This man was charged with AGGRAVATED unlawful use of a weapon.

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/l...,5025257.story

He didn't even violate Illinois law. He had his firearmsin in his checked luggage, which is against Greyhound company policy, but it is not a violation of IL state law.

His bond was set at $50,000

When he finally got before a judge, the charges were dismissed.

This man actually did break the law:

He was out on only $25,000 bail for a weapons charge, where this man actually did violate IL UUW law, while he was out on bail he murdered a 2 year old.

I could fill a whole page where prosecutors could have brought weapons charges against NYC, LA and Chicago gang members but did not.
