Talk up concealed carry Wed. night 6/29

Look! It's close by!

Rep. Keith Farnham (D-43rd District) will hold a town hall meeting in Carpentersville tomorrow night, (June 29) and invites the public to show up and tell him what they want from him in the next session.

We gunowners can tell him what we want, whether we live in the 43rd District or not. Farnham is one of the "No" votes on May 5, when HB 0148 (concealed carry) came up for a vote. Fifty-two State Representatives either voted against the bill or did not vote; one Rep voted Present. Only six (6) of those needed to vote "Yes" for the bill to pass. [Sixty-five Representatives voted for passage. (Seventy-one (71) votes were needed to prevent home-rule city watering down of the bill and to get it past Gov. Quinn's anticipated veto.)]

Wisconsin's concealed-carry bill has either been passed or is awaiting Gov. Walker's signature. This makes Illinois the only State that renders its law-abiding citizens defenseless outside their homes. Can 49 States be wrong and Illinois be the only state that is right. I don't think so!

Show up tomorrow night and tell Rep. Farnham that you want a concealed carry law to pass in the next session. Ask him what it will take for him to vote "Yes" this time. Will a call from Jack Franks help?

When? Wed., June 29, 7:00PM

Where? Carpentersville Village Hall, 1200 L.W.  Besinger Drive (that's just west of IL 25)
