Mailbox mystery ...

Dropped into the mail this morn ...
A solicitation to enroll in a Utah CCW class.

No big deal. Get these all the time.
So whats the mystery?
The sender was my local Harley Davidson dealer.
Not a gun shop. Not a gun rights organization.
A motorcycle dealer.

... Some Unlawful Use of a Weapon (UUW) charges are a misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in county jail and a fine of $2,500. However, the vast majority of weapons charges or Unlawful Use of Weapon (UUW) charges are felonies.

Some go beyond carrying, turning their neighborhoods into active free fire zones.

That gets ya into Aggravated Discharge of a Firearm territory. Once ya cross into this zone, the price can get heavy.

... Class X felony for which the sentence shall be a term of imprisonment of no less than 10 years and not more than 45 years ...

Second City Cop usually has a round-up of shootings in and around Chicago.
