If they don't pass something, Illinois is then a "Constitutional Carry" state. It will pass. Of course, criminals carry guns in Illinois today.Fred_G said:Excellent, and from a Democrat at that. Hope it passes.
Yeah but will they have enough votes to overrule the home rule issue and force Chicago to act like the rest of the nation?RandyWakeman said:
Would you please explain this a little more? I'm not sure what you mean by "Constitutional Carry" state. I mean, I understand the 2nd amendment, but I don't understand how it applies differently to Ill if they don't pass some law. Doesn't it apply to all of us no matter what?RandyWakeman said:There is no home rule issue for the ban has been found unconstitutional.
CC will pass, for if it doesn't, Illinois becomes a "Constitutional Carry" state-- and no permit would be required. That clock is ticking.
Complete nonsense. If it is not illegal, it is legal. There is no legal precedent for the "Mother, May I?" rubbish. There is no law that says it is illegal for you to chew gun, eat a french fry, and use a Frisbee at the same time-- therefore it is legal.Charlie_B said:Put simply nothing will change. Illinois not having a law on the books that prohibits the carrying of concealed firearms at the end of the six month deadline doesn't mean that they're legally obligated to automatically allow for the carrying of concealed firearms. It'll be a legal limbo where the act isn't specifically prohibited by set law, but at the same time there won't be anything to recognize the act as a legal practice.
See: Vermont, Alaska, Arizona, etc.Rastoff said:However, all the states that claim Constitutional Carry have passed some sort of legislation specifically backing it up.
