Armed and Safe has the latest, including a copy of the ordinance.
If writing the law to suit yourself isn't naked tyranny, I don't know what is.
I hesitate to say any more, because I just submitted a column on this to GUNS Magazine, so go read what 45superman has to say--he covers it well and then some, including alerting us to another "Only Ones" exemption proposal.
If I were an Illinois gun owner, I would be pressing organizations claiming to represent me to file a freedom of information demand for copies of all correspondence from Chicago gun owners who told the city they were in the same predicament as Richard Mell. Conveniently I notice he mentioned he was called, so perhaps phone logs could be included at as well. You could do it in a way to protect their identities, and use it to validate that the city has been "inundated" and the new law will benefit "thousands."
Hell, I'd think a quick audit of police records for how many have not renewed during the designated time period ought to give a good quick 'n dirty snapshot, once you factor in people who moved or died--but then again, maybe not, because who in their right mind would play along with this evil game?

ReplyDeleteThat's the kind of thing I never come up with on my own. Thanks, David.
Any law requiring a license to own or carry a defensive firearm is per se unconstitutional. Any constitution that would allow such a law is illegitimate. The right to self defense is inherent and inalienable; saying otherwise doesn't change this fact.
ReplyDeleteMany, many years ago, my wife and I were strolling on the State St. Mall, when we were accosted by two young socialist bent on the redistribution of wealth.
ReplyDeleteOne of them opened his jacket and showed me his knife. I opened my jacket and showed him my .357 Colt Trooper.
He actually said "Have a nice day," as he and his partner casually turned and walked away.
I never paid the slightest bit of attention to Chicago's corrupt government edicts. I still don't. After all, concealed is concealed.
How civilized of you, Gaviolta. Even ruffians are inclined to politeness in an armed world.
