The extent of training required, the cost, the number of places prohibited for concealed carry, lack of reciprocity with other states--in every way that the legislature's Chicago-area Democrat cabal could make getting a license more difficult or less attractive, they did, and that will undoubtedly work as intended to depress the numbers of applicants.<br /><br />Fixing the numerous problems with the law will be the hard fought work of years, and until that work is done, many people who would apply under a less oppressive regulatory structure will continue to either be denied their Constitutionally guaranteed, fundamental human right of the individual to <b>bear</b> arms, or to simply engage in the practice of Constitutional (but "illegal") carry.Kurt '45superman' Hofmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14091930034162667742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-85126681734888067642014-03-02T08:48:46.135+01:002014-03-02T08:48:46.135+01:00"I don't know if what's happening in ..."I don't know if what's happening in Illinois indicates that the gun-control politicians had been "horribly out of touch with their constituents." <br /><br /> I suspect that what happens in Illinois will closely mimic what happened in many other stated that went to a shall issue permit system. Before it goes into effect, gun control advocates will lament the near future of wild west shoot outs and people being shot over parking spots. Then reality will set in and not much will happen.<br /> While there might be some immediate affect due to the publicity, keep in mind that with the current population of Illinois being just under thirteen million and about 75 percent being over 21, 5,000 permits comes to .05%. I think it will likely take several years to determine what the long term affect is on the state, be it good, or ill.ssgmarkcrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14480230040370709682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-69174213780379799862014-03-02T08:44:53.562+01:002014-03-02T08:44:53.562+01:00Oh no.
