Unfortunately it's kind of a joke here in Chicago too. You'll hear everyone saying "Suns out guns out" and crap like that. Especially holiday weekends are the worst. I'm not sure why it's this way, but I have a cop neighbor and he tells me summer holiday weekends are the worst for the force. Tons of overtime to be had and tons of hooligans shooting each other. This year the police union told the officers not to take overtime [1]. Unfortunately I'm worried it will end up in more shootings.

Heh, "suns out guns out" in my part of the world means you can wear tank tops to show off your muscles 'guns'.

For all the flak Chicago gets in the news for gun deaths, on a per capita basis it's fun death rate is actually a lot better than many other cities in the US.
