Fuck Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson
There are two parts.
Part 1: Illinois Letter
Part 2: NY State Police requested
FL detective to visit me
Part 1: Illinois Letter
I put this in writing and sent an email AND I mailed a paper letter to the Governor and Mayor listed below… I think I covered all of the parts of why Illinois is wrong for me when I visit them from Florida….
Please notify the Illinois Governor and Chicago’s Mayor about my post and I am driving to Chicago and suburbs between Thanksgiving week, Christmas week or New Years week. #JDPritzer @JDPritzer #Illinois @Illinois #chicagosmayor @chicagosmayor
With Guns........We Are 'Citizens'.
Without Guns...We Are 'Subjects'.
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson are complete morons and they are against the U.S. Constitutions and especially the 2nd amendment.
-
2nd AMENDMENT ---->
-
The 2nd amendment is NOT a “lesser” amendment than the other amendments.
-
This means states cannot reduce it to a lower constitutional right than the other constitutional rights.
Pritzker and Johnson CANNOT and Will NOT reduce the 2ndAmendment of the Constitution to be ONLY for Illinois Citizens. (Ever hear of the U.S. Constitution and also the U.S. Supreme Court cases including the Bruen Decision?)
I am from Florida and I carry both of my 2 guns pictured in this post while I am in Illinois. (The one in orange is not a firearm but is a self-defense instrument that is legal in all 50 states (from Byrna.com). Click thumbnail for larger image....
Hey Illinois and Chicago, what are you going to do? Look at the 2nd Amendment AND also the U.S. Supreme Court Cases including the Bruen Decision.
I CARRY whenever I go to ILLINOIS and/or CHICAGO and I am not an Illinois resident because I am from Florida. My relatives are from the Chicago area (Villa Park, Elmhurst) and I can visit them. PS: I used to have an Illinois FOI Card and I also used to be a Federal Law Enforcement Officer in Illinois years ago. I do have the Florida carry permit card though not needed in Florida.
I carry a lethal firearm and also a non-lethal gun whenever I visit Illinois from Florida (I always drive). I go one time a year for up to 1 week. When I am driving, I keep both guns (one a firearm and one non-lethal Byrna) holstered and, on my passenger seat hidden from view with a hand towel over them - but quickly reachable.
--> Of course, I put them on my gun belt whenever I get out of my car - never leaving them vulnerable to theft or I keep them locked away not in the car. I always Conceal carry instead of open carry.
-->
CHICAGO IS VERY DANGEROUS
Chicago is a VERY, VERY dangerous place. Each visit to Illinois I usually go to the downtown Chicago area and whenever I do I carry both guns each and every single time. I go to the Magnificent Mile for shopping, the Science Museum with its coal mine tour, Navy Pier, sailing on my uncle’s sailboat, downtown Thanksgiving Day Parade etc...
-->
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS: MOST IMPORTANT...We don't need the states permission for "constitutional rights".
My "constitutional rights" don't end at state borders: 2nd amendment, free speech, freedom of religion etc. are still valid entering any other state - it's the U.S. Constitution after all.
We don't lose our "constitutional rights" whenever we enter another state.
-->
PRIVILEGES: VERY IMPORTANT...
Nor do my "privileges" end at state borders either.
Driver’s license, car registration, car insurance, marriage licenses, divorce decree, ability to buy real estate, buy tobacco products, buy alcohol etc. are still valid entering any other state (if 21 or older, which I am).
-->
I DARE THEM...
I triple-dog-dare dare Illinois State Police or Chicago PD to do anything. Thank Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson for being such idiots.
-->
SUMMARY...
I have the 2nd amendment right of self-defense and self-protection in all 50 states as a U.S. Citizen and as a human being. It's not a second class right, it's not lesser than freedom of religion or speech.
DO I NEED STATE PERMISSION TO PRAY or POST ON SOCIAL MEDIA?
NO, so why do I need state right to carry? All are in the constitution. 2nd amendment is not a lesser right than the other amendments.
RELIGION: Do I need state government permission to go to church or synagogue?
NO. Because it is a constitutional right.
SPEECH: Do I need state government permission to speak, write letters to the editor of a newspaper, post on social media, peacefully protest?
NO. Because it is a constitutional right.
2A: Do I need state government permission to carry a gun in my car or on my gun belt.
NO. Because it is a constitutional right.
Of course there is no carrying in any school, anywhere on any school property or at any school function even if it's not on school property, and do not carry in any government building or at any airport/airlines etc....
Part 2:
NY State Police requested
FL detective to visit me
2-3 years ago, I went to New York (upstate NY) to a 3-gun competition for 62 or over. NY State Police knew I was driving (I rented) and bringing my AR15 for the competition and a handgun for self-defense. I emailed them asking some basic carry questions. NY State Police said I can’t bring my rifle or handgun at all unless passing through the entire state only stopping for fuel/food.
NY State Police said I can’t have them with me at all if I am staying anywhere overnight in NY State because firearms in NY State are only for NY State citizens not anyone from any other state. (NY State Police are morons for saying this)
3-gun competition: I did terrible as it was my very first time. I am a little better today as I have tried it a couple more times at a local outdoor range.
When driving, I kept my handgun on the passenger seat in a holster but covered up from view. When out of the rental car I carried it on a gun belt.
NY State Police saw my social media posts about my driving to NY State and called my own Florida County Sheriff's Office who then sent a Sheriff's Detective to my home. I captured some of it on my doorbell camera that I saved...
Nothing happened except he wanted to ask me questions. It was a knock-and-talk where he was able to walk to my front door as anyone else could such as a neighbor or salesperson can.
But today it's different.
Now I have a completely fenced in yard including the front yard with a 6-foot-tall chain link fence. AND I know better not to say anything at all. Now there is no more knock-and-talk ability because I keep the fence’s gate shut, chained and padlocked.
So, Chicago and Illinois don't bother contacting anyone in Florida because of the reasons I list in this post above and I won't talk to them because they can read this post. This post is 100% legal as a protected 1st amendment right. No threats, just that I want to protect myself – self-defense (only if needed)
