Unbelievable! I live close to the hell-hole of Chicago. This is as if a flying saucer landed on my front lawn.

Awesome. With every little victory, I smile.


Also, in before "WE'RE DOOMED UN GUN TREATY SKY IS FALLING".

How about NYC?

This is totally unfair to the IL thugs, criminals and gang-bangers who'll now have to wonder if their intended victims are ‘packing’.

I’m glad for your enthusiasm but I suspect the fight is only just begun. There’s nothing to prevent the lefties from writing a may issue law. This effectively maintains status quo.

Jubilation!!

I hope it only takes 6 months for the citizens of Illinois to be able to carry legally.

In Missouri the legislature passed Concealed Carry over the governor's veto in September of 2003.

Before permits were issued a St Louis judge issued a restraining order. In March of 2004 The Missouri Supreme Court threw out the restraining order and permits started to be issued with the exception of St Louis, Kansas City and perhaps one or two other anti-gun cities

St Louis and Kansas found a technicality about funding and held up issuing permits for an additional 14 months.

It was approximately 20 months AFTER the legislature passed the Concealed Carry bill until citizens in those blue cities started to obtain CC permits.

I hope you fare better than Missouri as far as the time factor.

BTW Missouri is a Shall Issue state.

California will be next, right? /s

[Secret Agent Man]

Libs will continue to sue. Chicago will sue.

They don’t stop.

They also get to “craft” the legislation and can like some other states make it virtually impossible to get a ccw license, especially in certain areas where one person can deny them.

It’s a mindset we all must adopt - you never give up, you just change the venue and fight style to where it shifts.

Jason Whitlock must be crying in his diapers.

[pabianice]

Don’t get excited. It’s a cinch that the Demoscum running IL will craft a new bill prohibiting people from concealed carry anyway.

[pabianice]

Strange... not a word on DumpsterUnderground.com... 8*)

[TheDon]

In a huge win for law abiding citizens, a federal appeals court in Chicago on Tuesday tossed the state’s ban on carrying concealed weapons and gave Illinois’ Legislature 180 days to craft a law legalizing concealed carry.

Corrected.

This really is great news, best here in IL in yeeeeeears. Like maybe since the Bulls last won the NBA Championship.

But the IL Legislature (aka Madigan's Lackeys) have 180 days, six months, to screw with us. And you can bet the rent they WILL try.

'Hopefully' enough down-state Blue Dog gun lovin' Dems (yes they exist) will tell the Chicago and Crook County Pols (Madigan's Puppets) to go take a flying ..... leap. And anything that does pass and becomes law mirrors the recent Concealed Carry Bill that (cough) 'almost passed'₍₁₎.

And in NO WAY comes close to the bullshiite that 'prisoners in Chi' have to go through just to have a legal gun in their house. It's one big Catch-22, they pretty much can't comply with the law. As in 'impossible'.

(1) IIRC; Basically if you have a valid IL FOID CARD you pretty much already qualify. Just pass a Certified Training program and you're good to go.
