The bill passes by more than a three fifths majority, then has to be sent back for another three fifths majority vote because of this? Crazy

It takes a special kind of ego to think you're above the Constitution and more wise than its authors.

 

[osterr1999]

I am confused as to why a person carrying more than one gun is any more dangerous than a person carrying one gun.

 

[nwbobber]

Me too, but this guy is in the group that thinks more than ten rounds in a magazine accomplishes anything. Logic is not his strong suit.

In the twisted minds of hoplophobes that extra gun, not properly supervised by idiot gun packers, could jump out of their pocket and run down the street to the nearest elementary school...

And more than 10 rds may make the "evil assault clip" take over your psyche with the same results

They are projecting their own instabilities

It's pretty fun watching all this happen. Go Illinois.

The governor is a bubbleguming retard.

Don't it though?!?
The scary part is, the same corrupt, non-constitutional local political system spawned our current presidential admin.

Because the ankle holster it's being carried in could cause a person to trip over their own feet, and make the second gun discharge, killing innumerable grade-school kids crossing the street 3 blocks away.

Sheesh, don't you guys understand the hazards of concealed carry? [/sarc]

The underlying philosophy is that the unruly animals have no self control or morals and can't be trusted with "things". Therefore they must be controlled for their own good. Only the governor knows what's best for them.

And all this time I thought that it takes a special kind of "stupid."

Kitzhaber is no better look at the crap that dill hole has done.

So if this passed will IL be "may issue" like California or "shall issue" like most of the US?

I believe it's shall issue

 

[unklekippy]

I'm still not sure why anyone in any state thinks they need to ask for a right that is protected by The Constitution. To defend myself, I need only to keep and bear arms. It shall not be infringed, so what is it that we need to "apply" for?

 

[LoneStar]

If so that is a big improvement for IL.
@ unklekippy
I am all for constitutional carry like AK, WY, VT & AZ but until then at least in WA you can opencarry without a permit.
In TN you need a permit to opencarry and TX & FL you can't opencarry at all.

I believe it's shall issue

Also in WA, gun laws are controlled by the state so if cities try enact a separate set of gun restrictions they are violating state law.

I believe it's shall issue

Basically shall issue with objections available. I believe this was in the final text sent to the governor.
Illinois General Assembly - Bill Status for HB0183

Allows any law enforcement agency to object to a license applicant based upon a reasonable suspicion that the applicant is a danger to himself or herself or others, or a threat to public safety. Allows the Department of State Police to object to a license applicant with 5 or more arrests for any reason or 3 or more gang-related arrests within the 7 years preceding the date of application. These objections are reviewed by a Concealed Carry Licensing Review Board composed of 7 members appointed by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate. The Concealed Carry Licensing Review Board determines by a preponderance of the evidence whether the applicant is eligible or ineligible for a license.

ETA: I hate trying to figure out what's going on with bills in other states. Hard enough to do in my state.

Quinn is getting heat from Democrats there. Hope they override his veto.

It's easy, it's called double jeopardy! Gun control with these people and logic never intersect.
