Concealed carry advancing in Cook county Illinois....

[2aguy]

Well....quite a few people now have concealed carry licenses....and more are getting them....criminals beware, victims can fight back now....

New stats United Center couldn t seat all Cook County residents with concealed-carry permits Chicago

While the arena has a capacity of about 23,500 concertgoers, 23,921 Cook County residents received permits to carry hidden firearms since the state began the licensing process in January 2014. Those permits represent about a fourth of the statewide total of almost 92,000 permits.

The state’s licensing board denied the applications of about 1,150 Cook County residents, about 5 percent of the total number of applications in the county. Across Illinois, about 2,400 permit applications were denied, less than 3 percent of the statewide total.

Keep in mind though....when the process started, the State Police changed the information needed on some of the forms and that kicked out some people who got caught in the middle of the change....luckily, some of us found out before we submitted our paperwork and didn't get the initial rejection.....

But again....if you are a criminal in Chicago....some of your victims can now fight back......change your criminal habits.....or face the consequences....

Just today I carried my concealed firearm into Cook County.

Still, it was a day like any other. Uneventful.

Praise Jeebus.

For the benefit of our many low info lefties, Cook County includes Chicago and many of its surrounding suburbs. Chicago's various hoods are chock full of armed criminals we know from the daily body count, and you can bet the farm the vast majority of the c-c permits belong to suburbanites.
