The likelihood IL goes "may-issue" is close to zero, here's why: The current makeup of the legislature was within inches of a shall-issue CC bill passing a few months ago. Outside of Chicago and its close suburbs, it's all for shall-issue. With the no-carry law struck down, Chicago can't simply try to stonewall, because if nothing is done then technically anyone with an FOID can carry openly or concealed in most places. Chicago definitely doesn't want this. Our side will want something passed to at least have statewide uniformity and keep localities from trying to pass all kinds of nonsense laws.
So in a nutshell the best Chicago can do is maybe try to get training requirements or other requirements(that are common in other states). One of the main legislators who pushed for a watered down CC bill last time said they wouldn't be so nice this time. Chicago had a chance for that watered down bill last time, and WILL pay this time. IL should get a strong CC law, with reciprocity,restaurant/bar carry,exc. which wasn't in the original bill.
