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 constitutionalright to keep and bear arms for self defense, just because criminals misuse guns, just as criminals misuse other tools.
Jim: Hahaha! Luckily, I live in Iowa and spend most of my time in Iowa, so IL gun laws (and corrupt politicians) don’t affect me as much anymore. But on the days that I do go into IL (including work days), I can’t carry.
Lynda: An insightful question. I work for the Federal Government. Government lawyers just have to be licensed in any one state, so passing the IL bar is enough to allow me to work for the Federal Government in any state (or overseas even).
