Michael Holub (La Grange) and Daniel McCollum (La Grange Park) weigh in on the state's potentially changing gun laws and increased sales numbers.
The chiefs of the La Grange and La Grange Park police departments, Michael Holub and Daniel McCollum repsectively, say the effect of state and national firearms trends is difficult to estimate locally, The Doings La Grange reports.
