My weekend carrying while in Chicago.

Italian? I recommend Petterino's. Sure, it looks cheesy but great food.

One of those places you have to go just so you can cross it off the list.

Anytime. I lived in Chicago 3 years for school.

Lots of changes in the city. E.g., I lived near Greektown which was warehouses and SROs. Now it's full of yuppies, coffee houses, lofts and granite counters.

However, I still get back from time to time.

I can't imagine being able to carry anywhere anytime without constantly worrying if I'm violating some obscure state or local law. Spasmo says I need to join up.

Just Curious

Denny,

Sounds like you had a great time in Chi Town, been a while since we were there.

Just out of curiosity, please excuse my ignorance, but what does the FAR in the following quote mean? Or, am i reading too much into it?

"In all seriousness, it is a very strange feeling knowing that I'm in the FAR minority of people with guns while I'm there. In Indiana...lots of people around me are carrying. In NYC or Chicago I have to make sure that I carry and do not print lest I have to deal with a jumpy public. They are much more jumpy about these things than even our "soccer moms" here in Indiana. I don't need the hastle."

Again, thanks again and have a great day,

Steve

:fawk:

I guess that is the perk you get to justify all the LEO bashing.

Your reading too much into it...the problem with these types of communications IMO. I guess I could have found a better phrase. What I meant by saying that was that I was not in a minority of people that carry in Chicago but and EXTREME minority=exceedingly few. IF I had just said minority, that could mean anything up to 50%. I wanted to emphasize how small the group was, that's all.

 

[Denny347]

Too much popcorn is bad for your health Bill.

But is it better than Lou Malnati's Pizza?

I prefer Giordanos over on Rush street.
That place and the museums are just about the only redeeming things in Chi town. Oh, and the Chicago dogs... mmmmmm.

The calamari at Giordanos is great too!

Giordano's, Chicagos World Famous Stuffed Pizza

You can get them mail order shipped on dry ice.
Can't get the ones with meat shipped though, store only.

Probably tastes about the same.......


I was doing good to just remember the same.

 

[public servant]

I feel taunted.


Have I been taunted?



I'm pretty sure I was taunted here.

OMG! My wife and I ALWAYS hit up Giordano's when we go to Chi-town. Best pizza I've had.

Anyways, to the OP... you suck. lol. When I was a reserve, I could use my ID for that, but no longer. Sad day.

 

[groovatron]

I love greektown!!!!!

 

[dwh79]

I like aurelios (sp?) pizza and being able to truly have my freedom of the second amendment almost has me quitting my day job to become an officer.

Denny,

Thanks for taking the time to reply, I appreciate it.

Take Care,

Is it me, or do I feel as though I am being discriminated against just because I choose to carry a handgun with me. I do NOT understand why a LEO has more rights than a civilian. Sounds like discrimination to me, either give us ALL the ability to carry, OR NO ONE the ability to carry, LEO included. Now, this would not apply if a LEO were on official business or on duty at the time. But all Off-Limits places schools, day car centers, Illinois, wherever it is not legal for a civilian to carry, then LEO should be under the same restrictions unless on duty.
