Chicago being the most populous city is a good point in this conversation. Chicago being the most corrupt really has no bearing. I also might not have a problem with concealed carry. I don't believe there is a big difference in crime stats between states with it and without it. Remember Texas allows everything, conceal carry and an express line for the death penalty. Texas is the most trigger happy state in the union and its citizens believe that revenge is actually justice. Well - if that argument holds, shouldn't TEXAS be the SAFEST state in the Union? Well - it's still not. Conceal carry does not lower the crime rate and neither does its excessive use of the death penalty. I am not sure that I am against conceal carry. I definitely support the castle doctrine - in spite of the fact that many princes and princesses in the castle sometimes get into the kings' and queens' guns. I tend to believe that someone should reliably be able to sleep well and protect their children allowing them to sleep well. But driving around while packing heat -- it's still inconclusive. Crimes could be stopped -- but it could also be like the Wild West. I just don't know if I like it.
