It makes sense for urban politician to push CCW permits. It appears La Shawn Ford is smarter than the average Urban politician.

This morning foul mouth announced Ives will be running for Casten’s congressional seat. Like his show but Mancow’s schtick using slang terms close to being profanity lowers broadcasting standards and unneeded.

“It appears La Shawn Ford is smarter than the average Urban politician.”

Things aren’t always what they appear to be. Ford also says that Chicago has enough cops. It doesn’t. He also wants more “controls” on the cops they do have even after the CPD leadership and the Mayor signed off on an insane “consent decree” with the State.

So while on this one particular issue Ford got things right. Blind squirrels and all that.

Concealed carry has been legal in Ill-I-noiz for 5 years. The issue is you need to take a 16 hour class of combined class room and range time, usually costs around $150, and a $350 state fee. The license is valid for 5 years. The cost is pretty high for those of lower incomes with fixed incomes.

Progtard DildoCrat meets reality.

2 dead and 43 wounded by gunfire this weekend in Chicago. His neighborhood, Austin, leads the city this year, with 26 murders by gunshot, and is second for total shootings with 103.

True, the dead can vote in Chicago, but a politician still needs some live voters to carry the day. Can’t win if your supporters keep offing themselves in greater numbers.

Not sure how much more “control” he wants on the Chicago Police Department since Mayor Lori Leadfoot has beaten them down into the fetal position.
