Rep. Mike Tryon joins other co-sponsors

Illinois State Representative Mike Tryon (R-Crystal Lake) has joined the co-sponsors of HB0997, this session's concealed-carry bill. Thanks, Mike!

There are now 47 co-sponsors of this Bill.

Illinois is under court order to come up with a law (i.e., a passed bill, signed by Gov. Quinn) by June 9, permitting concealed-carry in Illinois.

On February 13 it was assigned to the Judiciary Committee, which has wasted no time in scheduling hearings. Hearings were held in Springfield today and yesterday, and one is scheduled in Chicago for Friday.
