#2 When working Scott AFB in the mid 90's. My Site Security Officer give me the paperwork and told me to acquire an Illinois State Patrol Firearms license> I was told to even to have a weapon in the trunk of the Vehicle I needed. He clearly stating Gun laws there were crazy and not like Ft. Bragg.

note: I had to drive thru East St. Louis a lot.

On the permit being issued, I was quickly, and bluntly, told it was NOT VALID in Chicago.

Why the story?
I learned that day, why LSD's feed and cared for Large Political Metro area voters. So that can they can with ease overrule the safety and rights of others.

#3 Governor J.B. Pritzker reminded the sheriffs that they took an oath to uphold the law

That includes the Constitution of the United States which somehow has evaded the minds of the governor and too many in the state legislature.

#4 note: I had to drive thru East St. Louis a lot.

Advice - Stay on I-70, I-55 or I-64. Don't get off. If traveling east and you accidentally missed the last Missouri exit (which is a VERY easy thing to do if you aren’t paying attention), keep driving until you're about 10 miles up the road before you turn around.

The nearby Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site is pretty safe though, and well worth the visit.

#5 M.R.- Is Fair View Heights still safe., or is O'Fallon now the safe line?

#6 Fairview Heights is still about as safe as most any metro suburb, and full of strip malls. Hgwy 157 seems to be a fair buffer from ESL and the further east of that you get, the better.

You should still maintain situational awareness, though.

#7 Interesting that someone who regularly ignores immigration laws cites they took an oath to uphold the law

Once you get across the Wabash River headed East, Just off I-64 (10 minutes south), the 'Yellow Tavern' in historic New Harmony, IN. Pretty damn good chow and a relaxing walk around town.

#9 When I was young, my dad took me to see an animated version of Animal Farms. It seems like Pritzker had a starring role. Could be wrong it has been many years.

#10 Much like school hostage situations, I imagine there is some trepidation about transgressing the 'nogo' zones of home armories.

#11 If Baraq and Joe could refuse to enforce US immigration laws then so can the county sheriffs. I see the beginning of a trend.

#13 I had to drive thru East St. Louis a lot.

After driving thru the tornado in Kansas, Pan and I returned thru St. L. Late night, we referred to the map looking for a route thru the untimely exit. Not much later, we looked at each other and agreed we should turn the map light off.

#14 I’m not sure why I find the idea of the two of you touring the landscape terrifying, Skidmark. I’m sure that really a wonderful time was had by all... ;-)
