Quote of the day: Stay in Chicago edition
So, a robber (maybe two, story kind of shifts from one to two) from Chicago decided to go to Gary, Indiana and rob people at a social club. Except that members of the club fired on him. To wit, a local says: We’re in Indiana, they [are] from Illinois, they don’t know people got permits to carry guns, so bang bang, that is what happened

Permits?
Why?

In IN it’s called a license (/pedantry) but yeah, we have them. At least there’s a lifetime one, so we’re on our way.

I occasionally talk to people who move here from Illinois and they don’t have any clue that Indiana doesn’t have the same asinine restrictions as Illinois.
There’s friendliness in the Indiana state house to the idea of constitutional carry too. Which reminds me that I need to bug my state senator about that again.

The “land of Lincoln” is still a slave state. The 1857 Derd Scot decision kept black people as slaves because, as Chief Justice Taney opined, if they were persons then they could carry arms everywhere they went.

Dred Scot that is.
