Suppose you walked into a restaurant (say, Culver's in Woodstock) and noticed that the man seated at the table in front of you was "packing." Or, let's say that one of your kids said, "Mommmmmeeeeeeee, look! That man has a gun."
Oh, yes; let's assume that the sun came up in the west that morning and Illinois had passed a concealed-carry law and an open-carry law.
Would you quickly get over your surprise and calm down? Or would you get up and leave? Maybe not too quietly and maybe after berating the restaurant manager for allowing a man with a gun in his restaurant.
Or would you say to your kid, "That man is exercising an important constitutional and lawful right and, if we need help, I'll bet that he will help us."
Many states now allow concealed-carry and/or open-carry. If you go to Wisconsin, for example, you will very likely see armed men and women in restaurants. And they won't be causing trouble.
Are you preparing yourself for that day in Illinois? Will we live longer enough to see that day?
Contact your State Representative and Senator and tell him or her that you support concealed carry. You may not want to carry a gun yourself but, if you get in trouble, you'll hope that there is a law-abiding, trained citizen with a gun to protect you until the police can get there.
Remember: when you need the police in seconds, they are only minutes away.
