Please help our cause!
A downstate Democrat has posted an online petition for people to sign in support of making concealed carry legal in Illinois.
State Sen. John Sullivan of Rushville is chairman of the Senate Democratice Downstate Caucus and a co-sponsor with Benton state Sen. Gary Forby on Senate Bill 82, the Family and Personal Protection Act, which would make it legal for people, ages 21 and up with clean records, to have concealed carry permits.
Illinois is one of only two states in the U.S. that does not have some form of concealed carry for firearms. Thousands of Illinois gun owners lobbied in Springfield Thursday for passage of concealed carry.
"Over 290 million people in 48 other states can responsibly exercise their right to carry concealed weapons," Forby said. "It's outrageous that five million people that don't trust their law-abiding neighbors enough are blocking this right from seven and a half million other citizens."
Past attempts at legalizing concealed carry have stalled in the Illinois General Assembly.

Link still does not work. It must be all the Wisconsin Dems hiding out in Illinois who are hogging the site. Or that **** Pat Quinn has someone messing with it.

I took the Utah permit class a couple weeks ago from a guy who lives in Richmond, IL. He said he shops in WI all the time and walks around Wal-Mart with a pistol on his hip. That would certainly feel strange???

I wouldn't go anywhere near a Wal-Mart with people carrying guns.
You ever see some of the freaks we got up here?
Most of the Wal-Marts look like a rest stop for traveling circus freak shows.

I still have problems with this link and will seek another source/way of responding.
Don't forget that Madigan wants to expose all FOID owners by making their records public. Apparently, these idiots feel it will protect people. I don't want people knowing how many guns I have.

The order was handed down Friday in Peoria. It is the latest chapter in a battle between the state's attorney general and police force over the release of names of the state's Firearm Owners Identification cardholders.
Last week, responding to a Freedom of Information request from The Associated Press, Attorney General Lisa Madigan ruled the names are public information and should be disclosed by the state police.
The state police refused to do so and Friday four Peoria-area members of the Illinois State Rifle Association and the association asked Judge Scott Shore to issue the order.
