Illinois CC Ban Repeal Debated

[PappaGun]

Illinois has a bill before the legislature to repeal the ban on CC.

It has already passed out of committee.

Good luck to them.

The claws of the anti's are coming out.

I don't know if there is a realistic chance it will pass or if this is all for show.

But it was the first I'd heard of it.

Here's an interesting article about how polling can be manipulated:

I read in passing a few days ago that Illinois Governor Pat Quinn might sign the bill as part of a political trade-off for other goals that he wants. This is highly speculative.

The best source for information about these developments is the Illinois State Rifle Association: http://www.isra.org/legislation/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Having spent much of my life in Illinois, I think a state-wide referendum on concealed carry would pass. Even the constituencies that used to be anti-RKBA are saying, "Enough already."
