Chicago Dems killed concealed carry

Just like the criminals who are killing Chicago children and other residents with illegal use of weapons, the Chicago Democrats killed off HB 0148, this year's concealed carry bill, last Thursday. Want proof?

Take a look at this Illinois House District map: http://iecam.crc.illinois.edu/gis-user-guide/house_districts-2009.pdf Note where the numbering of districts starts. Try read the numbers of the first 45 districts, out of the 118 districts in the State of Illinois. It's a .pdf page; if you want to enlarge it, just click on the + sign at the top of the map page.

I made a list today of all the NO votes, which would include those who didn't vote, since a "not voting" vote is the same as a NO vote. I re-ordered the list to see how the votes were cast (or not cast) by District Number.

Of the first 44 districts, by number, four (4) representatives voted YES. House Representatives from Districts 20, 37, 41 and 42 voted YES. All the rest from Districts 1-44 voted NO.

Look at it this way. Here are the Representatives from the lowest-numbered 44 districts who voted against the right and privilege of carrying a loaded gun under your jacket or in your purse or car, while you are away from home. The following voted NO: Representatives from Districts, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29. 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 38, 39, 40, 43, 44.

I simply cannot believe that those who live in those districts do not want the right to defend themselves. Could not 6-7-10 of those be persuaded to vote YES?

YES!
