Someone once said "The definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over again and expect different results". This phrase clearly describes gun control policies in Chicago.
Chicago has one of the highest murder rates in the nation, as well as a high violent crime rate, and also the strictest gun control policies in the country. Concealed carry has been illegal for decades. Citizens are unable to defend themselves without breaking the law and the criminals know this.
There have even been a few instances where a victim shot a would-be robber and the police refused to press charges, though that does not always happen.
A few years ago, a couple of off-duty officers from suburban Markham were attacked when they answered a Craigslist ad for a used car. The armed officers were able to thwart the attack without being harmed. The suburban police chief remarked "You think about regular citizens and you feel bad because it's like a no-win situation for them. You know, they're not police officers, they're not trained for this type of incident."
Indeed.
