    Well after thinking about this all weekend, I decided to go ahead and pull the trigger. I am going to apply for the new Chicago Police Officer positions that they have recently announced. Obviously I have a long way to go, but I am eager to give this a try. Wish me luck!

    Good luck. Fortunately, with our strict gun laws we have a low crime rate in the city.
