    Default First 5,000 concealed carry licenses being mailed out

    Illinois’ first concealed carry licenses were being sent out Friday and could arrive in mailboxes as early as Monday, Illinois State Police officials said.

    That’s 5,000 approved applications out of some 46,000 received statewide, officials said Friday.

    “We’re going to print as many as we can get through today and continue on Monday,” said Illinois State Police Col. Marc Maton, speaking to reporters downtown.

    The blue-and-red licenses — about the same size as a driver’s license — are good for five years.

    All approved applicants passed both criminal background and mental health checks, Maton said.

    And watch now as crime not only most likely does not increase, but decreases.......

    If we can get reciprocity and then get NJ and MD to comply, my travels will be much more enjoyable. I hate relying on pepper spray when a firearm should be on my hip.

    Wait. Somewhere, unfortunately, some cop is going to kill a lawful carrier.

    No. The ruling that required a legal form of carry covered the entire 7th Circuit

    Didn't Chicago's chief say that's what his guys are trained to do?
