  1. Something tells me that 148 was a lost "opportunity" for the opposition. We'll see though. YES Call your State Representatives and your Senators. Not just the ones in your district, but all of the, Tell them that you agree with the 7th Circuit Courts ruling and to bring HB 148 back to the floor for a vote. The bill is not dead. It is just sitting in limbo. I spent two days emailing each and everyone of the Illinois Representatives and Senators even the Governor. Explaining to them that I am a law-abiding gun owner and I feel that I should be able to protect myself outside my home just like Judge Posner believes. Urge them to contact Lisa Madigan and tell her to stop wasting tax payers money appealing these decisions and to do her duty to uphold the constitution of if the U.S. like she said when she was sworn into office. Spread the word and let all of your friends and family members know to contact all of the state reps and senators. Now is the time to flood their offices with mail, emails, faxes and every means of contact explaining to them that they should help the citizens of Illinois practice their second amendment rights. Make sure you tell them you are against any legislation that would make it almost impossible for the average citizen to receive a conceal carry license, like exorbitant fees, extensive training, and all the red tape. I URGE EVERYONE THAT NOW OS THE TIME THE FIGHT BEGINS
  2. The gun stores are crazy busy! If you are looking to carry a specific handgun for concealed carry you better start shopping now. I went to a gun store last night, and I could barely walk around it there. I ended up picking up a Springfield Armory XD 9x19 Sub Compact. The guns are just flying off the shelves. I mean after the waiting period of course. The store associate said the sales have more than tripled in the past week! Most of the guns that were available were the only ones that were on display. Illinois residents were lined up to get their FOID card photos and paperwork processed as well. It is amazing to see all of the people who want to have the right to protect themselves. It is truly a joyous day for Citizens of Illinois. It is an early holiday present for all of us. Make sure you thank the Second Amendment Foundation, The Illinois State Rile Association & the NRA for all their hard work and dedication to get Illinois to this point. The next step we need to take is to email each and every one of our State Representatives & Senators and tell them that you agree with the 7th Circuit Courts decision in the Shepard V. Madigan case. Explain to them that time is running out for a GOOD CLEAN concealed carry bill to be put in place. A carry bill that does not discourage the average citizen from obtaining a permit. exorbitant fees, and outrageous training, and lots of red tape to cross. Explain to them that it will not benefit the State of Illinois to continue wasting the tax payers money on court fees and attorney's salaries. The City of Chicago had to write a check to the Second Amendment foundation for almost $400,000.00 on 02/01/12. Then Chicago wants to wonder why they are going broke? They need to stop violating peoples constitutional rights. We don't need a nanny state. So it is time to overwhelm your representatives and Senators with your calls, faxes, emails. Telling them they need to get to work! They will resume their "lame duck" session this January. Remember we all need to stand strong and oppose any attempt to sneak in assault weapons bans ect. A nice Christmas gift this year would be a membership to the Second amendment foundation. The ISRA, or the NRA.
