I'm southwest of Chicago, right along Cook/Will county. My finace, awesomely enough, came from an anti-gun family, and I've swayed both her, and her father's opinion on firearms.
We actually have a zombie themed wedding, and the favors we're looking at doing are going to be 9mm on ball chain necklaces. Hopefully it'll go over well. Even though I'm in the land of the oppressed, most of my family and friends grew up around guns.
I've saved a decent amount of 9mm brass, so I'm going to pick up some bullets and try to seat them and see how it goes this weekend. I'll keep you all updated. Thanks again for the ideas and the well wishes.
