Chicago - Park District Balks at Gun-Rights Group Meeting

[DonP]

I'm sure Daley had absolutely nothing to do with this African American Gun Rights Group meeting permit being revoked. They claimed it was just a"glitch" in the system that revoked their permit a few days before their meeting and threw all their fliers in the garbage.

"Gerald Vernon says he did everything he should have to obtain a permit to hold a meeting at the Tuley Park field house on the south side. He told the park supervisor he expected 150 to 200 people to attend, filled out the paperwork she gave him, paid a $100 fee, and walked away thinking he'd reserved a meeting room for the evening of June 30. The group that would be convening was Illinois Carry, an organization advocating for the right to bear concealed firearms."

But on Wednesday, a week before the scheduled date of the event, he got a call telling him his permit had been revoked.

Vernon says a Tuley Park official informed him he has to submit a new permit application that will be reviewed before he gets approval for the meeting. But when I contacted the park and asked about it, I was told the event had been canceled altogether.

Says Vernon: "This just sounds a whole lot like Daley's bullshit."

Note: this article was written by Mick Dumke the same writer that Daley threatened with a rifle at a press event two weeks ago.

Doesn't sound like Daley is too fond of the 1st amendment either. Maybe an official Chicago state religion is next for him.

No guns, no freedom to assemble, no pesky press questions. Nice example with a "D" behind his name. <sarcasm>
