Its supprised me for a few reasons...

1st, its a Pro-gun Dem... Not many of them...
2nd Its Illinois, which has been famous for being anti-gun
3rd Still supprises me to see any new Pro gun bills past or not...

Nice that the guy would bring a bill to the floor, but it will die a quick death from the Chicago Reps. There was a referendum here in Winnebago County, to see if there was enough county support for a CCW. Even this far from Chicongo, it failed to pass.

IL will never support CCW. :banghead:

I used to live up there. I've informed some friends about this proposed bill. The nearer one gets to Chicago the more likely the representatives, and even the sheeple, to be dictatorial tyrants.

It would not be difficult to extrapolate what Representative William D. Burns thinks and feels about HB245.

that would leave my home state Wisconsin as the ONLY state left where one can't get a CCW... although I wouldn't want to try to in California.
