Lose FOID card, keep your guns: Crystal Lake lawyer's story case in point

After allegedly finding a loaded weapon in the possession of a Crystal Lake attorney during a drunken-driving investigation, police said they made a bigger discovery when they searched the man's home: a cache of 56 handguns and rifles and thousands of rounds of ammunition.

Authorities apparently had not confiscated the weapons earlier from the lawyer, Donald F. Franz, despite the fact that his arrest in January marked the second time in about nine months that he has been accused of carrying a loaded gun in his car after his firearm owner's identification was revoked, court and police records show.

""a cache of 56 handguns and rifles and thousands of rounds of ammunition""

If you lived in Chicago, this amount of weapons and ammunition would be the minimum required for family protection.

On another board, in debates about crime and gun control in Chicago, I've often said that more guns literally couldn't make things any worse.
