When I was robbed in Chicago, I didn’t have a gun but the man that robbed me did. I was lucky he didn’t shoot me, but if I had had a gun and he had shot me, I would have shot him back. Suffice to say, Chicago deserves their high crime rate, they deserve it because they have chosen to empower the criminals and disarm the citizens. Here in Chattanooga I am free, I don’t need a license for open carry, only conceal carry needs a license. Are we crime free? No, no place is crime free, but at least here we have a fighting-chance.
