Ah, come on cmort, you know that there are other “connected” people in Chicago who have not only registered handguns but have permits to carry. Unfortunately the list is not available to the public.
It is safe to say that with the exception of LEOs and Judges no honest person has been able to register and certainly not to carry concealed. (I think it’s a great leap of faith to say that all Chicago LEOs and Judges are honest, but...)
Ah, but with the right connections in Chicago, all doors can be opened.
One of the sons of a syndicate biggie was arrested for pistol whipping an honest citizen after a minor traffic accident when I lived in Oak Park.
There was a bit of publicity, but the Don’s son was licensed to carry, and the citizen dropped charges. I suspect the suits came to see the citizen with large sums of money and an offer he could not refuse.
