Thanks to a Letter to the Editor in the Northwest Herald this morning, I became aware of legislation in Illinois (once again) to allow the carrying of concealed weapons. Illinois and Wisconsin are the ONLY two states to prohibit law-abiding citizens from some form of Right-to-Carry.
I invite you to read a summary of the bills in the House and the Senate.
Go to www.illinois.gov
On the left side, click on Government
On the right side, click on Legislature
In the center, click on Bill and Resolution Search
In the field for Search by Bill Number, enter HB4544; click on Go.
Read a summary of the Family & Personal Protection Act.
Call Rep. Jack Franks (815-334-0063) and tell you that you are in favor of this bill, that you want him to support it, that you want him to sign on as a co-sponsor; and ask him exactly where he stands on an individual's right to defend himself.
No need to call Rep. Mike Tryon. He supports it.
The Senate version is SB0348 (SB-zero-348).
Your voice counts.
For you law enforcement types who are reading this, check with your State law enforcement agency and find out where it stands. The chiefs up this way hate the idea of a trained, qualified, law-abiding citizenry carrying guns. The rest of the state? You'll be surprised.

Why do the papers have a "one letter per thirty days policy" ? Ask Gus.
A CCW law would have allowed the female jogger to put Gus out of our misery!
Gus with a gun. I challenge all of you to come up with something scarier.
