That's the poll question is today's John Kass column in the Chicago Tribune. How can APS members NOT vote in this poll on the left hand side of the column.

Interesting piece.
I liked this comment but he needed to add a line.
The only state. And that's really embarrassing. Taxpayers in 49 other states get to carry guns under their jackets. But in Illinois, only our criminals carry.
He needed to add criminals and police carry guns but in much of the state that is redundant"

There's enough cliches in that article that, if you strung them together, you could create an entire Sarah Brady speech. But the author put them in a good light.
Having carried openly very often, and carried concealed all the time for years, I'll still take concealed any time.
I'm beginning to wonder if Illinois will forever be a no-carry state. Chicago is much more powerful politically than Milwaukee, Madison and other WI liberal enclaves that were against CCW.
