This happened just a few blocks from the City's Police Department and County Court House. We don't need CCW here to protect ourselves, we have the police.

That's nothing. This one was right BEHIND the police station in Jeffersonville, IN. I hear the response time was pretty good, for a change.

Two people were killed and a teenager wounded in a triple shooting early this morning outside a Jeffersonville nightclub.

Jeffersonville Police spokesman Todd Hollis identified the slain as DeWuan Latendresse, 26, and April Jones, 21. Maj. Charlie Thompson said the wounded teen was J. Jones Jr., 17. They were all related.

Police were called to the scene outside Priya's Bar and Grill, 253 Quartermaster Court, shortly before 2 a.m. The club is directly behind the Jeffersonville police station in Quartermaster Station.

At least in IN you have the choice on if you want to protect yourself or not! Here we are all forced to be sheep, while the wolves prey on the flock. When will our elected officials learn???

I know. I suffered through 17 years of IL (McHenry), before escaping to civilization (KY). I feel your pain. Maybe one day, Chicago won't rule the kingdom, but I wouldn't count on it.
