And when I finally reconciled myself to the fact that IL would probably never have CCW in my lifetime!
I'm seeing much more favorable coverage in the press this time. Now that the Chiefs are on-board...
Could this be the year?

I lived in the Chicago area for 20 years. I never thought they'd overturn the gunlaws there, but I'm glad they did.
I hope you guys get a CCW shall issue law there. I might move back then someday.

Just when you think things are moving the right way you still get comments like these...
Daley warns of guns at 'your neighborhood festival' if conceal carry measure passes state
When is this guy's last day of work? Not that Rahm will be any better but does Daley seriously think there are no guns at the Taste of Chicago? His draconian laws have worked so well in curbing crime thus far.
I do, however, enjoy reading his quotes when the papers publish his ramblings verbatim. You can read them over and over and they make no sense at all.

Good luck Illinois!
Maybe I can go back and visit my friends once something gets passed but at the moment I refuse. I wouldn't mind a hot Bueno Beef or Portillos right about now!

Heard that the bill made it out of committee, and the house may vote on it as early as today. Quinn is promising to veto if it makes it to his desk.
In similar news, around Champaign I've been hearing a lot more people in favor of concealed carry after a shootout at the mall last week.

Today is the last day for votes - it's dead after this. Call your reps this morning!
