras during their dry run and on the day of the bombings, A lot of good that did, Even the London police have said that after spending Billions on cameras, they are only able to solve less than 3% of crime with them.
If any of you think I'm pulling your leg, all this information is publicly available, I hope the anti-CCW crowd here can come up with some bright ideas, Maybe call Father Fleger in for another junk gun buy-back program, (Doubt that will get an AK-47 off the street) you would hope with the $342,000 a year Daley is paying Superintendent Weis, that he'd have some magic ideas to stem the gun violence and crime in Chicago, because keeping the law-abiding citizens of Illinois unarmed, the Chicago Police understaffed, and letting the scumbag homicide inclined animals have run of city is working so well. Contact your local and state representative and let them know there job depends on the passing of bill 245.
