YEAH BABY, this is CLOSE to happeninng now! 
HOWEVER, it does seem to good to be true and I bet we end up with a watered down version that gets passed, that does not allow us to conceal carry in Chicago.

Decided to get a compact pocket size gun. Based on Jimmy P's recommendation, I bought one of these at Gats last night.

It was between the S&W and this http://www.ruger.com/products/lcp/models.html The S&W felt better and has an external safety, which I really wanted in a carry gun.

Another reason to stay out of that crime-riddled cesspool. Going east of Mannheim Road starts me breaking out in hives.

Even the areas that used to be considered nice are horrible now. All you hear about are groups of wilding teens roaming down Michigan Ave harassing people.

I love that little S&W .380 Body Guard pocket pistol, would have preferred that over my Ruger LCP. I might have to upgrade. 
What was the price at Gats $420?

URGENT ALERT - YOUR IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED
SENATE PRESIDENT CULLERTON AND SENATOR KOTOWSKI SCHEMING TO DERAIL CONCEALED CARRY
Senate gun grabbers John Cullerton, Dan Kotowski and Kwame Raoul were busy this holiday weekend constructing a plan to derail the passage of concealed carry legislation.
As most of you know, House Speaker Madigan and Rep. Phelps last week hammered out a concealed carry bill (SB2193) that passed the House with 85 votes. Although the bill was not 100% of what law-abiding Illinois gun owners were hoping for, SB2193 serves as a good baseline for the institution of state-wide personal protection measures.
As expected, anti-gun extremists in the Illinois Senate went to work immediately with a plan to shut down SB2193 when it came over from the House. Based on what the ISRA has learned, Cullerton-Kotowski-Raoul have come up with a bill of their own that would have so many exemptions that concealed carry permits would be impossible to get. Furthermore, there are reportedly so many restrictions in their proposal that, even if you were fortunate enough to be granted a carry permit, there would be very few areas where you would be able to carry legally. Of course, the places where concealed carry would be the most necessary are exempted in the Cullerton-Kotowski-Raoul "no carry" plan.
One thing is for certain, Senate President John Cullerton has refused to allow Sen. Forby to call SB2193 for a vote in the Senate - effectively killing the bill.
We are not 100% sure as of yet what the Cullerton-Kotowski-Raoul bill number will be. We think it will come as an amendment to HB0183.
HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED TO DO TO STOP CULLERTON FROM HIJACKING CONCEALED CARRY:
1. Immediately call your Illinois Senator and politely tell the person on the phone that you are a law-abiding Illinois gun owner and that you oppose Senate President Cullerton's attempts to hijack concealed carry. Politely tell the person that you expect the Senator to vote against any concealed carry proposal Cullerton tries to advance. If you do not know who your Illinois Senator is, click this link:
http://www.elections.il.gov/district...essfinder.aspx
2. Please pass this alert on to your family and friends, ask them to make calls as well.
3. Please post this alert to any and all Internet bulletin boards or blogs to which you belong.
REMEMBER: The fate of concealed carry is in your hands!

No doubt that bill that passed through The House on Friday was too good to be true and we are going to end up with crap.

But I did become skeptical pretty quickly thereafter. 
This State is the WORST, every aspect of it just wants to make me
I really hope your new S&W Bodyguard does not turn into a S&W paperweight!!

It probably won't pass the house and the June 9 deadline will come and then the fed constitutional law will go in effect and Chicago or anyone else won't be able to block anything, I think that would be good.
