Indeed, and many with "sickness" are making laws against us.

Billionaires are going ballistic. Ronald Lauder has joined trigger-happy tycoons Donald Trump and Seagrams scion Edgar Bronfman Sr. as the richest men in the city packing heat, according to the NYPD's gun-permit list.
Lauder, the cosmetics heir, and multimillionaire Marvel Comics CEO Isaac Perlmutter are the newest gun-club members licensed to carry a weapon - topping a list that already included "Mean Streets" actors Harvey Keitel and Robert De Niro, "Scarface" producer Martin Bregman and shock jocks Don Imus and Howard Stern.
Other gun-toting notables - who have a license to carry as opposed to a permit to keep their weapon only at a home or business - include anti-gun activist Fernando Mateo and Giuliani Partners execs Richard Sheirer and Anthony Carbonetti - an in-law of the notorious booze-peddling Dorrian clan.
Republican Senate majority leader Joe Bruno and music czar Tommy Mottola remain licensed carriers, according to NYPD records through March 17. Millionaire Winthrop Rockefeller and former TV Anchor John Roland are no longer on the list; the NYPD wouldn't say why not.
Queens DA Richard Brown is the only elected prosecutor in the city with a gun license, but "he has his own security, so he doesn't walk around carrying a gun," said spokeswoman Nicole Navas.
Celebrity divorce lawyer Raoul Felder said he has carried a gun since 1961 during his days as a prosecutor. "A man threatened to kill me, and since he was a murderer I thought it was time to get a gun," he said. "We live in a very disturbed age. There's all kinds of sickness." Subway vigilante Bernie Goetz's lawyer, Barry Slotnick, is also strapped.

Hypocracy of those on that list is disgusting.

...or on the Bulls.
Illinois has no concealed carry law.
Not even for the Bulls.
All the Rights that money can buy!
Friggin' priceless. "I need a gun to protect myself, but you peons can just give the criminals what they want and call the police later."

hell, you don't have to be rich to pack
You have to be veddy, veddy rich to get a carry permit in NYC.
True.
I have to admit that here in Florida it was way too easy to obtain a CCW.
An application + military DD214 + no felonies + $117 bucks packs your back.
Said a mouthful there!
*Too* easy?
An app, no felonies and $20.00 in most Alabama counties.
Oh, here in Alabama, depending on county, its 21, clean record and 20 bucks. I carry KelTec's 380.
Uh-oh....If that's all you sent the licensing division, you'll never get your CCW.
Fingerprints..!! You forgot to submit your FP card!!! :-)
Is a DD214 easy to get?
If you think it is too easy, move to VT or better just carry concealed or open in VT. FYI it is not illegal to carry in the open in NH
There's no such thing as "too easy" when we're talking about the exercise of a fundamental right. That's like saying it's "too easy" to go to church in this country.
Piece of cake. Just serve a term in any branch of the armed services and it's yours.
While the irony of the list is not lost on me, I have a difficult time understanding the logic of publishing it or of releasing the names. I am opposed to making public the names of those people who carry concealed weapons even if they are people who I disagree with.
CCW should be easy to obtain if you are a law abiding citizen .
What part of "...shall not be infringed." has failed to make it through your skull?
"Uh-oh....If that's all you sent the licensing division, you'll never get your CCW.
Fingerprints..!! You forgot to submit your FP card!!! :-)"
No I didn't, I did it electronically.
Ah,, technology! :-)
Cops can carry off-duty, and so can aldermen (and women, just ask Dorothy). There's no permit for diamond dealers.
Chicago doesn't have any special concealed carry ban -- it's statewide.
Anywhere in the U.S. according to a law signed by "W" cops from one state may carry in any state. The law was also supported by Al Loser Gore.
Chicago doesn't have any special concealed carry ban -- it's statewide.
And I don't expect that to change in my life time.

Second Ammendment should cover it. Floridians can take an NRA or state sponsored course to obtain as well. Most gun shows offer a 4 hour class.
Daley is worried about the liability of allowing retired cops to carry guns when they haven't gone through refresher training or undergone mental and physical fitness evaluations. The city also is concerned about the lack of a national database of retired officers authorized to carry guns.
Too easy???? What are you smoking?? You shouldn't need a permit period!!!
