- Otis McDonald — the lead plaintiff in the lawsuit that overturned Chicago’s gun ban — would have been delighted that many of his neighbors now have permits to carry concealed weapons, according to his fellow gun advocates.
McDonald, who died of an illness last year at 80, was an African-American resident of Morgan Park on the Southwest Side. The onetime robbery victim was a vocal advocate of allowing law-abiding citizens to carry hidden weapons to protect themselves against criminals.
It appears many of his neighbors —and many other Chicago residents in safe and high-crime neighborhoods alike — agree with him.
So, essentially, people in high crime neighborhoods who want to protect themselves, get guns to keep safe, and the get guns by a legal and lawful process set up by the state.
And people who know that guns keep neighborhoods safe and want their neighborhoods to remain "low-crime", get guns in order to be part of the process that keeps the neighborhood safe.
This is an article about pretty much nothing.
