DO NOT, repeat, DO NOT, Vote for the FOP Crookago-Endorsed Democommies Bill Cunningham and Fran “Squirley” Hurley. Their fliers don’t even print on them that they are DEMOCRATS. Don’t believe the B.S. of FOP, Shields, or the Rest. They were ALL around when we got stuck with a BULLSHIT 2% Raise, and said NOTHING on our behalf publicly. Then the Teachers went on strike and got a good raise and benefits for being basically INCOMPETENT as far as results of Student Learning in the Chicago Public School System. Rewarded for THEIR incompetence, but once again, Cunninghamster and Squirley didn’t utter a thing. These are NOT the people you want to put into yet another CORRUPT City, State, or County Office. VOTE 100% STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN TICKET in the Nov. 6th Election. Another Big Win for Republicans and things will start changing for the better, here, and the entire Country. Repubs. APPRECIATE their Military and Police, Firefighters, etc. UNION Goons are just Bullshitting you, while collecting big salaries from your Dues Money, and doing little, or nothing for us in return. SCREW THEM. DON’T be CONNED AGAIN, by the Democrooks, and their TOOLS, like Shields and many others. The DEMOCOMMIES are the ones who screwed YOU, and YOUR Families with a BULLSHIT 2% Raise. The Raise prior to the last 2% INSULT wasn’t any damned good either, just average at best, for a great job done. Another INSULT. NOW, it’s YOUR TURN to SCREW THEM BACK. DON’T be a CHUMP. Vote STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN. Don’t Vote for even a SINGLE DEMOCLOWN, ANYMORE. They are ROBBING YOU,AND YOUR FAMILY BLIND. DON’T BE FOOLED AGAIN. LETS DO IT TO THEM AS THEY DID TO US. SHOW THE DEMS that we are NOT their STOOGES Anymore, and What goes around Comes Around..

As most know, one can be charged with a Felony in Illinois just for the possession of a concealed weapon. My understanding had been that it was the DA’s choice to charge with a felony or misdemeanor. But that is not always the case. Here is a little good news: A first offense of carrying a concealed weapon (assuming no other criminal activity is involved), does not bring a felony charge, but “only” a misdemeanor charge. This is assuming that one is not caught with the weapon in a school or “within 1,000 feet of the real property comprising any school, public park, courthouse, or residential property owned, operated, and managed by a public housing agency”. In that case it becomes a Class 4 felony. The same thing goes for getting caught with a weapon at any location that serves alcohol or at any public event for which admission is charged. Then it’s also a felony.

Here’s a very important point: While the first offense is just a misdemeanor (assuming the above geographic limitations are met), a second offense can bring about a felony charge – and a second offense can happen at the same time as the first offense if a second weapon is involved – IN OTHER WORDS, IF YOU CARRY A BACKUP GUN IN ADDITION TO YOUR MAIN GUN AND YOU ARE CAUGHT WITH THEM, YOUR BACKUP GUN CAUSES YOU TO BE CHARGED WITH A SECOND OFFENSE THAT CAN AND MOST LIKELY WILL BE CHARGED AT FELONY LEVEL.

I am sure you are all aware that Massad Ayoob does NOT condone illegal carry of firearms anywhere at any time. And neither do I. But I think it’s important for those living in Illinois to understand that where under most circumstances, if they carry one weapon and stay away from schools, bars, etc. if caught they can only be charged with a misdemeanor, where as if they carry a second backup weapon, they can and most likely will be charged with a felony.

Best to all,
