michaelS: 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.
.. 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.
Do we really need daredevil michaelS running rampant in here? .. so typical, blaming others for the predicament rightwing republican policy enables. (edit: yes, at the root of shall issue is rightwing republican policy, enabled by gwbush - dems in illinois did not want shall issue to begin with, were forced into it).
I think it's clear he has no interest in subscribing to the group's etiquette & purpose. Take a bit harder line please. Thumbs down on michaelS. VETO.
He even has it a**backwards, it was the nra saying blood was running in the streets in australia after they enacted gunbans after port arthur gun massacre, prompting PM john howard & atty gen daryl williams to lodge complaint with heston & the nra.
