LOL, I am not sure which part of this story angers me the most. "Extensive set of regulations…Read More regarding news racks" meaning our elected officials have spent an enormous amount of time on this “out of control” news rack epidemic to “part of the city’s effort to clean up its streetscape”. HELLO!!! Alderman Wynne, What is your plan to clean up the streets of crime and violence? Shots ring out at ETHS the same day a father is stabbed dropping off his son, and you are worried about new racks? Whats next, too many purple flowers near northwestern? Do you have any statement on crime? Give me a break!! OIC, not your ward, my bad! Then the City manager chimes in saying his employees have been lax in enforcing the rules. This being true we should see some sort of disciplinary action taken of these slacking city employee right Wally?

Wacky Mikie Bloomberg, the little rich boy who wants to be boss, has done it again! I wonder how…Read More many gun control supporters had to be bussed in from the south to the state whose motto is "Live Free or Die" to make a photo op? I just hope that he dissalpates the family fortune before pollutes anymore young minds with his nanny-state programs.

There are plenty of us that will obtain a concealed carry permit....that DO have proper training.and…Read More practice regularly. I make a point of getting to the range to shoot twice a week, sometimes three times....its a hobby and them some. There are many states that permit "open carry" and some os us would have preferred it in Illinois as well. However, open carry can be viewed as a greater temptation to engage with a person. When carry is concealed the person carrying maintains the element of surprise, and more importantly a responsible gun owner doesn't brandish a firearm....and would exercise the range of options to avoid, disengage, and take any possible action to avoid having to draw down the weapon and use lethal force. Contrary to the views expressed by many of the "progressives" here...no responsible gun owner looks forward to having to deploy a deadly weapon...its a last choice..but it is legally permissible...in fact...its A CIVIL RIGHT.....just like the other provisions in the first ten amendments to the US Constitution.

What gets me is the simple economy of it all - an influx of more guns seems counterproductive to…Read More safety.
In regards to the constitution, clearly the 4th amendment is up for debate so why is the 2nd, the most outdated and irrelevant amendment, not? I'm glad you wrote this post to counter what most readers have been encountering lately.

The writer of the post is illiterate....that is clear. The Evanston Police, in general, do a great…Read More job in this community. There ought be a new category created specifically for membership in a gang that has demonstrated committed acts of violence...it goes back to the first smart thing which Mark Kirk ever said which was locking up each and every one of the 18.5K members of the Gangster Disciples. The second thing that can be done is that each and every law abiding Evanston resident that is legally able to do so should avail themselves of the right to obtain a new Illinois Concealed Carry Permit for a handgun. An armed society is a polite society.
