    IL: 69,000 CCWs issued between Feb & July!

    Illinois concealed carry process getting easier

    Richard Pearson of the Illinois State Rifle Association says some people are getting their permits within 35 days of when they submitted their applications to police.

    State Rep. Brandon Phelps supported the bill that made Illinois the last state in the nation to allow concealed weapons. He says that between February and July nearly 69,000 permits have been issued.

    Cook County has the largest number of permit holders (17,477), but that's only 0.33 percent of all residents, which ranks 96th out of 102 counties.

    And yet nonresidents (except Hawaii residents with a Hawaii LTC) can't apply, and Illinois recognizes no other state LTCs.

    Some Illinois legislators have seen the inequity in this, but nothing concrete yet.

      If they can get a Republican as governor things will change. They have a majority in pro-2A but not a super majority to override the governor.
