As I read it, this ended up being Chicago vs the rest of IL. Normally the Chicago pols can get some of the others to side with them, but not so in this case. Hope the non-Chicago legislators can keep their backbone.Oldgringo wrote:In Illinois, the 'powers that be' wrote these laws and, the 'powers that be' in Illinois are in Chicago.sparkyfender wrote:Yep, I would cut them some slack.
The limits and restrictions severely curtail the right to carry, but it is much better than what they had, which was nothing.
The rest of the state finally bucked corrupt Chicago, and Chicago had to be dragged kicking and screaming into the world of firearm rights. I do believe things will get better for Illinois, and I hope the momentum keeps going. It will really suck if the powers that be backslide.

Re: We are bad places you can't Cary in Texas.
Give them a break. They're 20 years behind the times. I would imagine they're following the course laid out about 45 times. That being get a chl program up & running. Then after a time where the streets aren't running with blood, start to slowly chip away at the restrictions. If they are diligent and persistent, they'll end up with a pretty good situation.
