We just got back from the Heller rally in downtown Chicago and let me say these are some happy people. I’d estimate the crowd at between 200-300 (and I suck at estimating crowds!) Folks of every size, shape, color and religion were jubilant with the recent Heller decision and looking forward to being able to carry a handgun as a law abiding citizen of Chicago.

Here are some photos…

The crowd! The NRA folks were disappointed at the turn out, all I can say is for Chicago, on a Friday afternoon a crowd of this size was damn near miraculous! And it really speaks to the passion folks feel for this issue.

A smattering of good signs & buttons and what not…

And all sorts of peoples…

And lots of kids…

As I mentioned above the mood today was ebullient and infectious. People were very happy about the decision and weren’t afraid to show it. I also noticed lots of interested people walking by and actually taking literature and so far as I could tell not throwing it away. It will be very interesting to see how this issue plays out here in Chicago.
