what I am interested in, and there would be no way to know for sure.....of the 8.8% of chicago proper foid holders, how many of those individuals own handguns??? I've been a foid holder for around 6-7 years, and only up until this past year, my collection only consisted of long guns, all 4 registered with the city of chicago.... I guess my point is, if anyone is trying to draw a correlary between numbers of foid holder to handgun owners, one should not assume that every foid holder is directly affected by our ridiculous state/county/city laws and ordinances. in other words.... I've carried a foid for 7 years, and have owned at least one long gun for just as long..... I have to admit, with a fair amount of shame, that I only really began to CARE what's been going on with 2a rights a few months ago.....like 3 seconds after taking delivery of my first handgun. I am sure that there are a percentage of foid holders that don't give a crap wether or not illinois will ever be a "shall issue state" submitted for your consideration with love, Beezil
