Will this carry proposal pass in Illinois and is it enough to satisfy the court?

I don't know the make up of all the Republicans and Democrats in the Illinois House and Senate.


This proposal allows carry but carves out exceptions for Chicago stating you have to be of good moral character. So basically in Chicago you won't be able to get a carry permit unless you have the right connections.


If this passes, would it be enough to satisfy the 7th Circuit?

Illinois Senate panel: Extra gun permit OK for Chicago

An Illinois Senate panel approved a measure Thursday allowing the carrying of concealed weapons, but the committee's move followed sharp questioning from Republicans concerning whether packing a gun in Chicago should require special permission and how authorities would determine who is fit to carry.

But the NRA has rebutted Raoul's contention that the legislation creates a "shall issue" permit system, requiring police to OK public gun possession for anyone who obtains the proper training and passes a background check. That's because it contains language requiring police to find that an applicant is "of good moral character" and has a "proper reason" for carrying a gun.

I would think that living in Chicago is more than enough of a "proper reason".

Looks like Sen. Kwame Raoul has said they reached a compromise. And it looks like it allows Cook County and Chicago to keep their ordinances so no pre-emption.




Dang, that's not good.
