I grew up from age 11-21 in a far western suburb of Chicago. Spent a bunch of time in the city and saw the unbelievably corrupt Illinois politics and Daley "machine" in action. When I was older, I'd go into gun shops and the guy behind the counter couldn't even figure out how to operate a 1911 to lock the slide back and show it to me (same issue with the police "inspection" in Michigan, but that's another story....). These people (in the cities) are completely clueless about firearms. They are like many from the east and west coast; they fear guns, and don't understand why anyone would need one. Different story once you get out into the farmlands. In fact, in that region, given the rate of heart attacks, they should post a NO BRATWURST sign at the entrance to every building - the brat should be WAY more feared than the gun....;)
