There's another thread on this, we were behind a little before, we've pulled ahead but it seems there are some anti's who've taken note; they're not going to let us run away with it.

Arms are the only true badge of liberty. The possession of arms is the distinction of a free man from a slave. - Andrew Fletcher 1698

Uhmmm?!?!?!?!?????

Two hundred votes in two minutes.  

Results are:

Yes 25%
No 70%

with 4782 voting.

That is about 5 times the number of responses for the other recent polls.

Me thinks mischief is afoot.

Look at the vote totals: over 5 times the highest of any poll -- someone has an application that is defeating the system. I guess the only valid poll will be the one that has a validation code. You can vote more than once but you will have to take all afternoon to vote a few hunded times.

Votebots have rendered the online polls useless.  I'm not going to even try anymore!

I think your right in assuming the online polls are not much use. I was on Senator Dan Rutherfords sight and we were loosing there too. The only way we are going to get concealed carry in Illinois is to get the women involved. They have more clout than we give them credit for. Talk your ladies into raising cane about it like Valinda Rowe does and we will get somewhere. Hope to see you all in Springfield.

Maybe on the next poll, somebody could pm a mod/admin and then they could send out  a site wide PM.  then the "other side" wouldnt learn about the poll from us.  just a thought, not sure if it would work.
