They don't issue licenses for concealed firearms at all, not even recognized from other states. It's the only place in the nation to have this stringent of a law and not allow concealed firearms. Just look it up if you really want details, just trust me that their regulations are one of the toughest in the nation. And does this help reduce crime?
Nineteen shot in Chicago night of mayhem
Nineteen people were shot in seven attacks overnight in Chicago, as the US city's gun violence epidemic continued.
Thirteen of the victims were shot within a half-hour period, including eight in a drive-by shooting on a single street.
Chicago officials have been battling a sharp increase in shootings and homicides, with some elected officials arguing gangs do not fear the police.
The city's murder rate has spiked 29% year-over-year as of this month.
By that time in 2011, 270 people had been killed in the city, according to data complied by the local newspaper RedEye Chicago. In 2012, that number is 348.
Most of the violence has been in Chicago's troubled south and west sides, but there also have been a handful of incidents in the downtown area.
