I have a feeling Chicago will go the route of DC. Technically allowing it but in reality making it such a drawn out expensive process that its a de-facto ban from the administrative side. Someone did an article about getting a gun in DC it was something like several hundred dollars and 6 months of considerable effort to finally get permission to buy a hand gun.
I am glad to see someone in Detroit wising up though. I wonder how long the new Chief will hold that position though once the Mayor and City Council has a talk with him. Then again it got so bad there they may be desperate enough to put ideology aside.
