I encourage all of you to read the linked editorial. It is eye opening to me to read this from Mr. Zimmerman. I have been reading his editorials for years excoriating any effort to allow citizens to have CCW in Illinois. He has been as enthusiastically anti-gun as anyone I have ever read. Reading this editorial, however, I see perhaps some light at the end of the tunnel. If Mr. Zimmerman can be brought around to a common sense, logical way of thinking about guns in general and CCW in particular, by the shootings at Virginia Tech, perhaps there are others out there whose thinking is being swayed.
