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. |

Quoting: Mattrexx "Jen Mullin, a spokeswoman for Uber, said that the company requires its drivers to abide by all local and state firearm laws. NBC Chicago reports the driver had a concealed-carry permit" [link to pjmedia.com] Shotguns are not available for use with CCW. He violated the law, unfortunately. I believe he should be left alone. No citizen should need a permit to protect yourself. |

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. |

Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living. ~ Life is about choices, you get to make them each and every day of your life. ~ Capitalization is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse and helping your uncle jack off a horse.~ Only in America... do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poloi' in Greek meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.~ “When a government is dependent for money upon the bankers, they and not the government leaders control the nation. This is because the hand that gives is above the hand that takes. Financiers are without patriotism and without decency.” If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at forty you have no brain. Winston Churchill |

Good job uber driver! |
