If this somehow passes I will go down to hell and ice skate with the devil.
I would love to see it pass, but you have SO many democratic "machine" anti-gun law makers at both the state and national level in/from Illinois, including our Governor Patt Quinn I just can't see how it will pass unless it is simply used as a bone to make the state level Republicans play ball on a host of other issues. Ice skates aside, crossing my fingers that I would see such a bill signed by our Governor in my lifetime. |

Illinois RTC. Call your reps...NOW!!!
All,
We are sooo close to RTC in Illinois(YES, ILLINOIS!). The House vote is probably this week and definitely by May 6. We are flirting with a supermajority of 71 votes which would eliminate Chicago home rule and make it veto proof when it crosses Quinn's desk. PLEASE, call your representatives and tell them to support HB148...NOW! We may finally be joining the ranks of citizens instead of subjects! Call now. Find your rep here: http://www.ilga.gov/

Like many in downstate IL, my State Representative and State Senator are pro-2nd Amendment, but so what? If it weren't for Chicago and the collar county communities IL would have had concealed carry years ago, but the Chicagoland area dominates the entire state politically. Its not a Republican vs Democrat issue, but a Chicago vs the rest of the state conflict. We need to keep trying, but obviously the voters in Chicago and its immediate vicinity are still knee-jerk liberal Democrats, as evidenced by the elections of anti-gunners like Pat Quinn for Governor and Rom Emmanuel for mayor of Chicago. I believe the only way I will ever get to legally carry a gun in IL is if I can somehow get elected as a Chicago city alderman who apparently are given permission do do so despite the lack of any applicable IL law.

Duplicate threads merged.
Now... Folks, this is where we can all help our friends in Illinois. Gray Peterson (Peterson v. LaCabe) posted the following over at CalGuns (he's a regular member there). It's a great Idea and we should all help out!! Quote:

I have emailed her, met her, marched to her office in Springfield for IGOLD, and even offered to take her shooting and introduce her to our sport. She has tentatively accepted the offer but said she probably won't be able to free up any time until the session(and vote)are over. I'll keep trying!

Call Patt Quinn too! Passing this in the state house will do no good if it gets vetoed by Mr. Quinn! "Gov. Pat Quinn announced his opposition to concealed carry legislation up for debate this week in the Illinois House, saying allowing private citizens to carry loaded weapons is dangerous and would be detrimental to public safety." |

Gov. Quinn can be reached via email as follows:
http://www2.illinois.gov/gov/Pages/C...eGovernor.aspx Hearing from out of staters who have CCW rights can't hurt. We could use some help here guys. |

Gov Quinn Says No Way
The Gov about said about an hour again, that he will not sign the bill and pitch it out.

It passed the Agriculture and Conservation Committee today in a 12-1 vote, but Quinn is saying he'll veto if it passes.

I sent an email to Gov Quinn though I have my doubts as to what good it will do. I have a feeling that Chicago will have to be dragged into legal CCW kicking and screaming, possibly by SCOTUS.

Good luck, we're pulling for you here across the river. I'd love to be able to carry when I visit my in-laws.
