New Illinois Law on Concealed Weapons Does Little to Comply With The Law of The Land.

Chicago Plaintiff Otis McDonald is on the Right at the U.S. Supreme Court. 
Chicago, IL—For decades Illinois politicians have violated the rights of citizens to keep and carry firearms guaranteed by our Second Amendment.  Ban after ban has been put in place and with each new restriction crime skyrockets.  Unconstitutional gun laws have protected the thugs, thieves, rapists and killers of The Land of Lincoln.
First it was Heller vs. D.C and then it was McDonald vs. Chicago the courts reaffirmed gun rights but the plaintiffs in those cases won’t live long enough to enjoy their rights because of obstructionist delays by tyrannical politicians that are apparently above the law of the land.
The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals struck down the gun carry ban and ordered Illinois to allow law-abiding citizen’s rights restored.  The politicians grappled with the idea and failed.  The finally passed a confusing 168-page law laced with Gun Free Zones everywhere.  If any gun carrier were to guess wrong a jail cell would be waiting for them.  Frankly the new law cures little.
In addition to all the obscure Gun Free Zones are endless delays in implementing the system and actually issuing the permits.  Otis McDonald is a senior citizen and may not survive long enough to get his gun permit that he and the other plaintiffs won in court.   That goes double in the most dangerous city in America where he still can’t legally protect himself.
Mary E. Shepard and the Illinois State Rifle Association filed the original lawsuit demanding Illinois follow the law of the land using the Supreme Court cases as authority.  They won but there's no end to the shenanigans the defendant politicians have invented to obstruct, delay and disobey the Court;s order. We have two new court motions dealing with the same controversy.
One is by the plaintiffs complaining that the new law is in violation of the courts order and intention to restore gun liberty.  The law has built in bogus delays and is loaded with impermissible bans.  They are asking to enjoin the entire mess of old and new law making the state’s Firearm Owner’s Identification Card a defacto Concealed Weapons Permit.
The second is a request to dismiss the entire action by the offending politicians claiming that the new Concealed Weapons Law cures the requirements of the Court’s decision and therefor the lawsuit should be dismissed.  I assume that Illinois Attorney General has been smoking crack if she really believes any of the crap she wrote.   Both new motions are below.

A 40 Caliber Nightmare Is Caught On Tape.

So you’re confident that that .40 caliber S&W service round will keep you safe. Maybe you’ll have second thoughts after you see this video. One hot summer night in 1994 Tempe and Mesa Arizona police were involved in a pursuit with this suspect who ran into a stranger’s apartment to hide after being shot TWICE in the chest. He was shirtless and you can see the blood pumping out of those two wounds. What’s really frightening is just how agile this fellow is as he struts to the ambulance. If he was not handcuffed and had a knife or a gun, ask yourself if he could still hurt you, your partner or a hostage? If your jurisdiction demands that officers carry either the 9MM or the .40 Caliber S&W it’s time to show this video to your bosses and lobby to have the .45 ACP round authorized. The switch may well reduce the screaming by self-appointed community activists about how many rounds police had to use on a suspect. The really talented and courageous video journalist, Karen Ke...

The origin of the feature film, COME FRIDAY…

CLick On the pictures to see full size versions. Long ago there was a young lady I had the hots for in a big way (Yes, I know that hots is not a word). She was pretty, incredibly bright, and had some real elegance about her. She had a love for children and basic kindness that you don’t often see in someone her age. I met her parents and could understand she came from a much more stable home than mine. I was raised by a single, welfare mom and suddenly found myself way out-classed. For whatever reasons things did not workout they way I had hoped. Sadly for me, we went on our separate ways. From time to time I’d run into this lady in various places where our job had taken us. Whenever this happened my heart would skip a beat or two. I left my hometown Chicago, and moved to Arizona where I founded my detective agency. As a private eye and soon a TV news producer too, my career took me to the highest profile criminal events in Arizona and throughout the country. There’s no question that ...

Gun vs. Knife

So you think because you carry and know how to use a gun that you will be able to protect yourself from a knife or cutting instrument attack with ease? For those people that think guns are more dangerous than knives, think again. More than 60% of all people shot with firearms even multiple times survive the attack. Cutting and stabbing victims don’t do nearly as well. Bullet wounds self-seal because of the elastic nature of human tissue. Knife cuts lay open and bleed profusely as the veins and arteries are opened wide. Then there are those laughably ignorant people (too many are politicians) who want cops or civilians confronted by knife wielding criminals to either shoot the knife out of someone’s hand or just shoot to wound. You’re about to see that such an effort will get you killed. Watch this video and you will see the knife can easily beat a gun in any contest.
