Valinda Rowe, spokesperson for Illinois Carry released this news:

IL House of Representatives Expected to Vote Soon on
Right to Carry Bill HB148!
Illinois state representatives return to Springfield Tuesday, April 26 and many believe a vote on Right to Carry bill HB148 is imminent. It is urgent that you call your state representative and firmly but politely ask them to support your right to protect yourself and your family. Urge them to vote YES on HB148.

Every single vote will be critical for passage of the bill and it is common knowledge that legislators in the northeast portion of the state tend to oppose this legislation. If you live in the northeast part of the state, this call to action is especially important. If you have family or friends living in that area, please call them and urge them to contact their legislator.

Called my rep Michael McAuliffe, when I spoke to him in the past he was for HB148 and talking to his office today they say he is still for this bill.
 
So lets say this does pass on Friday, since we all have our fingers crossed and it's just an all around good week (so far).

How long would it be until it is up and running? I'm only guessing it would take a year or so to get everything in place to start taking applicants?

Where would the permit be honored? Also how is that determined? Do the Governors just sit around and say "Hey I'll buy the next round for anyone that honors our CCW!"

Just a few thoughts
 
Just got off the phone with representative Mike Tryon's office. He is a co-sponsor of the bill and will be voting for it. More calls from other constituents will help to underscore our support for their support.
 
Placed on Calendar - Consideration Postponed

What does that mean? They are going to extend it further for debate or something? Or is that going to Quinn to settle it?
 
It means that the bill is still alive and that the sponsors can still go about the task of lining up the six votes needed to make it veto proof. When there are at least 71 votes cast in favor of the bill, it can not be vetoed.
 
My Rep Tom Cross voted for. Have gone through my email address's asking everyone to find out who their Rep is to see if they need to change their mind.
 
Hb 148

The lastest info as of 01 July is that Phelps has more than he needs to pass this. Should the goof gov decide to veto (as he has said he will and is why he is being sued along with the AG) they have enough to pass it anyway.


Slightly OT:

It appears that WI is going to go "Shall issue,resident only and recognize those NR Permits that have training,BG checks(prints) and actual live fire range time. This will rule out the PA license. Thus far the AZ permit looks like the way to go.


ARMED(and always will be) IN CHICAGO:yu::girl_wink::pleasantry:

Does anyone recall what the deadline is for reintroduction of HB148 for vote?
Illinois General Assembly - Bill Status for HB0148
Shows that it was sent back to the Rules Committee in March.
Do you think they are possibly waiting until the lame duck session after the elections?

Hey Budman what happened to the vote? Have a little trouble with King Madigan? When are you guys going to get it thru your heads that concealed carry will NEVER become a reality in that state until you let the neanderthals north of I-80 opt out? Madigan runs things in illinois, and the white house is behind him 1000%. And the nra just keeps ignoring all the downstaters just as the chicago machine does. As for any help with your court cases, not a chance. One case has already been refused by a reagan appointed judge. The same case that you all thought was a sure winner. Madigan is going to stall this out long enough to let the prez get another scotus justice appointed, and that's the end of the right to carry struggle in illinois. Period. End of story!
 
There are provisions in ILCS 720 5/24(Illinois ******** Gun Law) that provided for a form of carry. Read it. As for Madigan, I am researching his personal,(HOME) information and will post here. THERE NEEDS TO BE OUTCRY PROTESTS ECT. Illinois (due to no CCW) has one of the highest crime rates in the country and coincidentally,those crimes are ARMED CRIMES. We are helpless sheep in this state. ANY OTHER STATE IN THE UNION Allows some form of CCW and by Majority Rule,Illinois has no choice. Quinn passes a "sort of" gun law here in 2008(?) which allows a gun owner to carry on anothers property with that persons consent. READ ILLINOIS LAWS....After you are done laughing(or crying) you will note they ARENT to protect the public,they are to MAKE MONEY FOR THE STATE. THe time for REVOLT is very near.

Let's hope it happens early in the session so Quinn doesn't let it sit on his desk until the end of the 60day max and then vetoes it...after the legislature veto session has ended.
 
Well the Democrats, and by Democrats I mean Chicago Machine just got veto-proof majorities in the Senate and Legislature, Madigan is still "el Jefe" and that inept idiot Quinn still occupies the Governor's mansion so lemme think...nope, not a chance in hell of HB 148 going anywhere until at least 2015. I was planning on moving anyway, this just gives me more of an incentive (as if no jobs, high taxes, crap roads, and Chicago running this entire state weren't enough).
