For all of you that live in IL, did you already apply for your ccw or did you receive yours?
I recently applied in the beginning of june and cant wait til it arrives.
Any advise on carrying full size?

I drive mainly through the southside and the westside of chicago. There are times where it gets real sketchy. I would prefer to carry then not. Burbs i have no doubt that there will be no need for me to carry but just mainly for work.

To each there own

My ccw instructor told me it should be no more than 90 days due to rush being over. They said by doin fingerprints it would save me 2 weeks or so but eh..

Northern IL is actually getting more crimes ever since they moved all the people that lived in the projects up by Waukegan IL. But like I said, to each their own. If there hasnt been a single crime near you then more power to you

There are people out there who can whoop the hell out of me. Maybe kill me or someone I'm with. 10-40 years ago I kept a gun in my truck but not on me. I wasn't afraid because of being 5'7" tall and 170#. I worked out and for my size was one bad MO FO. Them days are gone. I will not take an ass whooping or ANYBODY trying to hurt my grandkids or wife who are with me. Not gonna happen. Hate getting old but it has happened and there are great ways to defend me and mine, it's called being armed at all times.

I agree, i wont take any chances especially where i work and live now. Better to be safe than sorry.
