About Jennifer

E-mail: jenniferf@patch.com

Jennifer has had newsprint on her fingers since age 12, when her first job was "stuffing" papers (folding the arts section into the news section, which came separately) for a local newsstand in her hometown. Within a year, she was promoted to selling them on the street, where her biggest sales day coincided with Bill Clinton's impeachment.

Jennifer attended college at the University of Chicago, where she majored in English and wrote for the school newspaper, The Maroon. She went on to earn a master's degree from Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism. While in New York, she covered community news for the weekly Our Town, in addition to writing for the alternative weekly New York Press.

Following graduation, Jennifer spent two years in St. Louis, working full-time as associate editor for the weekly newspaper Ladue News while freelancing for the West End Word. In September 2010, she launched the Northbrook Patch site, which she ran until taking over as editor in Evanston in May 2012.

Conceal Carry is Legal in 49 State's, yet it is still Illegal in Illinois. The requirements are strict and the Law is making a difference in people's lives all over this Nation. In order to be a CCW License holder in Wisconsin and most other States, you must pass an FBI Criminal Background Check, Submit Fingerprint's to the FBI and a Passport quality photo. Criminals are not going to do this, it is the people who have nothing to hide and are not involved in criminal acts, that will be requesting a License. I have Two CCW License's and am Legally able to Carry a Loaded Handgun in 38 States. That includes every State that surrounds Illinois. The illinoiscarry.com group is working towards the Right to Conceal Carry in Illinois and currently has a Court Case called Moore v Madigan, at the 7th District Federal Court of Appeals. The Decision will be announced soon. Illinois will soon have CCW and that is a Good thing!
