17. Incredible coincidence, I'm sure

The highest count of Concealed Carry permits in Chicago are the South and near West sides. Neighborhoods with 80%+ minority residents. (Just an anomaly, I'm sure)

At the same time there are 3 new large shooting ranges just opened or being built in the Southwest Cook County area. One opened just across the west border of Cook County, another opens next month in South Cook County, and a third is under construction just South of Cook County.

Stupid, stupid people, spending millions of $$$ building new buildings, getting expensive and hard to get County permits, and hiring people.

I guess they just aren't as smart as our resident gun control fans that know there are fewer gun owners every year as a matter of faith and all the old white men with all the guns are dying off.

I suppose those hour + waiting times for a lane at the current ranges are Gun Nutz imagination too.

Boy, all those old white men are really getting desperate.

But I've noticed that we keep getting inundated with "surveys" and "studies" showing how wrong we all are, from the grabber side of the "discussion. Not much in the way of actual facts, like sinking gun sales, closed ranges, manufacturers struggling to stay open or such, but lots of "studies" we're asked to accept and swallow whole.
