I think the gun ban should exclude women because, lately, these ghetto thugs are targeting women simply because the thugs are cowards and women seem like an easy mark. If they're not going to let us carry guns than at least let us legally carry taser's so we can zap their ass!
ReplyDeleteIn Arizona, my other home, we have the right to openly carry a gun our hips, or apply for a concealed weapon permit. :-)
ReplyDeleteChicago needs to step up its game, or the predators are going to devour us this summer.
I remember when I was in Scottsdale many years ago and I stopped at a circle k. In walks a guy with a gun on his hip and, being from Chicago where it's not allowed, I thought the place was going to be robbed. It was scary, to say the least, but than when I found out it was LEGAL, I felt SAFER!
ReplyDelete"The Land of Lincoln" and we still live like we are in that era....it's time to give the citizens of Chicago an equal playing field so we can protect ourselves. Not happy with our so called "representatives" who walk around with their own protection.
Arizona has a higher murder rate and violent crime rater than Illinois.
ReplyDeleteArizona is safer than Illinois.
