I think the NRA is trying to keep the pressure on so Illinois doesn't slow-walk the process into eternity. I think there is a real possibility that the ISP would do that. With the threat that some form of carry might come any day - without 16 hours of training

probably bothers the antis. That would motivate the ISP's anti-gun boss Governor Quinn to get the training requirements and permitting process in place.

But I think that calling a settlement meeting is not helping. It gives Illinois more time to stall and stall.

IMO as soon as the antis believe that FOID carry is not a possibility, the process will start moving molasses slow.

The plaintiff Mary Shepard was attacked in a church. A state senator Dan Kotowski is introducing a bill to ban carry in churches. Wouldn't that effort be enough to show the judges that this case is not moot?
