I wonder though how he got a CC permit in Chicago??? No easy trick that, off duty or retired cop? Enquiring minds want to know. This is the way the world ends. This is the way the world ends. This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but with a whimper. |

I can walk down the street with my AR-15 or 12 GA in hand and loaded...I only conceal carry because I don't want no shit, but the outline of the pistol in my pocket is obvious. I never forgive and I never forget I am a licensed firearm holder. I will, under protection of law, use lethal force if attacked.  |
