I was born and raised in Illinois and still have family there. So i'm concerned for them. On top of that, I'd like to be able to provide for my protection when I go to visit them.

Does that speak more to my naiveté or your paranoia?

If you wish to call me paranoid, go ahead, so long as if I ever need the weapon, I can have it.
