Illinois Pinglist:
Governor Quinn’s Amendatory Veto makes the following changes to HB 183:
•Limits individuals to carrying a single handgun with a single magazine and no more than ten rounds of ammunition.
•Changes the definition of “concealed” to specify a handgun must be completely concealed as opposed to concealed or mostly concealed.
•Bans carry in any place that serves alcohol – except private clubs and residences – and therefore nullifying the “restaurant carry” provisions in the bill.
•Inverts the “no carry” posting, meaning that carry will only be permissible in places that post it is OK to carry a concealed firearm.
•Allows employers to ban firearms on their property and negate the safe harbor provisions.
•Removes the ability of individuals to get out of their vehicle and store their handguns safely in the trunk of their vehicle.
Thanks for the ping!
I’m not a fan of “Amendatory Vetoes”.
Line item veto yes, but not this violation of separation of powers.
