Illinois lawmakers approve CCW bill

[Paladin]

The reason Quinn is waiting this long to take action is to allow home rule units to pass AWBs if they so desire: so far though, our efforts to keep these ordinances from being adopted are working.

Looks like IL lost one....

Highland Park passed a AWB.

Lets see:

1) Ban AWs completely (doesnt look like there is ANY grandfathering)
2) Spend potentially millions to defend a law that undoubtedly will be challenged
3) Lose tax income on those gun sales, ammo sales, and the $$$ for the lawsuit
4) Cant afford the same level of public safety support
5) Crime will go down?

Quite the masterminds there in Highland Park

Do it...... Nothing like a ruling from the 7th regarding an awb. They seem to have scrutiny level down

lets see a state actually define what an assualt weapon is and how it is dangerous and unusual to them but not the nfa or batf

There's also a case already in the IL state pipeline on AW-Wilson v. Cook County.
