Safe Passage Zones - Another Bad Idea

I thought I would share this delightful sign with my neighbors. It does a really good job of what the likely result of gun free zones are. Under the Illinois CCW statute, a school is a gun free zone and a CCW holder is prohibited from bringing a concealed firearm into it. Thankfully, concealed carry is NOT prohibited in City of Chicago Safe Passage Zones nor COULD IT BE PROHIBITED in the Safe Zone that the City of Evanston is contemplating. The right of a CCW permit holder is governed EXCLUSIVELY by State law in Illinois and no municipality can do anything to change that.

Besides....would anyone like to guess how many of the thugs will bother to obtain a FOID card, obtain a CCW permit, or obey the posted signs. More to think about.
