<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 389745, member: 13650&quot;]I should have said a civilized, educated society.&nbsp; The only ones that have anything to lose in our carry states are the criminals.&nbsp; It goes beyond people physically carrying.&nbsp; It&#039;s the mental impact of the law, that should also make most criminals think twice about whether they&#039;re victim may be armed or not.&nbsp; This also acts as a deterent.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;I&#039;ve talked to so many people around here that say they&#039;d be scared to death if &#039;average law abiding citizens&#039; were allowed to walk around the streets armed.&nbsp;&nbsp; What&#039;s ignorant is that they have traveled to several states where concealed carry exists and they didn&#039;t even know it.&nbsp; So who knows how many people they passed in Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota, Indiana, Ohio, Texas and on and on... who were carrying.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp; Not allowed in Illinois though.&nbsp; If the criminals were smart, I think they should all come to Illinois where everyone on the street is guranteed to be defenseless.&nbsp; Easy pickings here thanks to our government/Chicago.&nbsp; I&#039;m glad they know what&#039;s good for me and that they&#039;re looking out for me.&nbsp; &#039;I feel safe.&#039; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp; I&#039;m sure they will come to my aid.... within the hour if I&#039;m getting robbed.&nbsp; With any luck I will still be alive to fill out the reports.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
