Illinois vote on the CCW bill today

[LockStocksAndBarrel]

Down in flames. Sorry Jim.

 

[jkfletcher]

So when Constitutional carry kicks in then I guess we don't have to worry about reciprocity

 

[chezuki]

Fine. Let them screw around with bureaucracy and default to Constitutional Carry. Fine by me.


As for the "wild west", it was way more dangerous to be an outlaw there than it currently is in Chicago.

 

[AngryRooster]

Yep failed.

Did you notice the numbers of those viewing? It was over 1000 while the vote was going on. Now, 5 minutes later it's 630

 

[rooster]

Anyone up for an open carry lunch in danville illinios after it goes to constitutional carry?

Nope. I was one who bailed after the vote.

 

[tbhausen]

Let's keep our expectations realistic... They'll enact something more restrictive prior to the Court's deadline than what was voted down today. This is Illinois we're talking about, folks.

 

[db1959]

The one Rep was saying that without this bill, they'd have "the Wild West" in Constitutional Carry. Looks like they want to find out, and honestly, I think that's a good idea. Let them find out that it reduces crime. If it can do it in Chicago, it can do it everywhere, and the antis will have no more arguments to use against us.



Blessings,
Bill

You're assuming they will go by the facts and not make up their own facts.

Seeing the only state that still completely violates carry rights be forced into Constitutional Carry would be hilarious and quite entertaining. Why can't all the pro-2A legislators just vote no on any other proposals and wait for it to set in and have sweet vengeance?

FIFY

Thanks

Anyone note the mention of a non-resident license? (line 19)

Does that mean IL would issue a non-res license or what?

p.s. is this bill totally dead now?

 

[tbhausen]

Think about this... Suppose a more restrictive concealed carry bill comes to a vote. Is it possible that those who oppose the restrictions could force Constitutional carry by opposing it?

 

[KevinJ]

I'd kinda like to see the sec of states or a few governors declare a travel advisory for Chicago. Just to see a few leftists heads explode.

There have been several versions of the bill, the origional version included a non-resident permit to be offered. As far as I know this is still in the bill. The bill was pulled before the final vote tally so is still alive and can still be voted on again.
The idea all along has been either a "good" bill or block any Bad" bill including "may issue." June 9th is still on the way, many of us really wanted HB997 but I will be carrying on my FOID card June 9th. Jim.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

No bill.

The best action by Springfield is no action.

SWEET. "Just say no" to "may issue".

Make me want to watch "Airplane" again. Thanks.

Have you ever been in a Turkish prison?
