Challenges for Chicago’s Concealed Carry License.

Illinois passed concealed carry legislation, but the liberals have ways of tricking us.

As GunNuts.net reported:

Second, the permitting process in Illinois will require training from an instructor specifically approved by the State Police. The course is at least 16 hours and has many facets. I can imagine that, for many, two days of classes will be something of a hardship. Also, from my knowledge of enrollment fees for two to four hour intensive firearm classes, I worry that the cost of these courses may add up exponentially. Tack this cost onto the $150 fee that Illinois plans to charge for the resident license and a CCL may become unattainable for most.

Hmmm, we might as well call them “Limousine Licenses”, and it doesn’t get any better if you’re a non-resident.

As a non-resident, I will have the option of obtaining a Illinois CCL, but for me the fee will be $300. Also, I will have to obtain the same 16 hours of training, and on top of all that I will be required to show that I am a concealed carry permit holder for my state of residence. So what are my other options when it comes to defense in Chicago? We already discussed a few on Monday and while flashlights, knives and tasers are all good suggestions, the Illinois statutes are strangely silent on these “weapons.”

There are guns you can buy for less than $300 for crying out loud.
