45 to 0, eh? I imagine it's pretty hard to vote against the mob when Guido & Luigi are waiting outside to break the legs of anyone with the temerity to go against the "will of the people"...

There simply is NO hope for people who keep electing people like Daley. The few conservatives there ought to pack it up and get outta town!

Joe here is something to think about. Actually it deserves to be broadcast far & wide.

A summery of this new Chicago law is in post # 16. It is obviously the most restrictive law in the Country. Funny thing, the City Council Aldermen that passed this pile of bovine excrement have Concealed Carry for themselves!

Yup!

65 ILCS 5/3.1-15-25
Sec. 3.1-15-25. Conservators of the peace; service of warrants.

(a) After receiving a certificate attesting to the successful completion of a training course administered by the Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards Board, the mayor, aldermen, president, trustees, marshal, deputy marshals, and policemen in municipalities shall be conservators of the peace. Those persons and others authorized by ordinance shall have power (i) to arrest or cause to be arrested, with or without process, all persons who break the peace or are found violating any municipal ordinance or any criminal law of the State, (ii) to commit arrested persons for examination, (iii) if necessary, to detain arrested persons in custody over night or Sunday in any safe place or until they can be brought before the proper court, and (iv) to exercise all other powers as conservators of the peace prescribed by the corporate authorities.

I am not a Lawyer, but even I can wade through Illinois law. When you dig far enough into it, you find Conservators of the peace powers include concealed carry.

Cute.
