The Illinois House on Tuesday, voted in favor on bans on semi -automatic assault weapons and large capacity magazines though the proposals still face several legislative battles before they can become law. The amendment also stated that owners of the above weapons and magazines would be given 300 days to get rid of them. Chicago Democratic Rep. Edward Acevedo sponsored the two amendments.

Rep. Frank Mautino, a down state Democrat, argued that this would make thousands of Illinois residents who currently own such weapons and magazines, felons, because there is no way stated on how they are supposed to get rid of them.

Mike Madigan is allowing amendments to a proposed bill affecting gun ownership and concealed carry to be laid out before a bill is even written so that cover can be provided for those politicians that may face loosing their jobs when this thing is through. Left leaning politicians will be shown to their constituents as favoring a ban and right leaning politicians will be shown to their constituents as not favoring a ban.

Governor Pat Quinn, a Chicago Democrat of the Great State of Illinois, wants Lisa Matigan, Attorney General, to take the issue of concealed carry in the state before the Supreme Court, where he feels it will be deemed unconstitutional. Lisa Matigan, who is contemplating running against the Governor when his tour is up, feels she wants the legislature to have more time to comply with the federal courts mandate.

In a perfect would our state legislators would do NOTHING and allow constitutional carry to take effect in June.

Or, they could simply download from the internet the legislation from our neighbors in Missouri, white out MO and type in IL. Simple and cost effective ~ so it won't fly.
 
I finally had a epiphany the other day.

The reason that Chicago doesn't want law-abiding citizens to have weapons is that it would make it a lot harder on Vinnie and his bent-nose thugs to shake down people for protection money...if they could themselves from Vinnie

They will horse this around until the cows come home with regards to the CCW. It will go the last hour and then when it looks like Constitutional Carry will go through, the Dems will say that they will let it go through with major restrictions.
 
All quiet down in Springfield but 'Apple Picking" is beginning to rear it's head in the affluent areas of Chi-town. Apple picking is a term used to describe what happens when two guys steal your I-Phone. One puts a head lock on you and the other takes your phone. Chicago police issued a bulletin today to be very careful when using your phone on the street in the affluent areas of the city where this practice hasn't been experienced before, especially early in the morning or late in the evening.

Tick tock.........the clock is ticking. Concealed carry is our right. The Moonbats will be defeated. June 9th is the deadline......bwahahahah
 
Today, a copy of Democratic Sen. Kwame Raoul's Concealed Carry proposal stated that an applicant would have to be free from a criminal record, pass a background check but provide a "proper reason" for wanting to carry a gun and be of "good moral character".This came at the same time Attorney General Lisa Madigan asked the U.S. Supreme court for more time to decide on whether to challenge the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals decree that the state's concealed carry ban was unconstitutional.

It's like shoveling water uphill in Illinois to get a concealed carry law put on the books. Chicago runs the Capital down in Springfield and believes Illinoisians are intellectually incompetent to legally carry fire arms. June 9th stands as the deadline for a law to be enacted.

This week the Supreme Court granted Madigan's request for an additional 30 days to file an appeal.
==============================================

U.S. Supreme Court gives Illinois more time for concealed carry appeal

From sj-r.com:

CHICAGO -- The U.S. Supreme Court is giving Illinois' attorney general more time to decide whether to appeal a ruling that the state's ban on the public possession of firearms is unconstitutional.

Attorney General Lisa Madigan now has until June 24 to ask the high court to hear the case.

That is too bad, you folks have have delayed any legislation until deadline passes, then you get constitutional carry, which is far better than anything from any legislation dominated by the Chicago thugs!
