No, Fed. Constitutional Carry won't be as simple as that, and you would be subject to arrest in most jurisdictions, and then would have to fight things out with Attorneys beating the criminal charges filed again you=MAJOR expense and headaches.

They will pass a watered down bill most likely not allowing us to Carry Conceal within the City limits, where we need it most.

 

Thanks Jimmy, I thought that it prevented Chicago and others from having seperate laws, kinda stupid if each municipality has a different law, the average person could never be up on each law,, what bull crap,,,,

IL LEGISLATIVE UPDATE: Coming down to the wire… UPDATED

http://www.gunssavelife.com/?p=7703




More importantly!

Statewide cellphone driving ban

In other action, the House sent Quinn legislation to ban most cellphone use while driving. Exceptions would include hands-free devices under a bill sponsored by Rep. John D'Amico, D-Chicago. Tickets would be $75 and increase for repeat offenders. Chicago and Evanston already ban the practice.

Puppy lemon law

The Senate sent the governor a bill which aims to protect buyers of pets that turn out to be sick. Under the so-called puppy lemon law people would have up to 21 days after purchasing a pet to seek reimbursement for veterinary costs for a sick animal. They also would have the option to exchange the pet or get a refund.

Online voter registration

A key Senate panel advanced legislation that would allow voter registration by email. Another provision would remove the new requirement that candidates for governor and lieutenant governor run as a team in primary elections, and instead allow nominees to pick their running mates post-primary.

Emanuel retiree health care

The House sent the Senate a measure to allow Emanuel to transfer about 35,000 City Hall retirees to federal health insurance. The current subsidy expires soon. The measure does not affect city workers who retired before 1989.

 

Chicago police don't care what goes on down there, they don't even answer half the calls put out due to staffing. Use your ccw if need be, pick up brass, go home.

 

Hit the poll!

Extra: Illinois Conceal Carry Deal Struck

(Springfield) – Extra: Illinois lawmakers have struck a conceal carry deal.

A top source tells The Illinois Observer that lawmakers have an agreement that will preempt home rule only on firearms transportation and existing conceal carry laws.

The legislators, State Senators Kwame Raoul (D-Chicago) and Tim Bivins (R-Dixon), State Reps. Mike Bost (R- Murphysboro), Ed Sullivan (R-Mundelein), Brandon Phelps (D-Harrisburg), Frank Mautino (D-Spring Valley) and Dennis Reboletti (R-Elmhurst) meeting House Speaker Michael Madigan’s conference room on Thursday afternoon, have also agreed that all existing assault weapons bans will remain in place.

However, the lawmakers, who excluded the governor’s Illinois State Police representatives from the negotiations, have agreed that any new assault weapon bans must be adopted by home rule communities within 10 days of the law taking effect. In reality, the new conceal carry law will ban any further assault weapons bans.

Additionally, the bill will abolish Chicago’s gun registry.

The source says the legislation, which is now being drafted, should hit the Illinois Senate floor on Thursday night.

Anxiously awaiting to see what type of carry conceal law we end up with in this wonderful State.

The House has passed CCW 90 to 27!

Now it's Quinn's turn.

 

Looking GOOD. Per PFrank, very knowleagable in this area, he says b/c it passed the House and Senate by a wide enough margin that Quinn will not have any Veto Power. If that's the case and I bet it is then its time to

I hope you're right. I want to celebrate but this is Illinois hone of Durbin, Madigan, Emanuel, Quinn, Jackson and their messia Obama. I'll be happier when I ave my card.

 

I here you George, but it's going to happen now that it passed with flying colors in both the Senate and House yesteday.

BUT, how long until we actually have our cards, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year?
Obviously, the sooner you sign up for the IL CCW class the sooner you will get it!

Not time to crack the Champagne open yet, but soon I will have it waiting on ice.
