Feel-Good Story of the Day...

Sent in by chiefjaybob - from Illinois!

Babes with Bullets and other women who believe the Constitution applies in Illinois

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker signed a concealed carry bill late last week, making Wisconsin the 49th state to allow trained, law-abiding citizens the right to carry concealed firearms.

And this means that Illinois is the only state without such a law. In Illinois, our Chicago aldermen can carry guns in their purses and even in ankle holsters, and criminals obviously carry guns, since breaking the law is what they do.

Read the whole thing. Just as Boston and Cambridge do not all of Massachusetts make, neither does Chicago all of Illinois make. Seems like there are still folks in the Land of Lincoln who still believe in the Second Amendment, just as there are folks in MA who do as well.

Money quote:

They ranged in ages from their 20s to their mid-60s. And what struck me was how serious they were about learning.

When we're getting women in Illinois - the very last non-CCW holdout state to go out shooting, we're winning.

That is all.

""But I get the news out of Chicago, and every night people in Chicago are carrying weapons, aren't they?" she asked, feigning confusion."

Smartass women with guns are awesome :)
