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.
