1st Illinois License Holder Arrested

[Smokepole]

I'd say based on the following quote that the local media and the local police will be looking for anything and any reason to vilify gun owners that carry:

A 54-year-old Northwest Side man who allegedly pulled a gun during a property dispute is the first concealed carry permit holder arrested in Chicago, police officials say.

Sounds like they are anticipating many more. Looking forward to many more maybe?

And it looks as though they must be registered to own a gun

O’Connell was carrying a valid state firearm owner’s identification card and a concealed carry license

That's a bunch of horse doo doo!

This is why I paint the tips of all my of firearms orange. "He-he, it was just squirt-gun!"

I'm never surprised when someone from Chicago does or says something to ruin it for the rest of us.

Argue all you want but you are wasting your time here because the other employees in the store started bashing gun rights after the incident. My Son in law set them straight that this guy was an idiot and should have his LTCH revoked.

didn't know Illinois had an LTCH I knew they had CCW but the LTCH is news to me .......sorry I had to say it.

Just look at who the people in Chicago keep electing. That should tell it all. Jim.

Natural attrition taking effect. What a moron.

This is just another attempt to demonize gun owners.

What amazes me is that the Sun Times seems to be the only news agency that actually did a story on this. I would expect in a place like Chicago that there would have been more.
