So Chicago is the latest in a line of areas relaxing their gun laws. While cities and states of the East coast, still reeling from tragedies such as Sandy Hook, seem to be getting more strict, a judge in Chicago has done the opposite.

The most concerning for me is the ability to “gift” a gun to someone. So commit a crime then “gift” the weapon?

There may be an appeal, so we shall see how all of this plays out….Chicago’s Gun Law Changes

The twist in the story: she arrived on the porch, with a dead cell phone, seeking assistance at 1:30am.  The homeowner has stated that he thought she was breaking in…and that the 12 gauge shotgun accidentally discharged. Sound familiar? And now…the autopsy reveals that Renisha McBride was shot in the face, causing her death. Accidental discharge the face? Investigation is ongoing, but to me, the writing on the wall says Stand Your Ground will be heavily featured in the decisions made going forward…stay tuned…. http://bigstory.ap.org/article/autopsy-detroit-woman-19-shot-face-porch
