I currently live in Illinois so no conceal and carry. The republican candidate for govenor says he would back a conceal law but all we can do is vote. I hope that if Chicago looses it's ban things will change.I was young, impressionable, and going to a public middle school in a nice, quiet suburb outside of Chicago. And, as everyone knows, it's just common sense that only bad guys would carry guns. When asked to pick a topic for a research paper, I decided I would write all about the wonders of gun control.
As it happens, I had a friend who greatly disagreed with my position. Being the argumentative type, the challenge was on! Of course, after a little research into relative crime rates of carry permit holders, average police response times, etc. etc., I ended up writing a very different paper than I originally intended.
I learned three life lessons:
1. I no longer believe what authority figures tell me until I do my own research on the matter.
2. I picked up a carry permit as soon as I moved out of Illinois.
3. I may be argumentative as ****, but I can admit when I'm wrong.
