8,000 March in Support of Gun Rights in Chicago

At least eight thousand people took part in a gun rights march, in Chicago, on Wednesday.

They were there as part of Gun Owners Lobby Day, an annual event for Illinois.

After the march, they packed the Prairie Capital Convention Center.

Speakers focused on talking about getting concealed carry passed and blocking further weapons bans from being voted through.

Marchers talked of the necessity of guns for self defense and defense of their loved ones.

Organizers blame snow from keeping another fifteen hundred from joining their march.
