Long time anti gun Chicago Alderman arrested on corruption charges had 23 guns in his office.

Guns were confiscated as a condition of his bail.

Unprotected now in a violent city of his making.

Surface streets clean, seemed relatively safe, only a couple seemingly off-kilter homeless people. Cops in Groups of fours -- but didnt seem very attentive.

Subterranean streets were a different matter. Grimy, gloomy, guys sitting around drinking at the intersections. Uber driver took a wrong turn once and we ended up down there driving wrong way on a one-way street. Quite the tour.

The U-505 was a neat tour. Highly recommended if you go to Chicago.
Addendum: I saw a very few gun-buster signs (No Berettas!), and IIRC they were only on the hotels. The Swissotel had a gun buster and a little bit of verbiage acknowledging that licensed concealed carry was legal, but they didn't want it on their property.
