Ok, so the board sustained 100 objections, and overruled 100 objections. The article also says that the 100 sustained objections represent half the cases that the board has reviewed. This means that the unwritten fact in this article is that law enforcement has objected to every single application that the board has reviewed so far. No surprise, but there it is.
The seven-member Concealed Carry Licensing Board has sustained about 100 objections, denying permits to those people, said Monique Bond, spokeswoman for the Illinois State Police. The board has overruled about 100 other objections, allowing those applications to move forward, Bond said.
About 50,000 people have applied for permits, and about 5,000 have been approved, according to the state police. The approved permits are expected to arrive in the mail this week, officials say.
They wrote some facts in the article. 5,000 permits granted. 200 objections filed.
That's 4%, not law enforcement objecting to every single application.
