    Oh yeah, I'd like to see someone who drives a cadillac try to turn a truck, they'd need about an airport runway by my calculations.

    Yet another example of truck driver heroism: while operating his truck in city traffic, Driver Munoz got shot then pulled his truck over to safety--safety for everyone except him, 4-wheelers can't even pull over when they make a phone call

    Actually Oak Brook is in DuPage County-25 minutes outside of Chicago city limits. And the gun laws have nothing to do with it(even then DuPage County is notorious for having police departments that will pull you over for ANYTHING). Knowing that county,the sheriffs department there will want the perpetrators more than the state police will.

    It won't take long. That portion of I-88 has traffic surveillance cameras so it's only a matter of time before they get the perps vehicle and/or plate number. IDOT and Illinois State Police District 15 barracks are less than 10 minutes away from the crime scene in Downers Grove so rest assured,they'll get their suspect.

    Maybe set up a public shooting range with ex marines instructing the gang bangers how to hit their intended targets. If you own a gun you need to know how to use it. I went to a range once and tried shooting my pistol gangbanger style and I couldn't hit anything. It might look cool in the movies but it sucks for accuracy.
