Fact or Fiction?

Anyone have info on this?
  • Concealed carry would have put an end to the band of thugs that robbed all the passengers on the 95th Street bus and then jumped off at 95th & Kostner last week. Must have been ten squads (someone got word to police somehow), don't know if they caught them.
Sticking up an entire bus?

If they got off at 95th and Kostner, they were far from home. That's if, of course, it was those dam Lithuanians again.

They're just getting warmed up to rob the busloads who'll be headed to CloutFest, the new "Lakeside" concert venue at the old USS South Works site this summer.

Boy, you ain't seen nothin' yet.

Doesn't sound the least bit unusual to me. Why not just drop off a Happy Meal over there and code it out...

I dont have any facts...But I say its do-able, given the unarmed civilian sheepdogs in Illinois. All they need is hoodies to mask faces from the cameras. If a civilian upped a pistol and took out the badguys, no doubt he would be the one screwed over by the system. Aint Illinois a wonderful state ? Its a target rich environment for any thug with a gun and a face mask.

I am a big concealed carry advocate but I don't think it would have stopped a band of thugs who already got the drop on you on a bus full of people. I don't know if it actually happened but in an instance like this I would just give up my cash and be done with it.

I don't look like a copper, I look like a nerdy accountant. Imagine the look on a certain shithead's face when I pulled a Bernard Goetz on him (not firing though) when I had to take the red line home really late when my car was in the shop.

I wish I had a camera attached to my glasses when he "asked" for $5 and insinuated he'd hurt me if I didn't give him anything. I pulled my 5 shot out and pointed it right at him and he ran like a sissy when the doors opened.

Concealed carry is needed and it has been shown all over the country that it works and there isn't carnage in the streets from a legally carried pistol. Just people who defended themselves.

Kinda makes the entire FOID card process a joke and waste of money doesn't it?

--clip--

Supreme Court rules out-of-staters don’t need FOID cards

Friday, Apr 8, 2011

* The Illinois Supreme court stepped in and declared yesterday that out-of-staters do not need a FOID card if they travel in Illinois with their guns. The non-residents couldn’t get a FOID card anyway, since only Illinois residents qualify. They still need to make sure their guns are permitted in their home states, however…

The case stems from an incident in 2005 when a Indiana man was arrested for a having a gun in a closed backseat armrest in his car.

He was charged with felony unlawful use of a weapon because he didn’t have a FOID card and he didn’t have the gun in a case.

The court ruled that since he had a permit to carry a concealed weapon in Indiana he didn’t need a FOID card as well.

I think the point is that if the animals think that citizens on the bus might be carrying, they might not be so bold.

Utah issues concealed carry permits to non-residents. When I took the training last fall and filed for the permit as an ILLINOIS resident the instructor said Utah had issued 143,000 non resident concealed carry permits nationwide. Imagine that Utah has enough faith in the Constituion and the 2nd ammendement that they will allow me and 143,000 other non Utah residents to carry concealed in Utah.

The State of Utah appoved instructors said it is valid under reciprocity rules in 31 states. I have a Utah permit. The recent Illinois Supreme Court decision together with the McDonald case have moved concealed carry one step closer to reality. It's clear that the ridiculous Illinois rules on concealed carry are being eroded little by little. To Quinn, Daley and Rahm: Join the 21st Century. Concealed Carry works. Wisconsin Governor said he will sign the Concealed Carry Bill soon. 3 states (AZ, Vermont & Alaska do not even require a Concealed Carry permit. You can simply do it unless you're in one of the categories that prohibit it. Once Wisconsin has it This will leave ONLY Illinois with it's
over reaching gun laws. Join the IL State Rifle Assoc and help fund this initiative.

It's amazing: our rights are curtailed by the those protected by body guard details. If Daley, Quinn etc did not have continued security once the re-enters civilian life. I GUARRANTEE you they would carry. There's NO way they would walk Chicago's street unarmed.

Okay, this is a blog for the police. If a civilian happens to drop by, it is what it is. What it isn't, though, is a public relations vehicle to make you feel better about us.

What you don't get, and you can't 'get it' unless you actually DO this job, is, as much as we may vent, we ARE the ones who race through traffic to help you. We ARE the ones who throw our fork down on the plate and run from the restaurant to help you. We ARE the ones who kick the door when smoke is pouring from your windows and low-crawl in, to pull out your toddler or your puppy.

Yes, we vent here; we are demoralized and understaffed and underappreciated and underequipped, but we will ALWAYS be there, putting ourselves at risk for those who need help. It's who we are; it's how we're made.

I used to see cars from "Securitas," with a CTA logo on them as well, doing CTA station checks along the Blue Line -- if the "guard" could manage to heave themselves up over the curb and waddle over. They're gone, and I see Oak Park PD doing the checks now out there. Contract must have expired or something.

Like someone here said, the Corvette-motor cars from the old CPD CTA detail -- white with the red & blue stripe down the side -- are long gone...

Just wondering if the streets of Chicago will soon look like this (see link below) as the weather now begins to break.

After all, we ARE the sanctuary city remember should things get too hot in Mexico!

Shortshanks should stand up on his podium and tell us about how the malls, parks, stadiums, trains and buses will be loaded with these illegal immigrant drug cartel members soon instead of his propaganda on conceal carry of handguns.

We hold you responsible Mr. Mayor for what you have created.

Look at the pictures..

When your sitting on the bus, train or in the park or museum you think that these people that have done this will abide by Chicago handgun laws?

Try licensing the illegals jerk face, instead of the handguns.

Try doing background checks on the illegals instead of looking the other way and letting them roam with impunity.

Let's try that and see what happens to the crime stats!

Stop letting the people that are willing to ignore the laws into this city.

IN SHORT DO YOUR JOB THAT YOU'RE PAID TO DO AND UPHOLD THE LAWS CURRENTLY ON THE BOOKS BEFORE YOU GO WRITING NEW ONES.

Mexico's drug war -- The Big Picture.

Mass graves. Dismembered corpses. Entire towns besieged. Macabre visions grow in depravity as the drug war in Mexico drags on. Since President Felipe Calderon began using the army to contain the violence four years ago, rival gangs have escalated their turf battles over smuggling routes, and 35,000 lives have been lost, half of those in just the three northern states of Chihuahua, Tamaulipas and Sinaloa. The drug criminals have expanded their shadow by intimidating police forces, using kidnapping and extortion, trafficking migrants, and even pirating oil from Mexico's national oil company, Pemex. Of course, calling this issue "Mexico's drug war" is inadequate. Much of the drug product is destined for the United States, and by some estimates, over $20 billion flows south annually to pay for it. Guns made in the U.S. cross the border as well. The last 16 pictures in this entry were made by Nadav Neuhaus, who was gracious enough to

Ask yourself how many drug cartel members are here already.

Are we waiting until we have to call out the Army too like Mexico before something is done? Oh yeah probably because that is a crisis that we can tie to some other agenda so it doesn't go to waste right?

It happened on 95TH ST. Nobody said anything about CHICAGO. And it happened right in front Petey's Bungalow. Everyone in the restaurant watched out the windows as the little darlings took off. Reportedly four were caught.

Ain't it funny how the civilians who come here to find out what coppers think and the evil and underhanded shit that daley inc. has been pulling have their little noses out of joint because in their tiny world-view, their "humble public servant" The Policeman shouldn't complain?

(Shut up that damn noise, not humble and no man's servant, knave, flunky or errand-boy)

The Police! And proud of it.

"I AM THE LAW!"
Det. Walter Clemmons - Crime Story

But tongue in cheek aside...

Complaining about people in the life or death business exercising their right to complain is an exercise in silliness.

Kind of like how the Brits were complaining about American Paratroopers & Rangers during the run up to D-Day.

Now how poetic would that have been if the middle finger whoop-de-do was given and everybody sent to the rescue jumped back on the boats to sail away and leave them to their own devices?

Maybe the wolves should be let to devour some sheeple hind-parts first while they're grazing.

"Baaaaaah! I don't want to be rescued if you're going to hurt the poor wolf that's eating me alive!"

The people don't want the old, gray-haired, hard eyed, many years experienced Patrolman.

(too "uncontrollable", too unfriendly, too intimidating, too knowledgeable about who is really full of shit, too blunt spoken and not p/c enough etc.)

They want the friendly, tech savvy, bright-eyed, CAPS-sized, "let's talk about what's bothering you and why you're committing crimes" Public Safety & Customer Service agents.

We say it would be better if The Police weren't politicized into into a social service organization with guns and allowed to hunt down bad people to lawfully put in jail or six feet under to maintain public peace and order so people can walk the streets free from fear.

We have a particular fondness for the ferocious and common sense intent of ILCS especially in regard to the duties of sworn peace officers.

Chicago is reaping it's just rewards and we laugh as people dance and cry as the deep, dark doo-doo overflows into their blahniks and birkenstocks.

"AAAAAAHHH! Police! Jiggle the handle to make it stop! Don't jiggle too hard or we won't be friends!"

Scream all you want...

We're ALL surrounded and there is no help coming.

Now get out of our way... We have some fighting to do while you complain about our complaining.

Have faith in that why don't you...

We have faith that the out-going and in-coming administrations are committed to resolutely avoiding doing what is right and will cede this city to the chronic non-contributors while you're distracted by propaganda making The Police (as a whole) out to be the enemy.
