If anyone ever questioned aldercreature Burke's credentials for carrying a concealed weapon, don't worry. Eddie has a back-up plan that should cover everything:
- It might surprise some citizens that, in addition to being Chicago’s most powerful alderman, Ed Burke is a private eye.
Ald. Burke (14th), who chairs the influential City Council Finance Committee is, according to state records, a licensed private detective, trained and authorized to carry a semiautomatic weapon.
Burke also is a licensed private security contractor.
He is approved by Illinois statute to carry a gun while “in the performance of his . . . duties” and carry it “to and from” his place of employment.
Where is that place of employment?
Burke’s application is silent on that except to say that Ed Burke employs Ed Burke.
Burke also was trained — and approved — in 1999 to use a shotgun and rifle.
Golly. All that AND bodyguards, too.
And that State Senator Trotter? He has a security guard job that allows him to carry a weapon, too.
And wonder of wonders, outspoken anti-gunner and author of the "assault weapons ban" Senator Diane Feinstein has :::gasp!!!::: a Concealed Carry permit from California.
And Harry Reid, an anti-gun senator from Nevada, carried a gun "everywhere [he] went" while serving on the Nevada Gaming Commission
And Rahm Emanuel, a midget tyrant who succeeded another midget tyrant, traipses around Chicago telling everyone how safe it is, how the should come visit and spend their money here, all while surrounded by how many armed body guards? And his home, over at 4228 N. Hermitage? Surrounded 24 hours a day by marked and unmarked squad cars. And a heavy weapons team. Why all the guns? Why all the guns carried and owned by democrats who claim guns are the problem, guns don't protect you from harm, guns walk around and jack up the murder rate in Chicago on a daily basis.
Anyone sensing a little bit of hypocrisy here? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
