The purpose of the meeting was to learn from the law-enforcement end of the business in McHenry County what to expect during a traffic stop and other contacts with deputies and police.
At the front of the room tonight were McHenry County State's Attorney Lou Bianchi, Assistant State's Attorney and Chief of the Criminal Division of that office, Mick Combs, Sgt. Alex Embry and Deputy Hector Garza from the McHenry County Sheriff's Department, and MCR2CA President Mickey Schuch.
No representative from any of the many municipal police departments in McHenry County was present, although invitations had been extended to every department.
Tonight's meeting was fast-paced and free-wheeling. There were many good questions from the audience, and there were candid answers from the speakers. This was one of the best meetings the organization has had in four years.
Heartfelt thanks are extended to Lou, Mick, Alex and Hector for their openness and transparency.
The question they weren't able to answer, of course, was how will the police departments conduct business with law-abiding, armed, licensed citizens.

Although there were lot of good questions asked..there were some, that were not all that smart(I hesitate to use the word dumb)..
the podium did an excellent job of answering all questions put to them in a highly professional manner...
I think that with some questioners the rule of common sense is long forgotten, with their "what If" scenarios..My congratulations to all that attended..Thanks to Mick,Jerry and Gus........
