I think we expected that from him. It still has to pass the city council but probably will with few if any changes.

At least there is some good news from one county in Wisconsin.

Quote from: Mayor Richard Daley

"Everybody has a right to sue," he said.

So everyone has "the right to sue", but not a right to self protection...nice!

 When will the phrases "Wyatt Earp wanna be's, and wild west atmosphere" finally die.  Haven't they learned from the...how many states is it now? 48? that have some form of carry laws? No wild west atmosphere that I've heard of...

And what's with the"Hog leg" reference, that's so 1880's...

I salute AG Gerald R. Fox especially for telling the Brady Campaign to shove it.
