At one time I was in North Lawndale Chicago from time to 
time. Wouldn't think of going there unarmed, then or now. 
Fortunately I no longer have any reason to be there.

In my daughter's neighborhood, Rogers Park, there are 
drive-bys now and a spate of recent murders at her nearby

but in risk assessment that risk is lower than a vengeful 
prosecution for carrying w/o IL permit.

Incarceration for violent criminals has become politically 
undesirable among The Powers That Be:
