Opinion
Illinois, especially Chicago, ranks as one of the more restrictive and anti-gun states in the United States. Rights for gun owners are not ideal in Illinois. Draconian laws, massive government interference and the anti-gun lobby have done much to infringe upon the natural right of self-defense for every human being living in the Prairie State.
Violence is also rampant in Illinois. Chicago, which until recently had an all out ban on private firearm ownership, is one of the most dangerous places to live. Because of Illinois' stance on guns, it's vehement disregard for firearms and egregious violations of the 2nd Amendment, it gets the lowest of the low rankings with our G.U.A.R.D. score - an embarassing 1 (one). If you are an avid or passionate gun owner, avoid Illinois at all costs!
