    Quote from the News Story below

    "On the heels of a federal court striking down Chicago's ban on gun sales, those seeking gun permits in Illinois flooded the State Police website over the weekend to begin the permitting process.

    In fact, the amount of Illinois residents seeking a conceal carry permit already surpasses those who enrolled in Obamacare after the first two months of the launch of healthcare.gov. The Chicago Sun-Times reported 4,525 individuals signed up on Sunday alone for their firearms permits, when the State Police first opened the process to all concealed carry applicants.

    Illinois State Police spokeswoman Monique Bond said that number is included in Sunday’s total of more than 11,000 people who have signed up because of an early application process that began December 18 and was open to only firearm instructors. Officials told the Sun-Times they expect 350,000 to 400,000 people (about 1,000 per day) will sign up for conceal carry firearm permits this year."

    Awesome that you will be able to carry. Get a good belt and holster... I got a Beltman belt http://www.thebeltman.net/bh112.htm

    Nice belt, stiff, but not gun carrying stiff. Thinking about one of these double stitched ones: http://www.zachsgunbelts.com/gallery.html

    As far as bo care, I will just say this: :-D

    Did they not also rule some gun bans unconstitutional? Yep, in Chicago: http://video.foxnews.com/v/30244157...on-gun-sales-unconstitutional-/#sp=show-clips

    OOps, did not know. So, out of curiosity, what belt do you wear ASUS? I ask this because I am fairly new to CC, and my current belt ain't cutting it.
