As the Chicago Tribune reports, the city of Evanston, Illinois has repealed its handgun ban. Evanston is now the 3rd suburb of Chicago to repeal its handgun ban, following Wilmette and Morton Grove. Only Oak Park, IL and Chicago, IL still have handgun bans, and the NRA‘s lawsuits will hopefully soon cause those unconstitutional bans to be struck down.

Like the millions of law abiding gun owners in America, I am a peace loving person. I own firearms so that I can defend myself and my family, should that need arise. While I sincerely hope that I am never in the position of having to fire a gun in self defense, I rest easier at night knowing that I could stop an armed robber, racist attacker, terrorist, or home invader if the need arose. I also rest easier knowing that my fiance could stop a rapist or murderer, rather than becoming a victim. The simple fact is that gun control laws don't stop criminals from getting guns, and instead only disarm the law abiding citizens, making them easier targets for the criminals. Nor is it justifiable to deprive law abiding citizens of their constitutional right to keep and bear arms for self defense, just because criminals misuse guns, just as criminals misuse other tools.

Given those facts, I would encourage my fellow law abiding citizens who do not yet own a gun to do the following: go shooting for the first time, choose the proper gun for self defense, purchase that gun, store the gun in a responsible manner, and become proficient at safely using that gun.Next, join the NRA to protect your right to have a gun for self defense.Doing so may save your life one day, and can also benefit society as a whole.
