Im not surprised, im a fan of nationwide carry. i think it should be nationwide reciprocity and not a federal license, however.
As a Hoosier i'm proud to live in a very free and conservative pro gun state. We have a very pro gun legislature, which is good. I couldn't imagine living somewhere like chicago and not having my constitutional rights. Im very pro law enforcement, but law enforcement cannot be everywhere. Chicago has proved that quite well. Im also pro safety, that is why even though Indiana issues permits without field training i took it upon myself to enroll in NRA carry classes and Utah CCP courses. I've handled guns my whole life, but i still want to be well educated with one.
I pray for my pro gun brothers to the west in Illinois. Whenever we travel from home we try to avoid Illinois like the plague. last time i had to drive through i drove the speed limit and didn't stop for fuel while there. I followed rules going through and locked my 9mm away, but i certainly didn't want to.
I don't have anything against people from the state to the west, but i certainly do not like their politicians at all. Ill stay here in southern Indiana (kentuckiana) where almost everyone has and AR-15 or two or three.
