As of Tuesday, 39,549 Illinoisans have forked over $150 each for the privilege of giving up ALL of their federal and state rights and privileges to privacy and confidentiality.
The State of Illinois has been enriched by $5,932,350, as these 39,549 have rushed to apply for the new concealed carry license.
That number of applications is from the Illinois State Rifle Association.
Of each $150, here's where the pieces go:
$120 (80%) State Police Firearms Service Fund [$4,745,880]
$ 20 (13.3%) Mental Health Reporting Fund [$789,003]
$ 10 (6.7%) State Crime Laboratory [$397,467]
I hope Director Hiram Grau of the Illinois State Police has his guns out, when the legislators start licking their lips and drooling over all that money just sitting there. Will he have the backbone to stand up to Gov. Quinn and the other gun-grabbers who will be trying to transfer that money into some other honey pot?
