One can actually carry a concealed weapon in Chicago now, did 3/4 of this thread miss the news a year ago? It's great how people jump immediately to the conclusion that supports their predetermined idea.
Chicago can be a messed up city, though. Most of the people in these bad areas are hardworking and otherwise perfectly alright people. All but a few of these neighborhoods still have a lot of life left in them, it's a shame that a smattering of crazy people is all it takes to make living hard for everyone.
For one, you have no clue what you are talking about. No one can carry a concealed weapon in Chicago, no one can open carry in Chicago or even the rest of the state of Illinois. Chicago lifted the handgun ban but that does not allow for carrying of a firearm in any way shape or form. As a matter of fact, it doesnt even allow a person to have a loaded weapon on them in their own yard.
As long as it's not in the upscale shopping/tourist areas then no one cares.
It will be reported, but nothing will be done to address the underlying problem causing all these shootings.
Its a by product of being poor with nothing left to lose where gang membership becomes the norm.
As jobs become ever increasingly difficult to find for inner city inhabitants (For Now) expect more of the same and a growing spectrum of gang violence to spread beyond the inner cities..
This "guns for all" idea of the NRA isn`t working very well.You think?
