I was at Midway Airport in Chicago Friday and saw an unusual amount of Chicago PD presence. They were every 100 yards at key locations wearing body armor over their uniforms, actively scanning the crowd.

I noticed that they were carrying all sorts of sidearms - glocks, 1911s, etc and one guy had a 44 magnum revolver.

I chatted with the 44 officer a bit and asked him about the sidearm differences. He said he liked the 44 and carried it when he could. He then asked where I was going. Was I in the military.

I said, No, heading back to Texas.

He then asked if I had a CHL.

I said, Sure.

He asked to see the license as he had not seen one. Showed it to him.

He said that's cool. Will never happen in Chicago, though.
