    Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart, with full support of Chicago Mayor Rahm Emmanuel, will be denying carry permits for Cook County/Chicago residents. The problems with his exemptions is that they are based on arrests and not on convictions. While people with clean arrest records will likely pass through his net, people wrongly arrested (detained) will be denied.

    NRA Press Release said:
    December 17, 2013


    Illinoisans can begin applying next month for the state’s first-ever permits to carry concealed firearms. But the Cook County Sheriff complains to FOX 32 News that the system to screen those applicants is full of holes. Unless the system is fixed, Sheriff Tom Dart says he’s prepared to take extraordinary action to prevent permits from being granted to anyone with a serious arrest record.

    FOX 32 has learned that Sheriff Dart sent a letter to the director of the Illinois State Police announcing his “blanket objection” to granting a concealed carry permit to anyone who’s been arrested even once in the last seven years for domestic violence, a gang-related crime or illegal gun possession. Even if they haven’t been convicted, Dart says, those charges are “red flags” that need to be pursued. […]

    “I gotta imagine we’ll be objecting to hundreds, easily thousands of people,” Dart told FOX 32’s Mike Flannery. “What we’re gonna have is this massive influx of the applications. And they’re gonna be given out. And we’re just left holding the bag when the inevitable bad thing will happen. It happens in other states. And in other states they also have people who are armed who stop crimes. It happens both ways, I understand that. But when the inevitable bad thing happens, people will say, ‘Why wasn’t this person caught?’”


    That's right : you haven't even been convicted of something and Sheriff Tom Dart wants to deny you your constitutional right! Speaking of red flags, being an elected official in Cook County means you could be corrupt according to these reports.

    Does it say they will deny, or just that it raises red flags? Having a less-than perfect record raises red flags everywhere, doesn't it?

    Yeah, that's not good. Guilty until presumed innocent. It shouldn't work that way.

    NO.

    Guilty until, through the expensive appeals process, your highly paid lawyer proves you innocent.

    So, for most people, guilty and unarmed/unprotected by default.

    Bear in mind, you must have a FOID card to possess a gun in Illinois, and to apply for a resident carry license you must have a FOID card, so Sheriff Tom Dart is denying people carry licenses AFTER the state has found them worthy of being honest gun owners!

    I knew Illinoid would butcher the process regardless of what laws were put on the books... Their one of the crookedest dictatorships in the country, right up there with New York and California.

    I know there are threads here about safety glasses that fit over prescription glasses, but they all have links to online sources. Does anyone know where I can get some over-the-glasses safety/shooting glasses at a brick-and-mortar store in NW IN?
