Don, You May be Confused
As an aside...a small town near where I grew up in the suburbs of Chgo called "Morton Grove, Illinois"....a few years ago...MADE IT MANDATORY THAT EVERY HOUSEHOLD HAVE A FIREARM! Well....this "dastardly anti-Liberal deed" caused many "Liberal" groups to attempt to stop it in court....to no avail. Thus...the "crime-wave" they were having in that suburb of Chgo (break-ins, hold-ups, rapes) went down to NIL....ALMOST ZERO Break-ins, Hold-Ups and Rapes!"
Don I live near Morton Grove, IL...you've actually got it backwards. Morton Grove passed a law in 1981 BANNING the right to have firearms in the home.
Crime rates in the next 2 decades barely changed in Morton Grove.
However at the same time, Kennesaw Georgia, passed an ordinance mandating a firearm and ammunition must be kept in the home. In Kennesaw over the next 2 decades crime rates PLUMMETED... perhaps thats the town you were thinking of?
