Within 180 days, Illinois residents will finally have the opportunity to legally carry a firearm. Growing up in a small farming now, I was introduced to hunting at a young age and have always enjoyed firing weapons. Now that I'm in Chicago and I see the type of people walking around, carrying a firearm has never been more of a self fulfilling idea. The crime alerts my college issues, pretty much weekly, always involve the student being on the wrong end of the barrel and being defenseless. In one of the most violent cities in America it's finally time of this change to come.
