Ill-Annoy
Greetings from behind the lines in the peoples republic of IL. I am a humble servant of the citizens of C(r)ook County. What I can add is that there are, believe it or not, a sizeable fraction of the population that supports the 2nd ammendment, as well as concealed carry. The alleged republican party in IL is apparently unable to develop the testicular capacity to get anyone elected to office. Daley and Bagojeivich (sp?) are at least fighting among themselves, which is good for us. As one of the blessed few that does have the legal ability to defend myself with a gun, (And I have, no less than 3 times in 10 years) I can sympathize. We struggle here, and we do the best we can with the corruption and idiocy that we are stuck with.
When the city was looted during the bulls championships in 91, 92 and 93, I got calls from people who wanted to know if I had any ammo to spare "if things get outa hand"... While I did have some, you can bet I wasnt the only one. When it goes bad in chicago, (and it will!) only the well prepared will be capable of defending their homes and families.
By the same token, as it stands, I agree with those who hate IL. We have an incredible amount of corruption in chicago and cook county in general, along with the Gestapo like Tollway authority. When I can retire, I will be taking the retirement checks to some other more gun friendly state. Until then, we work against the mis-informed.
