Survey Results – Concealed Carry

Thanks for the 71 readers who voted on the question, Should the Illinois General Assembly enact legislation to permit the carrying of concealed weapons?

29 (41%) voted Yes
42 (59%) voted No

It was interesting that the Yes’s outnumbered the No’s early in the survey.

The criminals already carry concealed weapons. Why not let law-abiding, permit-issued, trained, educated, honest civilians carry if they wish to?

The law would not require you to get a license and carry. Evidence indicates that everyone (except the criminal) is safer, when citizens are carrying concealed weapons.

If you voted No, what was your reason? Please comment.
