Although in this election I agree that gun control is not a factor, it is an important issue for me in general. As part of my job I regularly deal with seethy individuals, and they often get angry at me. Many of these people do have guns or other deadly weapons, and I have been threatened on several occasions. I think the best solution would be for me to carry a firearm to deter aggression. Unfortunately, being in the rights denied state of Illinois, I cannot carry a weapon. This puts me at a major disadvantage when I have to go into a bad area and be the bearer of bad news, as any potential aggressor knows that I could not have a gun since it is illegal. They, however, do not abide by the rules. I wish we could have a CCW permit in Illinois like in Indiana, although I do think that the requirements should be very strict.
I really don't care what they think are important issues in Europe, their society is totally different from ours. I don't think we need to look to them for validation or direction.
