How safe does this make you feel?

Ah, yes, let's start the discussion with feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelings.

[Yo-Yo]

Putting in more than 2,000 work hours, they’ve found applicants who’ve been picked up for domestic violence, gun crimes, gang crimes, sex crimes, battery and assault.

Oh, so now simply being arrested means you're a convicted felon? Blow it out your colon hole.

[RC one]

I’m fine with it. Start issuing the permits now thank you.

[Hardastarboard]

No wonder Dart calls the concealed carry law “horrifically unworkable.”

In the Illinois concealed carry law, the provisions for objections by local law enforcement need to be beefed up fast.

So laws that liberals don't like that they think are unworkable need to be fixed (concealed carry). Laws that liberals do like need Republicans to STFU because it's the law of the land (0bamacare). Got it.

Lest we forget, this IS Chicago, Illinois we’re talking about here. Yes, that Chicago and that Illinois, where corruption was long ago elevated to the ‘art form’ that it has now long been.

Don’t worry. The dirt bags are still going to have guns anyway.

The question is, will you have the means to fight back should the need arise.

Well....let’s examine some specifics in this hit piece:

The TRAINER, does not NEED to be allowed to carry concealed.

The 300 applicants who “HAVE RECORDS FOR......” must NOT have been CONVICTED, or they would have been denied the permit.

[umgud]

Criminals carry without permits. It’s time law abiding citizens did also.

[Count of Monte Fisto]

Sheriff Dart’s office found 300 applicants who have records for domestic violence, gang activity, gun crimes, sex crimes, burglary and other criminal activity

What are these people doing out on the streets? If they can't be trusted to carry a weapon, which anyone can get at any time, why aren't they behind bars?

As a citizen of this country my concealed carry permit is the 2nd Amendment. Instead of infringing on my and everyone else's rights of citizenship why not revoke the unrepentant and incorrigible criminal's citizenship and kick them out.

Being a free citizen in a fee country has many benefits and privileges but also has a lot of responsibility. Why should people that flaunt that responsibility, act out in antisocial and outright evil ways but still enjoy those benefits and privileges? They should be sent away from decent people and to a lawless jungle that befits them.

The people who willingly take the training and register with the state as concealed handgun carriers are not the problem.

[Atlas Sneezed]

“...police say another threatened to kill a law enforcement officer...”

I see. Now “police SAY” is what we do instead of a trial by jury?

Vetting of concealed-carry applicants Obama Administration appointees too weak to trust

[JimRed]

From the comments:

They are either criminals, or they're not. If they are safe enough to be walking on the same street as the rest of us, let them have their guns. After all, if they were really too dangerous to be on the streets, they should be locked up.

Exactly what I've been saying for years- anyone who can't be trusted to carry a weapon should not be running around loose!

“Vetting of concealed-carry applicants too weak to trust”

If only they were as concerned about vetting our current pResident.

[bmwcyle]

Vetting of concealed-carry applicantsThe President of the Unite States too weak to trust.

[Organic Panic]

But no problem having felons as Obamacare navigators.

[Dead Corpse]

BS... I had to provide more documentation for my carry permit background check than Zero did to get on the ballot for POTUS.
