Chicago Lawmaker Encourages Constituents to Arm Up for Self-Defense

Illinois State Rep. La Shawn Ford (D-Chicago) responded to the Windy City’s latest round of weekend shootings by encouraging his constituents to arm themselves for self-defense. At least 41 people were shot, nine fatally, in Chicago July 12-14. Bullets struck Ford’s car during one of the shootings, prompting him to tell WLS-AM 890 News:

I’m working with a concealed carry instructor and we’re going to go through the neighborhood and we’re going to encourage people to get their concealed carry license because it makes no sense for people not to have the protections that they need.

At least 66 people were shot in Chicago, five fatally, over the 2019 Fourth of July weekend. Additionally, at least 56 were shot, four fatally, the weekend prior to the Fourth of July.
On February 3, Chicago Business quoted State Rep. Ford pushing more federal and state gun control.

I thought only cops and criminals could carry guns in Chicago.

Typical dumbocrat thinking:
Arm the local citizens all within the control of State Laws.
And on a Federal level tighten the laws in all of the surrounding States to be just like Illinois, where the laws are challenged in court regularly.
