Illinois Legislature Finally Acknowledges Constitution

[Crackerjaxon]

Legislators in Illinois finally stopped interfering with the 2nd Amendment rights of Illinois citizens and passed a concealed carry law. It will be interesting to see how this development affects the gun violence in Chicago.

Illinois enacts nation's final concealed-gun law

 

[Mr. H.]

It will be months, or even into next year, before anyone will be able to even start the application process for a permit. $150 per. 16 hrs. of training? No state requires that, nor do they charge as much.

I know. It's a start, though. Every step we take toward liberty is good. Hell, I agree with those who believe you should have to check your guns in places that serve alcohol.

 

[Mr. H.]

Yup.

So typical of Quinn to throw in some last minute curve balls. He's such a tool.

And I suspect we haven't heard the last from Lisa Madigan or Sheila Simon.

 

[R.C. Christian]

I'd rather be dead than live in Illinois. What a sleazy, corrupt state that is.

CT comes close on the fees.


Permit to carry pistols or revolvers $140, 5 years, $70 renewal fee


$140 fee includes $70 for temporary local permit and $70 for 5-year state permit. Applicant must also pay for fingerprints, photos, and background check.



I had to take a 5 hour course, so 15 hours is excessive

STATE COMPARISON OF GUN PERMIT FEES

Good God. Is the governor of CT related to Josef Stalin?

Have you ever considered leaving the NE?

 

[Surfer]

The problem is it is mostly black and hispanic thugs committing all the crime. CC will be great but I doubt it will impact those particular groups who are hellbent on killing each other.

Good God. Who is the governor of CT related Josef Stalin?

Gov Malloy the same guy who took away our magazines that hold more than 10 bullets and assualt style weapons.

Yes We have, we'd head south,probably to South Carolina or North Carolina cause I have relatives there. I also have family in FL,TN, to the south and west CO,HI and AZ but most of them are in the Carolina's and FL. Only thing keeping me here is my parents need me, my youngest is still in school and hubby has a good job. I honestly think my kids would make the move with us.

 

[R.C. Christian]

NC and SC are fine southern states. FL blows.

Hey, I've lived most of my life here...









and I couldn't agree more.

I wouldn't move to FL, too humid and Buggy. I've always loved SC so that would be my first pick of the two.

 

[R.C. Christian]

Nice beaches.

 

[Crackerjaxon]

A course for people who have never owned or handled a firearm before isn't that bad an idea. I'd leave it in private hands, though. Ex-military people should be exempt.

 

[Mr. H.]

Nice beaches.

Chicago's lakefront beaches are awash in fecal effluent.

If I were you I'd go to Missouri. You'll find that state is a lot better than the one you live in. Stay out of St. Lousy though. Of course when WWIII comes the show me state will definitely take the brunt of nuclear fallout so you have to consider that.

Good to see.

It’s also good to see conservatives acknowledge the fact that the states lack the right to ignore the rulings of Federal courts, and are indeed subject to the Federal Constitution.

They should exhibit the same enthusiasm when un-Constitutional laws violating privacy rights are struck down.

And let’s hope an Illinois resident files suit in Federal court challenging these requirements, they’re clearly enacted in bad faith by the state, and manifest an undue burden to the exercising of a Constitutional right.

Your own bath tub or pool are the only safe places to swim. Most beaches are full of crap. Public pools are full of dangerous bacteria.

 

[RoadVirus]

Yup.

So typical of Quinn to throw in some last minute curve balls. He's such a tool.

And yet, his curve balls fell flat. He was fighting a losing battle against his own party in the legislature and the NRA.
