Great reply! Sounds like he may be one of the one-in-four he mentioned.
It's a wonderful day in the hood...

I'm posting this from my New Hotness computer with the much-improved video capabilities, so I should be able to have the video of the 6/10 meeting up soon. I've been finding that everyone I talk to about CCW says "You really think that could happen?" It's been a big help to be able to say "Have you heard what's going on in Rockford?"

NICE! I'm excited to have the Sheriff's speech posted.

This is on a sad note that I write. A CCW supporter, a friend and my partner in District 9 of the Winnebago County Board passed away this morning at 8:55am after a short bout with cancer. She will be missed by all of us. A fighter for the rights of all Americans.

I'd like to extend my sympathies to you, Fred. Cancer is an ugly thing. May she rest peacefully now. I am sure she will be sorely missed.

Neither do I expect to be a victim of violent crime; indeed, it's highly unlikely. But in the unlikely event of a violent crime, not having the means to stop the criminal could lead to serious property loss or personal injury to myself and my family. It is simply a matter of common-sense prudence."
