(6,185 posts)26. As usual, you keep missing th e point No legal guns outside of homes in Chicago
You keep claiming that everyone can keep a gun int heir home.
That's the law in Chicago. There is no concealed carry allowed. The only legal guns are locked up in peoples homes.
Any gun on the street is an illegal gun by definition, just like you fantasize about.
Gang Banger is arrested with a weapon and the District Attorney always pleads out the gun charge, FOID violation and the other firearms related charges.

the gun is the criminal, the person with a gun does the crime because he has a gun
