<quoted text> You already have it. It's just the criminals who are doing it. They have never asked permission to do it.

I agree. They make it so difficult for an honest citizen to get a permit in most states, and virtually impossible in Illinois. The criminals don't worry about going through legal channels. I honestly believe if someone was going to mug you, and thought there may be a chance of you carrying a handgun, they may think twice.
People need more education on the safety of firearms, not more rules and regulations.

Responsible gun owners have all the right in this country to defend our homes and family. If we have to rely on our government to do it, we will be in the same shape as social security or any other funded aid. Come take my guns. Please:-)

no one will take your guns.
I do agree that we have the right to protect ourselves, I also think there are some nut jobs who believe that armor piercing ammunition is a necessity. I agree that it may be "fun" to blow stuff up, but I don't believe that everyone should have it. Kinda like fireworks... Most people can only handle a sparkler; a lot need training to properly and safely blow up the big stuff.

Really all you have to do is look what happened after Katrina and see what police and the national guard was doing.

I see your point. Just keep a few unregistered and hidden firearms available, and stay outta trouble.
...if someone of importance is listening to what I'm saying; I personally wouldn't do THAT. It was just a suggestion.:-}
