Mr. White, a reader from Illinois, forwarded me an article from the Chicago Tribune about applications to the Cook County Sheriff for licenses to carry concealed weapons. The Sheriff objected to 240 of the applicants, including 88 who had records for domestic violence, 77 for gun crimes, 52 for battery/assault, and 27 for aggravated battery/assault.
Fourteen of the applicants the sheriff objected to were certified concealed carrier trainers.
Keep in mind that these applicants ALREADY POSSESSED GUNS. What they were asking for was permission to carry them concealed.
