Not so bad in my area, but they are banned in town 15 miles from me.
Cops in my town like my dogs, and have even got me once to help them get a stray APBT that didn't like uniforms.
Some cops would have shot first.

Also, the vets aid I go to informed me not to list them as APBT's, because that'll put me on a list of owners of the breed and put target on me.
First time I ever heard that, since BSL is prohibited in IL. Don't know how towns can do it.

Thanks for the welcome everyone!

Welcome. Nice looking dogs!

Eagle !!!! Hey buddy welcome Thanks for coming over! Look forward to chit chattin with you. You already know how I feel about those dogs!

Welcome I am also from Illinois. I know Rep. John Bradley is pushing for bill HB 1080 which will lift the ban on BSL. Right now it is stuck in the rules committe. Below is a link to keep updated with this bill for those of us in Illinois.

Hey welcome! Our last Gov had no intention of letting it happen. who knows what the new gov is guuna do

Welcome .. love your dogs .. hope to hear more posts you have to offer =]

Wow, quite a few from my state I see. Thanks for welcome.
I must admit, however, I leave the politics to others, as I have little tolerance for the paper pushers who come up with all these crazy ideas.
They seem to be quick at making laws they never have to follow.

Just imagine if all dogs who bit for no reason were banned...all those ankle biter lovers might actually start seeing eye to eye with us. LOL.
