An Open Letter of Apology to the Good Folk of Illinois From a Hoosier 66

An Open Letter of Apology to the Good Folk of Illinois From a Hoosier

This has weighed heavily on my heart for years and now I finally must get it out into the open. As your direct neighbor to the east I must apologize for Indiana's part in helping to dramatically increase the incidents of crime in Illinois.

You see, for many years my state of Indiana has allowed law-abiding residents to carry concealed handguns, and criminals know it is a bad idea to attack a Hoosier.

Nothing says "no" to those intent upon doing harm to a citizen quite like a bullet hole in their chest.

Because of that, Hoosier criminals are quite aware that it is much safer to do their evil deeds in places where people like Chicago Mayor Daly, Gov. Blagojevich, and Sen. Obama prefer residents to be completely helpless.

This encourages our rapists, muggers, mass killers, thugs, white-sheeted bigots, terrorists, gay bashers and anti-Semites to leave Indiana and move to Illinois, one of the few states left where the "defenseless lambs" theory of self-defense still exists. The mass exodus of our criminals helps ensure the continued well-being of Indiana residents -- even those who choose not to carry a handgun.

It might not be of much comfort to you folk who will be victimized by these transplanted predators, but Illinoisians can find solace in knowing that we appreciate your willingness to make yourselves available as easier targets of opportunity.

If it saves just one Hoosier life, it is worth it.

2016 Olympics In Chicago? Surely You Jest!

Chicago—These days Chicago can’t hold any public event without having Black on Black murders and shootings imported into these events from the ghetto.

Chicago’s gun laws only work to keep the law-abiding disarmed. The morale of Chicago’s undermanned and inadequate police department has never been lower. They would never be able to keep up with the tremendous crowds or the vast network of criminals preying on them.

Proper policing can only work as a partnership between citizens and police. Today there is no such partnership in Chicago. The law-abiding are unarmed and hiding in their bathtubs from the bullets because Liberal gun control never works.

Chicago’s corrupt politicians and bureaucrats can be counted on to play the extortion game against every business trying to get a piece of the huge financial windfall that comes with this event.

Holding the 2016 Olympics in Chicago will bring a violent crime bloodbath along with a huge public corruption crime wave that will begin right on the Fifth Floor of City Hall.

The Olympic Committee and the taxpayers of Chicago should say no thanks to having the games in Chicago.

I borrowed the clever homicide chalk graphic with the Olympic Torch from my friends at secondcitycop.com.

Clinging To Our Rights

Clinging To Our Rights

Thursday, June 26, 2008, will go down in history ... not as the day that the Supreme Court found a new right, but the day the Court recognized an ancient and unalienable right. The right to keep and bear arms has been with us since before the founding of this great nation. The dedication and perseverance of millions of American gun owners paid off when five justices agreed that not only does the Second Amendment protect our right to own and use firearms, but that we have a basic right of self-defense as well. The importance of the Heller decision cannot be overstated. Because of it, Americans across this country now know their right to own a gun is just as real and important as their right to speak freely or to worship God without government approval.

With the Supreme Court's monumental ruling in the Heller case, gun owners aren't going to rest. Armed with the judicial recognition that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm for any lawful purpose, we're taking the fight to the cities that have denied residents their Second Amendment rights. We're going after Chicago and those suburbs that have banned handguns. We're going after San Francisco and their laws that block Americans in poverty from owning a firearm. We're going after New York's licensing laws that allow the rich to exercise their rights, while telling working-class men and women that the Second Amendment is not for them.

We're not just going to cling to our recognized right to keep and bear arms, we're going to embrace it. We're going to make sure our right is strong, not out of arrogance, but out of concern that the fragile 5-4 decision could be ripped apart by lower court rulings, legislative overreach, and local politicians who put their elected office over the constitutional rights of their constituents.

We have to prepare for the other side to go after us, as well. The Court ruled that they may find some gun-control laws acceptable. Our opponents will try to exploit the language of the Heller decision for their own gain. Some are claiming that the court's decision was actually a victory for gun-control supporters. With our continued push, we'll make sure they're wrong ... again.
