Illinois Concealed Carry

[NoncomRetired]

The state is controlled by Chicago, the governor is controlled by Chicago and our capitol is considered Chicago. Chicago has the controlling voting base, hardly any governor can get elected or re-elected without Chicago. Chicago is democrat along with three other counties and that voting base controls the whole state. What Chicago says, Illinois does. It is and always has been Chicago who dictates our gun control and it has taken federal intervention to get this far, Chicago believes they are above the law which explains why Chicago is one of the most corrupt and crime ridden cities in this nation. BTW, it also explains why Romeo Rod Blagoivich is in prison and when he and five other governors who have either gone to prison or are in prison, it says a lot about the corruption that has and still does go on in this state. Al Capone left a legacy that still exist to this day in Chicago politics and politicians.

Same as in New York State. NY City controls the state; and as you mention, is democrat.

Curious - In my admittedly small group of friends (or acquaintances), no one seems to have voted for our governor, or even out present president. Popular vote has no meaning any more (if it ever did), political machine determines ruling class. I suppose it is no surprise that they fear armed citizenry...
