*Hi Hope…what do you mean a ‘no gun law’ in all of Chicago? *
Wow YES indeed!
No one except for authorized security, feds, or patrolmen can carry arms. Perhaps other trained people. If you have a gun in possession, found in your car or home, you could be fined, or if you use in a threatening manner without shooting, you can have charges pressed against you. Due to much death rates because of guns, NOT hitting their intended targets, innocent people caught in the crossfire. I have not seen this in my area of the city so far.
*While they still wear armor and carry antique weapons, it’s not all medieval warfare for the Swiss Guards. They must maintain a high degree of physical fitness and master modern weaponry, such as the H&K submachine gun and the SIG Sauer 9 mm pistol. To best protect the Pope, they also train at close-quarters fighting and tactical movement, as well as security and counter-terrorism techniques.
No, in a holster around DH’s waist.
I dont mean to switch this thread or spin it out, but since it is getting sensitive, sorry you couldnt get here, especially for the State street Chistmas parade of lights, it was pretty cool. I was volunteering that day and all the floats looked so nice all lined up.*Aw, no worries. I thought that’s how you might pronounce it. My sister did the same thing…’‘Cher.’’ lol
Growing up in a strict Italian household, you know then. My dad, for the short time I was with him, was a spanker…a hard one!No warnings, no time outs back in the 70’s.
Just a spank. A ‘shalacking’ he called it.
And he’d yell in Italian, so you knew you were in trouble. When my BIL was courting my sister, my dad was very intimidating, and not a very large man. But, my BIL knew not to mess with him, or his daughter. lol Then my BIL who is half Italian, raised me through my preteen/teen years…and he took the torch from my dad, in strictness.
In looking back, I am grateful…I stayed out of trouble, and chaste. What is largely lacking these days, is that type of raising of kids. That strictness. In all the years growing up, my BIL, who owned a gun…never brought it out in front of my dates…so, as strict as he was, he knew when to draw the line. lol
PS–Never made it to Chicago, for that business trip. But, they are thinking Q1 of next year…so we’ll see. I’d like to visit there, never have been. *
The state allows it, for sure, we have so many corn farms, it is a trial with the city of Chicago to lessen gang violence in sensitive areas, I go into those areas because we try to clean and restore old Catholic churches and schools so the kids will have a clean upkept school to learn, play, & grow.
I’m sure there’s a lesson to be learnt for all parties in this debate here – bit.ly/5KuQu3
