Brake Pad Posted June 1, 2013 Share #1 Posted June 1, 2013 Breaking news from Illinois. Both the Illinois House and Senate passed the proposed concealed carry bill which will bring a concealed carry permit program to the last state that didn’t have one. What is most inspiring is that the bill was passed with a veto proof bi-partisan vote. This means that even if the governor vetos the bill, the legislature has the votes to override it. According to GunsSaveLife.com (different website from this one, but just as awesome), The Illinois Senate passed HB183 earlier today by a margin of 45-12-1 (36 required to over-ride a governor’s veto) and the House approved it moments ago by a vote of 89-28 (71 votes required to over-ride a governor’s veto).

Yes but will Illinois be a "SHALL ISSUE" meaning they will issue to anyone qualified or a "MAY ISSUE" meaning at the discretion of (or don't hold your breath unless you are well connected or an ex cop) like NJ. As far as what states will they Honor? I suspect NONE but their own like NY & NJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checking, or keeping up with the ruling, its best followed by the NRA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted June 2, 2013 Share #10 Posted June 2, 2013 From what I have read, it will be "Shall Issue". I would be very surprised if they reciprocate though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
