"Mayor Richard Daley said Monday that he was confident Chicago would prevail and stressed that cities and states should be able to decide how best to protect their citizens. "We have the right for health and safety to pass reasonable laws dealing with the protection and health of the people of the city of Chicago," Daley said. As long as this P.O.S. is the mayor and as long as we remain a democratic state, we will never have the right to carry. I would love to see in my lifetime IL. split into two states. That will never happen either.
