Ricky Two Guns Posted May 21, 2013 at 02:16 PM Posted May 21, 2013 at 02:16 PM If you live in senator Oberwies's district he on the fence with the mag ban. He is open to discussion on this matter.
Matt B Posted May 21, 2013 at 02:20 PM Posted May 21, 2013 at 02:20 PM Please point out that this would prohibit the carry of standard magazines for the most popular handguns once ccw is passed.
Jeffrey Posted May 21, 2013 at 02:34 PM Posted May 21, 2013 at 02:34 PM Hes mine. Will report back after our convo...
ops144 Posted May 21, 2013 at 02:44 PM Posted May 21, 2013 at 02:44 PM called ...both Aurora and springfield
reelpro Posted May 21, 2013 at 02:48 PM Posted May 21, 2013 at 02:48 PM Finally I can help. I am in his district. I called and emailed.
Ricky Two Guns Posted May 21, 2013 at 03:11 PM Author Posted May 21, 2013 at 03:11 PM He actually called me back this morning so I heard this right from him, but agreed with some of my points.
RockerXX Posted May 21, 2013 at 03:38 PM Posted May 21, 2013 at 03:38 PM Any elected official that legislates away my Constitutional Rights is an enemy of mine... If he votes in favor of a ban, his dairy and all associated products will be on my boycott list as an anti 2nd Amendment organization...
patriot1776 Posted May 21, 2013 at 03:47 PM Posted May 21, 2013 at 03:47 PM Any elected official that legislates away my Constitutional Rights is an enemy of mine... If he votes in favor of a ban, his dairy and all associated products will be on my boycott list as an anti 2nd Amendment organization... Agreed. So many people on the fence. What do you think would happen , if Madigan came out with a last second terrible carry bill and said ok boys and girls , it is either this or constitutional carry ? Well ? Yep that is exactly what i thought .It ain't over till its over and the ink is dry.
BobPistol Posted May 21, 2013 at 06:14 PM Posted May 21, 2013 at 06:14 PM Tell him that Gun owners drink lots of milk and eat ice cream. Especially Oberweis brand. That will get his attention too
mikew Posted May 21, 2013 at 06:15 PM Posted May 21, 2013 at 06:15 PM Remind him of the 2nd Amendment plank in the platform.
Kipp Jones Posted May 21, 2013 at 06:20 PM Posted May 21, 2013 at 06:20 PM Recall any who vote for this.
blueliner Posted May 21, 2013 at 07:00 PM Posted May 21, 2013 at 07:00 PM Recall any who vote for this. Illinois does not allow recall elections. You have to wait until they are up for re-election.
RoadyRunner Posted May 21, 2013 at 08:40 PM Posted May 21, 2013 at 08:40 PM I contacted him yesterday - right after it passed out of committee. I got a response this morning. "Senator Oberweis is in the process of reviewing the newly proposed amendment to this bill. I will add your name to the list of constituents in opposition to SB1002. You can count on Senator Oberweis to stand up for your rights guaranteed in the Second Amendment."
ca22151 Posted May 21, 2013 at 09:52 PM Posted May 21, 2013 at 09:52 PM I contacted him yesterday - right after it passed out of committee. I got a response this morning. "Senator Oberweis is in the process of reviewing the newly proposed amendment to this bill. I will add your name to the list of constituents in opposition to SB1002. You can count on Senator Oberweis to stand up for your rights guaranteed in the Second Amendment." Sounds like a pile of poo to me.
fubarud Posted May 22, 2013 at 01:35 AM Posted May 22, 2013 at 01:35 AM He's my rep. I'll call tomorrow.

"Senator Oberweis is in the process of reviewing the newly proposed amendment to this bill. I will add your name to the list of constituents in opposition to SB1002. You can count on Senator Oberweis to stand up for your rights guaranteed in the Second Amendment."Like I said I talked to the man he was reasonable, sounded on the fence and wanted me to give him reasons I need more than ten rounds. I made a compelling argument his words not mine.

You have to wait until they are up for re-election.Time to change that then....Also I'd point out he has not voted on this measure, and I don't think a negative attitude will get us where we want to be. I would fill my e-mails or call with ideas not threats, just saying.
Craigcelia Posted May 22, 2013 at 03:18 AM Posted May 22, 2013 at 03:18 AM Tell him that Gun owners drink lots of milk and eat ice cream. Especially Oberweis brand. That will get his attention too x 2...
fubarud Posted May 22, 2013 at 12:40 PM Posted May 22, 2013 at 12:40 PM He's my rep. I'm calling him today.
ca22151 Posted May 22, 2013 at 01:00 PM Posted May 22, 2013 at 01:00 PM Awesome milkshakes & malts - going to miss them.
narcoden Posted May 22, 2013 at 01:04 PM Posted May 22, 2013 at 01:04 PM He may not be in my district... but his ice cream shop is. Depending on his voting, I vote with my wallet. I'll let him know.
spec4 Posted May 22, 2013 at 01:20 PM Posted May 22, 2013 at 01:20 PM My son in law knows Oberweis. When I informed him of this yesterday he said he would contact him. I'll advise of any results.
Chief Illiniwek Posted May 22, 2013 at 01:23 PM Posted May 22, 2013 at 01:23 PM Recall any who vote for this. Illinois does not allow recall elections. You have to wait until they are up for re-election. I think the governor is now subject to being recalled.
oneshot Posted May 22, 2013 at 01:25 PM Posted May 22, 2013 at 01:25 PM I remember him coming to a GSL meeting years ago when he was running for governor. Hmmm...
BobPistol Posted May 22, 2013 at 01:31 PM Posted May 22, 2013 at 01:31 PM Time to change that then.... Only if NOTA is part of the legislation. Otherwise, it will be used by the Chicago Machine to recall any republican or non-machine crony out of their office, while protecting their officeholders.
