It's about damn time...
Guess I won't be allowed to make fun of my friends from Chi-Town for coming from one of the most retarded states. Word now is that this is going to probably go to the SCOTUS... D.C. is probably next in line to have 2A win as well.

The state of Illinois would have to allow ordinary citizens to carry weapons under a federal appeals court ruling issued today, but the judges also gave lawmakers 180 days to put their own version of the law in place.

In a 2-1 decision that is a major victory for the National Rifle Association, the U.S. Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals said the state's ban on carrying a weapon in public is unconstitutional.

I'm fairly surprised by this. I never would have guessed this would happen in our current political environment. Nonetheless, it's good news.

Right to work passes in Michigan, CCW ban overturned in Obamaland.

Do you think people needed the eye-opening experience of this past election to get into gear? Hopefully this is a sign of things to come across the country for the next 4 years.

Tell me what you know about the "Right to work" thingamajig. How is it good/bad, and what it changes, etc. I know a ton of states are supposed "Right to work" states, but not CO.
