      You're not considering Chicago style politics. If a bill passes, the case is moot. Madigan (the daughter) is gearing up for a run at the Governors Mansion.

      SAF files Suit in Illinois over Right to Carry

      You are correct that a 3/5th majority is needed on a bill the preempts home rule. Madigan...the father, has consistently ruled that a carry bill, any carry bill, even a carry bill that does not preempt home rule, needs a 3/5th majority to pass (which coincidentally is what is needed anyway to...

      SAF files Suit in Illinois over Right to Carry

      We're gonna have to agree to disagree here. We had two good (statewide shall issue, with preemption) carry bills filed that the Speaker (Madigan - the father) would not let out of committee. We have also been assured that a post Sheppard/Moore bill is ready to go. Dollars to donuts says may...

      Thank you Al & Krucam for the postings. Both Briefs are brilliant and do a very good job of tearing apart the arguments of both the State and Amici. Although, I thought orals were on the 8th?

      The Director of the ISP is appointed by the Governor and will either 'toe the line' or be out looking for a new job. We have just about every police organization in Illinois supporting HB148 (our concealed carry bill), except the Chicago brass and the ISP. The stuff from these ads is...

      SAF files Suit in Illinois over Right to Carry

      It seems the State of Illinois offered a slight misrepresentation of the full effect of the UUW/Ag UUW statutes in their response to SAF's Motion for a PI.
