And yet Wisconsin and Indiana are within 30 minute drive of Chicago downtown. (32 minutes to East Chicago with traffic according to google maps, 40 minutes to Gary Indiana, and 1 hour to Kenosha Wisconsin). Indiana is even closer to the South Side, which is where the worst gang violence is from what I've heard.
Indiana is an open carry state with almost no restrictions on handgun purchase according to wikipedia.

If you don't have a car, you can take mass transit from Chicago to East Chicago, Indiana. Takes 49 minutes according to google maps, and costs $5.25 one way as far as I can tell.
