Governor uses amendatory veto, sends measure back to legislature, which cleared the Senate and House by wide margins.
1. Quinn wants to ban guns from any business where alcohol is served. Currently, the legislation bars guns only from restaurants whose liquor sales amount to less than half of gross sales.
2. Quinn wants local communitities to be able to create their own laws limiting assault weapons.
3. A person wouldn't be able to carry a concealed gun into a business, church, or other private private property unless the owner displays a sign giving them express permission.
4. Employers would be able to enact policies prohibiting workers from carrying concealed weapons on the job or on job-related duties.
5. Licensed gun owners would only be allowed to carry a single concelaed gun and one ammunition clip holding up to 10 rounds.
6. More clarification would be required to assure that Illinois State Police get mental health records to determine whether a permit applicant could be a threat to themselves or others.
7. The definition of "concealed firearm" would be clarified to remove language that allows people to carry "mostly concealed" weapons. Quinn wants guns completely concealed.
8. A Concealed Carry Licensing Review Board would have to follow state open records laws and notify the public about its meetings.
9. People who have a concealed firearm would immediately have to tell police and public safety officials they're carrying a gun.
This has a lengthy AP story attached to it. I am simply not that good at computers but I did promise a thread when Quinn made up his mind.
Quinn demands gun limits in concealed carry law.
Here's a limit: A person is not permitted to conceal am M1 tank or an A-10 in their spandex while on public property. Not only do they leave unsightly bulges, but spandex is so 90's.
Quinn's bodyguards should be so limited as well
link didn't work NIMBY
My understanding is that Illinois currently doesn't issue a concealed carry permit at all so this would be a huge improvement even with the proposed changes.
Some of these changes are going to be a little difficult to deal with. The "opt in" instead of "opt out" for businesses is going to be a huge pain as will the 10 round limit. The good news is that if this goes through in the revised format it will still be more open than NY in many respects.
Try the link in post 7 now. I told some I suck at this.
thanks
that guy looks like an arrogant toad-his rant about guns and booze is moronic. the issue is those who have guns not drinking rather than being in a diner that has a liquor license
home rule is moronic-you see a city banning certain guns only penalizes law abiding people who live there
number of guns concealed-BFD he's FOS there cops carry backups
this clown needs to be impeached if not jailed (I assume he is probably a criminal-its common in that state)
How about Quinn takes a long walk off a short bridge.Governor uses amendatory veto, sends measure back to legislature, which cleared the Senate and House by wide margins.

Why do anti gun politicians always surround themselves with women and children when announcing they want to trample on your rights? I would be willing to bet everyone of those pictures where someone shot in a gangland shooting, every one.
I would love to any information you have on that.More and more articles are appearing from elderly Black folks living in high-crime areas in Chicago who want concealed carry. Their reasoning is unique and has caused me to rethink.
Gov. Scott Walker (R) surrounded himself with women and children when he signed a right to carry bill into law....Why do anti gun politicians always surround themselves with women and children when announcing they want to trample on your rights?

I agree. I wonder why they refuse to address the causes of gun crime rather than limit the tool.
Like Jerry asked, do you have more information on that?
Unfortunately, the US is a rape culturethat's great-he wasn't trying to rape anyone's rights unlike that fat assclown Quinn
I think it's time to stop coddling these asshole politicians with legal protections. We need to start passing laws stating that every time a person is victimized because they couldn't arm themselves against criminals the offending politician gets a seperate accomplice charge, victims desire to arm with a gun irrelevant. For locals every time something happens in their metro area it's a charge, a state politician gets an accomplice charge anywhere in those borders, and a federal politician is responsible for anything that happens nationwide.Quinn's bodyguards should be so limited as well
I need to start writing down these articles' web addresses before they're lost. I can tell you this, the Chicago Tribune is the best in my mind at going after both sides in any argument. I'm very torn on this whole gun business.
