Sorry, but this is a rather long story. I'll summarize. A little while ago, my daughter, who lives in Chicago, had to get a restraining order against a former boyfriend, but the boyfriend repeatedly violated it (and the police refused to take action). I gave her a handgun for protection IN THE HOME (not to be carried, because Illinois has laws against that . . . for now). After everything "cooled down," my daughter returned the gun to me. Somebody reported my daughter to the Department of Children's Services because my grandson said he saw the gun in his mother's room (although it was placed so that he could not get access to it.). My daughter told DCS that the gun had been returned. DCS called me to verify this. I verified that it was not in my daughter's home. She asked if I currently had the gun, and I refused to answer. She told me that it was dangerous to have a gun in a home and to let a child see it. I told her that it was a constitutional right to have a gun in a home and that seeing a gun never killed anyone. She seemed offended and hung up.
