That's awesome Phil.

Unfortunately changing the law will have no effect on the conduct of IL. thugs. Speaking from experience and glad to still be here in one piece.

They are more afraid of guns than the desire for the revenue that the permits would generate. As it is the FOID cards are a joke and always have been. Iowa now has a very reasonable law for getting the permits and very VERY little trouble with the people who have them. Even California has concealed carry and they are pretty far left..

I read something that the IL statehouse was looking at almost making Chicago its own state, not quite a whole state but a separation of the laws between chicago and the rest of the state. The analysis was done because the rest of the state is unhappy that Chicago basically sets the laws for the whole state. If Chicago was its own little shithole they would have to survive on their own which apparently sells well to the remainder of the state, especially as you move further and further away from Chicago.

Ok, onto the topic at hand.. The fact that any lawmaker thought this statute would survive 10 seconds of scrutiny shows the lack of thought at the statehouse.. The rollback statute is a good idea, but when the court rules against them will be unneeded..

The existing laws that were passed ages ago to protect us have been perverted by the criminals with badges in IL. These aren't new laws on the books.

Is there any doubt these fascists are the enemy of the Constitution, the State, and the Citizens?

"Radley Balko interviewed James Pasco, executive director of the national Fraternal Order of Police (FOP), which describes itself as "the world's largest organization of sworn law enforcement officers." Pasco argues that videotaping police officers in public should be illegal because it can intimidate officers from doing their jobs. Mark Donahue, president of FOP, concurs, telling the New York Times that his organization “absolutely supports” the eavesdropping act and was relieved that the ACLU's challenge filed last year failed, adding that recording on-duty police officers “can affect how an officer does his job on the street.”


There is NO carry of firearms in IL, be it Open, Concealed, or Constitutional. There is no Constitution in IL. You get what you vote for.

Especially if you are dead. Then you get to vote twice.

If you are saying that Illinois doesn't have a concealed weapons permit system, you're either lying or ignorant.

They do indeed have a civilian permit program. All you have to do to get the permit is get elected to high office. Like, say, Chicago city alderman.

I wish I was kidding.

They claim that this special program is about giving these politicos "limited police powers" but that too is bullshit. Go pull up the IL state constitution and search on the term "separation" - sure enough they have a separation of powers clause similar to the federal version. Meaning you can't give a local legislative branch figure such as an alderman police (read: executive branch) powers.

It's a CCW system - the single most elitist, discriminatory and outright disgusting example of same in the nation.

This may come into play very soon. There's a federal law saying that any state with a carry permit system has to recognize the permits of any other state. IL claims not to have a carry permit system but as I've explained, they're lying through their teeth. The moment somebody sues over this in federal court (again, after the passage of the federal bill if it does pass) from another state wanting to carry in IL will win.
