At the present time, Colorado is still part of the USA (I am not sure why the people of Illinois keep voting in those that do not follow the second ammendment rights). If and when they take our CCW rights away, they will turn me into a criminal overnight. They will be able to take my guns from me very easily as they are drawing the chalk marks around my body.
Believe it or not, until just the last couple of years, it was illegal in Chicago and a number of collar cities to even OWN a handgun. The corrupt Daley machine demonized guns in the 60's to the point that it was totally socially unacceptable to even acknowledge you owned one in those areas where you could. Although the SCOTUS knocked down the ban, the city right away put up draconian restrictions, and required training - but outlawed gun ranges require to get the permit. Thank God that the 7th district court just slapped Chicago again, but true to form, they now just passed a bill to allow gun ranges, with a ridiculous annual business license (perhaps $4K/yr), and must be in an industrial zone, and can't be within 1,000 feet of scores of locations like schools, churches, parks, convenience stores, nail salons, and grocery stores - exagerating a bit, but the point is, when the possible locations were plotted, there were virtually no legal spots. Typical Chicago crap, so it'll just go back to the courts again.
The cool thing is, by these retards constantly appealing and forcing this up the court system, as high as the SCOTUS, these wins are nailing down more and more clearly defined 2nd ammendment rights for everyone. We'll get our rights eventually.
