Laugh if you must. But criminals are such law-abiding types, it just might work.
And if it doesn’t, just make people carry an excessive amount of insurance.
Hat tip: Second City Cop.
Well, at least someone is making an attempt to recognize that the 2nd Amendment applies to Illinois:
The legislators say the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling last summer overturning a handgun ban in Washington D.C. and an endorsement of concealed carry by the Illinois Sheriffs’ Association gives a boost to their efforts.
Republican state Rep. Bill Mitchell says he wants concealed weapons legislation to finally get a hearing in the House.
Supporters of such legislation say the bill would allow citizens to get permits to carry concealed firearms, but only after gun owners complete an extensive application process, including training courses in handgun use, safety and marksmanship.
My two cents: We have members of No Love walking around armed because they have no intention of obeying the law. It’s time otherwise law-abiding citizens are allowed to do the same.
But I wouldn’t count on it. There’s a lot to like about Governor Quinn, but I don’t see him OR the current legislature approving this. Better to take it to court before President Obama can appoint anti-gun judges.
That court decision is discussed here.
I offer the following, without editorial comment:
Sen. Joe Biden has received an “F” from a pro 2nd Amendment group. Good luck attracting those middle-of-the-road, blue-color voters, Joe. You know, the ones who are thinking of voting for pro-2nd Amendment John McCain.
