Since Illinois started granting concealed carry permits this year, the number of robberies that have led to arrests in Chicago has declined 20 percent from last year, according to police department statistics. Reports of burglary and motor vehicle theft are down 20 percent and 26 percent, respectively. In the first quarter, the city’s homicide rate was at a 56-year low.

Yet, because we have children shooting children it's all a big, huge problem on the nooz around here (at least the radio nooz).   I think it's all a "Hey, we're worse then Ferguson" mixed in with blaming CCW/Gun owners/the NRA and a side of "Hey, you;'re embarrassing Obama, knock it off."

Anyway, it's hard to figure the liberal angle other then the Gunowners/NRA = BAD !!!!!

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.
