Cop's Murder Has Some Thinking Of Carrying A Gun
Some Gun Control Supporters Now Thinking Of Breaking City's Handgun Ban
CHICAGO (CBS) ― They are law-abiding citizens in Chicago, but they are so worried about their own safety, they say they might have to break the law.
...
That has some African-American families in Chicago considering doing something they never would have done before: carry a pistol.
CBS 2's Jim Williams reports he grew up among those families and he's never anything like it.
...
"I've heard parents in my basketball camps express that very fervently, just over the weekend, that they want the right to protect themselves," Robinson said.
Estella Jernigan, works at a seniors center in Chatham, talked to an older man here who's taking a job for one reason.
"He said he was going to apply for a security guard so he would be armed." Jernigan said. "So he could carry a gun."
...
Gowder, who said his mother had always been in favor of gun control, has now changed her mind.
"My mother, who is in 60s, now feels she needs to have a gun and she needs to take lessons so that she will be qualified in case somebody kicks in her door," said Gowder.
...
In that neighborhood, many residents have told C{B}S 2 News off camera that they are willing to begin carrying a gun to protect themselves, even if it means breaking the ban on handguns.

In Chicago.
Want to pack heat!
The chains are falling from the minds of black folks in Chicago. These people want to protect themselves and their families. "Legal" or not! How long can Daley's thuggish house of cards stand if he loses the 60 year old black women who have always supported trampling the Second Amendment?
If Chicago makes unconstitutional laws, they deserve no respect. And logically, they deserve no respect. As one gentleman put it, he would rather the police catch him with a gun than the thugs catch him without one. Imagine that--a black man in Chicago daring to think that he has the same right to self-defense as any other American citizen. How can Daley and his fellow travelers put up with this nonsense?!
It's beautiful watching the GCRDF (gun control reality distortion field) lose its hold over long imprisoned minds!
(The sad thing is that the Democratic politicians will probably make them chose between their Second Amendment rights and voting democratic. I hope they're as smart as the former Chicago politician who now occupies the White House, but I have my doubts.)
