Illinois: Women Advised to Use Combs and Keys Against Rapists

As reported by the Rockford Star, “Women who log onto an Illinois State Police Web page will find they are advised to protect themselves [in case of sexual assault] with a ‘rat tail comb, keys, pens and pencils’ against an assailant armed with a gun or knife. As a last resort, women are told put their fingers into their throats and to make themselves vomit, apparently to make themselves less attractive.”

“I find that demeaning and insulting,” said Valinda Rowe, IllinoisCarry.com spokeswoman, at a recent meeting of gun rights advocates who wanted Illinois to legalize concealed carry for its citizens. “Illinois is the only state in the union not to have legislation permitting some form of concealed carry. Many advocates believe that may change as early as this spring.”

One large problem? “Gov. Pat Quinn (D) has consistently promised to veto concealed carry legislation if it were to reach his desk.”

“You have got to change the leadership in Springfield,” said U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, who spoke in favor of carry at the meeting. “Those who protect your freedom, reward them. Those who don’t, kick them out of office.”

Of note, once the story got out about the Illinois State Police’s “advice” to potential victims of sexual assault? That particular webpage, referenced in a number of media stores, was apparently pulled out of circulation

Sad and tragic. I see only positive gun law progress in the news wire so hopefully IL and NJ will see their fill in the coming years. Guns ownership is way up and there's no denying the stats.

You do know this is the Brady Bunch and their ilk that we are talking about? They utterly fail in all arguments where logic and facts are used and resort to obfuscation and rhetoric when they feel the least bit challenged.

Its like arguing against religious zealots no matter what division of faith. The brady bunch wields as much influence as the other end of pro gun owners that want rpgs and grenades to be legal to protect their rights. Its all about a happy medium and right now the pendulum is swinging back to favoring gun ownership.

The Brady Bunch wields way more influence than the rpg proponents. I've never even heard of a rpg proponent group.

Ok... the NRA's Wet Dream vs the Brady Bunch's Wet Dream of gun laws. As long as both keep at it victories and losses will be traded, but I believe you cant fight the statistics of voting citizens lawfully purchasing firearms.

Again, you use logic and facts....
