Illinois Gov Gets Gun-Bill Signing Extension
Illinois Governor Patt Quinn Gets Gun-Bill Signing Extension
Thursday, June 6, 2013
(GunNews.com) The Illinois legislature agreed last week to allow people to carry concealed guns, a measure, which if signed into law, would make the state the last in the country to allow the public possession of concealed firearms. The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday gave the state of Illinois an extra 30 days to lift its ban on concealed weapons.
The court acted on Attorney General Lisa Madigans request to allow Gov. Pat Quinn more time to review legislation passed last week. But the court said it would not issue another extension of its mandate past the new deadline of July 9.
The compromise plan by the House and Senate followed a federal appeals ruling that stated Illinois concealed carry ban is unconstitutional and that the state must change it by June 9.
Gov. Pat Quinn, a Democrat, has not said whether he will sign the legislation into law. However, the bill has enough votes in the legislature to override a gubernatorial veto. The appeals court ruling stated the ban violated the U.S. Constitutions Second Amendment right to bear arms.
