- Should Illinois residents be allowed to carry a concealed weapon?
On the noon news, the results were 90% yes, 10% no.
At 9pm, the results were 77% yes, 22 % no.
An unscientific poll by all means, but possibly the hint of a fundamental shift in attitudes toward firearms for personal protection. Part of it is a rejection of the liberal group-think that all firearms are evil. Part is undoubtedly a realization that citizens must be responsible for their own safety. And part might be that 520-plus murders in Chicago points to the blindingly obvious fact that police are short handed, can't be everywhere and Chicago is a dangerous place to be.
The Illinois Sheriffs' Association has come out in favor of Concealed Carry for the first time since 1928. Change may be afoot.
