If they can do it in other states in the allotted time by their legislatures, then what makes Illinois so damned special that they can't?

I'm sure if Dart and his cronies, (and I use that word pejoratively) had prepared for this like they should have, they would have a system in place ready to go, when the bill was passed into law. But, I imagine they kept hoping and praying that it would never pass, and dragging their feet in the process. So they didn't do the job that they were supposed to, which is preparing for an eventuality they did not like. Given the fact that the other 49 states passed CCW without the disasters of "rivers of blood in the streets" and "bodies stacked up like cord wood" predicted by the Gun Prohibitionists, they should have accepted the fact that Illinois, too, would have CCW, sooner or later, the only question was when. Now it has bit them square in the ass, and I feel no sympathy for bureaucrats caught with their pants down.
