FREEDOM, that is what I experience as I Conceal Carry in Illinois and other states. But, to Conceal Carry in Highland Park is even better!!! I like to drive through H.P. with my truck on the way to The Mean Wiener in Highwood. Sometimes I will shop at the Sunset Foods or just take walk around town, down by the lake or visit one of my many customers. The fact that I am exercising my Constitutional Right to Bear Arms has posed no threat what so ever and I do not have any worries of being attacked... even by a disgruntled Patch reader, Ha ha. The point here is that you do not have anything to fear from the 60,000+ Conceal Carry License holders in Illinois, you do not even know who they are and that is the whole idea. The only people who need fear the Conceal Carry License holder is the violent criminal. They are scared to death of the possibility that somebody may be Armed and ready, ready to stop them from committing a violent crime and turn the tables on them, with justifiable "Use of Deadly Force". It would be nice to actually be able to respond to comments... but Patch has gone Censor Crazy!
