Chicago land here. In the spring summer, I carry a compact 9mm
with 12 hollow points in a sneaky Pete holster on the front/side of my belt.
Looks like something you would carry a cell phone in.....
Its right there out in the open with a magnetized flap and the gun is right there inside.
Seat belt tucks under it.
Fall Winter, its either a browning hi power or a 1911A1.
And those can be put in the door shelf / pockets while traveling.
Illinois... Yea I'm packin. Of course I am. I live in Chicago land.
The state that banned rifles that carry over 10 rounds, but allows 15 rounds in pistols.
And guess what type of weapons the criminals who do all the killing and car jacking and armed robberies are carrying?
Pistols of course. Only they upped the ante. Now they are carrying pistols modified to fire fully automatic with extended mags. And what do the authorities in Chicago do about the people caught with them??
Dam near nothing. They slap an ankle monitor on them and let them go about commiting more crimes. You want to see an example of one party rule and defunding the police and socialisim in action? Go to Chicago. Or better yet, do yourself a favor and dont go.
I worked in the heart of Chicago for 32 years. I wont set foot there now for any reason.
Im in "Chicago Land"
Of course I'm packing.
