It's interesting that the state with the most open carry laws is right across the river from the state that has the most restrictive gun laws, Illinois. So far, it has not been working out for Illinois...
Yep. And according to libs the Illinois (Chicago) problems are not the fault of their failed gun laws which protect criminals from citizens. The cause of the 2 a day murders in Chicago is the surrounding free states of Indiana & Missouri.

Now how it can be that these free states which are causing Chicago's murder capital status don't share Chicago's high crime rates is something we are not supposed to talk about, think about or notice.
When we started our nation building endeavor in the sandbox I didn't think it could be successful because the seeming irrationality of the people there didn't seem capable of supporting self-governance.
Much like the irrationality of blaming surrounding states for Chicago's high crime rates makes me question the city administrators ability to run their city too.
