Not at all surprised the bill is favorable -- remember, the Ill legislature is not the city of Chicago. They were thisclose to overriding a veto of an earlier carry bill.

Completely untrue. They were close to getting super majority to get the bill passed, NOT for overriding a veto. Overriding a veto is traditionally MUCH harder than getting the bill passed in the first place, even one needing a super majority.

Remember folks: if this does NOT pass you get full-on constitutional carry in July, because there's a "death sentence" on the existing laws banning carry.

So this critter better be VERY good indeed...this is one situation, possibly the first ever, in which we can indeed say "no".

You're assuming that a lot of people in the legislature want constitutional carry. I don't see that happening, a lot of the "pro-gun" legislators will compromise before they would let things get that far. Wanting a concealed carry bill is a far cry from wanting constitutional carry. There's far too much fear out there, especially in northern IL, for that to happen.
