From Dave Syverson....
Senate Dems killed the House passed concealed carry bill SB2193 today. Instead passed the Chicago version that has Home Rule exemptions. Having over 100 different locals laws regarding types of guns allowed, types of ammunition allowed, what size clips allowed, would be a nightmare and make criminals out of law abiding citizens who just want to protect their families. At this point we are better off in the courts than pass the Chicago version of concealed carry.
We are the only state without concealed carry and Chicago, with some of the strictest gun laws in the nation, is the epicenter of gun crime. That should tell us something. Those wishing us harm don't want to face down someone who may actually be as well armed as they. It is time for a level playing field. Ken
