Richard Pearson, Executive Director of the Illinois State Rifle Association sent out a message to ISRA members after yesterday's vote on HB 0148, the concealed carry bill. Some fluke in electronics prevents my re-posting the message here, but you can probably read it on www.isra.org/ Monitor progress on ISRA's website and on Facebook at "Illinois State Rifle Association".
Basically, some legislators got muscled by Mayor Daley and Gov. Quinn. That seems to be the bottom line. Some who had said they would vote for HB 0148 changed their minds at the last mind. And some who had said they wouldn't, did vote for it.
You probably heard that Daley wants three cops and two vehicles after he retires. What a self-serving jerk! I hope he reads this!
You and I can't protect ourselves outside our homes, but Boss Daley wants the taxpayers to foot his bill for protection. Does the City Council have any guts? Probably not.
The fight is not over. This bill can be recalled for a vote anytime until the second Wednesday in 2013.
For some, that will be too long. Maybe their survivors should sue Quinn and Daley.

The no vote is absolute stupidity. The only reason for this is that our officials want to keep control over as much as they can in our lives.
I would imagine the majority of Illinoian's[spl?] favor carry of some nature. Once again this proves our elected officials really don't represent "We The People."
