Illinois House Bill HB0148 is The Concealed Carry Bill for Illinois. Il. State Rep. Brandon Phelps has created HB0148 and is seeking support from Illinois Residents and Business Owners. The Family and Personal Protection Act is its name. It is currently awaiting its finishing touches from a Special Committee. The Committee will take the Decision of the Shepard/ Moore v Madigan into consideration before finalizing the Bill for a Vote. This gives us an opportunity to contact every State Official in Illinois and let them know that we DEMAND our 2nd Amendment Constitutional Rights restored. Especially Gov. Quinn, Senator Mike Madigan, Senator Cullerton and your Representatives and Senators. If you really want CCW in Illinois, get involved and speak out to your Officials by phone, e-mail or Mail. illinois carry.com or the NRA Website are great resources for contacting State Officials, the NRA Site is simply point and click! Be a part of the movement that some people say will NEVER happen, we can do this if everyone pitches in and makes our Democracy work as it should... of the people, by the people and for the people.

Illinois is NEVER going to get shall issue concealed carry as it's known in the United States by ANY means other than Federal court (and probably inevitably Supreme Court, because Emmanuel will NEVER accept any decision at a lower level that allows citizens to defend themselves).
Even those here who claim that Illinois will pass concealed carry, hedge their bets with carve outs for Chicago and Cook County... kind of like a 13th Amendment that allows slavery in Mississippi, Georgia, and Alabama.
Legislation not IMPOSED by court decision? NEVER going to happen. You just need to look at Chicago's handgun ban. Were it not for the FEDERAL courts, it would still be going strong.
Shawnee/ Chief Tecumseh/ Creed of a Soldier/ Tribute to Spc. Sam Webb So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their Religion; respect others in their view and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day you go over the great divide. Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and bow to none. When you arise in the morning, give thanks for the food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason to give thanks, the fault lies only in yourself. Abuse no one and nothing, for abuse turns the wise one to fools and robs the spirit of its wisdom. When it comes your time to die , be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes, they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.Originally Posted by Deanimator
You mean our CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC right? After all that's what this country was founded on which is "of the people, by the people and for the people" not this Oligarchy we have now.

If enough people get together Emmanuel won't matter he's just a lowly mayor that can not over ride state or federal law. If ILLinois becomes a shall issue state then people will just have to ignore him.

I too, would be surprised if this went through. Good luck.
Samuel Colt did more for equality in America than any civil rights activist.
There, fixed that for you.
Chicago RUNS Illinois. If Chicago doesn't want concealed carry, ILLINOIS won't get concealed carry via legislation.
As I said, it's court decision or NOTHING.
I'm in KY and I stand by your right to carry. I think it is a battle all Americans must fight not just Illinois citizens!
When liberals run out of other people's right to infridge upon, how many will give up theirs?
Unfortunately, having grown up and lived in Chicago for 20+ years and having lived in Kentucky in the '80s, I'd wager that the average Kentuckian has more belief in the right of Illinoisians to carry than the average Illinoisan does. They, and Chicagoans in particular have bought fully into the myth of police "protection" and the idea that there are no human "rights", merely privileges freely bought and sold by our "betters".
If you've never lived in Chicago, it's hard to understand... kind of like North Korea if people COULD leave, but WOULDN'T.
