It's already legal in my county and has been since 09JUN.
Been carrying everyday with nothing more than a 40hr MFT and a FOID card. 40hr MFT is for LEO in this State. But I'm not currently working in that position.

”There is a remote possibility that the veto will not be over-ridden, and Illinois AG immediately appeals to SCOTUS.”
I cannot imagine that happening since they have already taken this before SCOTUS - the McDonald case - which is what got them to where they are. Their only options are to 1) enact a law that will pass the muster of the outcome from McDonald or 2) let the time expire and have constitutional carry - until each locality makes up their own version of a carry law which passes muster from McDonald. Well, there is a very slim chance that they could ask for more time again - but after being given 180 days, then an additional 30 days, I highly doubt the court will let them kick the can even further down the road. I believe Elvis said it best - "It's now or never!" |

At this point in time, the only place the State can get an extension of time (to delay the mandate), is from the 7th Circuit who has already said that the last 30 day extension would be it. No more.
If no law is in place by tomorrow (July 9th), then the mandate will be issued. The mandate can be stayed only if Madigan files for cert and requests the SCOTUS to stay the mandate. This is a game of who blinks first. |

The IL legislature is due back tomorrow so we can expect a vote on whether or not to override Quinn's veto then.

I wonder if the gun crowd in Ill. is asking for a down vote on the veto so they get CC.

Hey, I tried !!!
Like so many politicians, Quinn is just playing it safe. You will never know what is really in his heart as playing politics is more important to these folks. He wants to be able to state, that he did his best to defeat this bill, to his party and constituents. Forget the fact that at last count, there were 12 people shot, in Chicago since last Wednesday. ......
On T.V., he stated that "We don't want a bunch of drunk people, walking around with guns. Well, who in the he!! does. What he doesn't admit, is that the law is the same as drunk driving. Once you are over the legal limit, you CCW is void. Every day you hear about drunk drivers killing folks and there have been permits that have been taking away for this same reason. ... Be Safe !!!

Instead, I think that there are a couple of different things going on right now. First of all, I think Quinn wants to force Madigan's hand and make her appeal to SCOTUS. This way, if SCOTUS upholds the 7th's ruling (and they likely would) he can lay the blame on Madigan for not representing the state well enough (there seems to be a power struggle going on between Quinn and Madigan right now). Secondly, Quinn's position on the issue has been well known for a long time and even the majority of his own party defected and voted for a shall-issue CC bill. This has to be embarrassing to him and, quite frankly, I think that he wants to be obstinate about it because he's angry at the legislature. |

The politicians in Illinois really know how to create suspense.
They anti-gun Senators are making one more run at making the bill even more restrictive by using trailer bills. This is on the day that the CA7 stay of mandate expires. Talk about 11th hour maneuvering! |

Of course.
It's not about serving the majority or the 'will of the people'. It's 'how can I make myself look good at the polls for the next election' They don't give a crap about CCW in this state. They're just trying to keep their jobs.

It doesn't look like Moore is going to SCOTUS, both the Illinois House & Senate just over-rode the Governor's veto.
HB183 has become the law in Illinois - a shall issue CCW bill. |

Illinois Ban on Carry Ruled Unconstitutional (See Page 7)
While its not perfect, at least its something. Now the citizens of Illinois can join those in the other 49 states and carry concealed (well, in 9 months or so as the Illinois Sate Police will take every possible day to get everything finalized).

I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see it drug out more than the 9 months due to processing and training... I see essentially the ISP getting it done and set up, instructors and all at the last moment to meet the court deadlines, THEN starts the process of taking your CC class, applying for the permit, background checks and sending them out. Best bet I see is first permit issued late 2014, early 2015.
It's a start, hopefully this will allow us to revisit the issue later on and get a more gun owner/practical amendment. It's a victory even though it isn't the best law... |

Congrats to those of you in Illinois, and most particularly you long-suffering Chicagoans!

So how does the preemption thing work in Illinois? Will the law apply to Chicago (Cook County)?

For a long time they were debating allowing the counties the ability to change the rules for themselves. That provision was dropped. I am guessing a lawyer will go through Chicago's existing ordinance, cross out the parts that are void because of the new state law, and that will be that. AFAIK, you will need a FOID, CCW, and CFP to carry in Chicago.
IMO, both the CFP and public transit CCW ban are unconstitutional, but we'll have to live with them for now. |

Here Comes Da Judge! Here Comes Da Judge!
So now the only question is when will little Lisa go running to the SC pleading for a stay. Or will little Paddie boy run down to the SC behind her back? But you gotta know that the line in Vegas is 10:1 in favor of the petition. Its now just a matter of when...........
Stay Tuned. Here we go again....... |

ISP is already backlogged on FOID applications, they'll use everyday of that 6 months to set this up. They'll be getting new/renew FOID apps during that time as well. I don't see any ccw permits till early-mid 2014.
But at least we have it. Now, about reciprocity with other states? |
