Concealed Carry Enacted In Illinois, Guess What Happened To Chicago Murder Rate In This First Quarter?
I’ve lost count of the number of times this articles been posted over the weekend, and I’ve said it before, so here goes again.
I live in the Chicago area. I work in Chicago. We’ve just gone thru the coldest four months on record, and have had the third snowiest winter on record. Temperature wise,were still well below norms.
Every winter here the murder rate drops. The gang bangers don’t like the cold. The crime rate drop has more to do with the fact that we’ve had such a brutally cold winter.
When the temperature gets back above sixty degrees or so on a consistent basis, there will be a HUGE spike in the number of murders in Chicago. That’s what happens every year here.
Conceal carry has been here a few short months, it’s way too early to attribute anything to it.
I say this as a CCW holder living in the Chicago area and working in the city. Those of you who do not live here don’t know what you’re talking about.
