Mark of Shame

11 Federal Legislators have written a letter telling Illinois lawmakers to get their heads out of their @sses regarding CCW.
"Exceptionalism can often be a positive thing, but in this case it is a mark of shame,"
I'm glad to say that my Rep was one of the signers.
"Public safety has been and continues to be one of Governor Quinn's top priorities, which is why he is opposed to allowing people to carry loaded, concealed handguns in public places, such as college campuses, parks, malls and our city streets," the governor's office said in a prepared statement Friday" (ed. while surrounded by tax-payer funded security).
The police (outside of Chicago leadership) are for it. The overwhelming majority of people (outside of Chicago/leadership) are for it. We are not a third world country where one city controls everything. And when the lawsuits come through, it's going to work against Quinn et al as CCW is determined to be part of the RKBA.

It's a shame that Rep. AK got gerrymandered into Rep JJ district....

If the Second City Cop blog is to be believed, most of the rank-and-file police officers in Chicago support CCW as well.

I'm happy to see my Rep. did as well. Or our rep., if you live in the same district as me.
