Forgive my skepticism, and my inability to accept silence as a response but it's no more acceptable than "because we said so." Those only work for an 8 year old. And please note, this bill solidifies my prediction (the red text in my signature.

Yes. I'm predicting that Chicago/Cook county will be sold out in order to get "shall issue".

This time, it's our turn
Seriously, the legalization of dueling would end political pandering and solve political corruption in the State

So since it passed the Senate already, once it passes the house it has to go back to the Senate to just sign off on the House Amendments then? Then off to Quinn?

So why do some people think that Chicago and Cook have been "Sold Out"? (As in your signature)
I cannot fathom why, other than the mass transit thing. I have spoken to several key figures in Illinois judicial history who live in Chicago. They are ecstatic about this bill.

Molly's right.
And the thing is, the issue of concealed carry is, if not actually a side issue to Madigan, at this point it is more of a vehicle allowing Madigan to display good old fashioned political muscle. I don't think Madigan has much personal committment to any version of a concealed carry bill. Instead, if Lisa is running, as everyone seems to think, theres no better way to let everyone know who has the power than to pull votes from the preferred bill (HB997), then crush a bill in the other chamber, (Kwame), then re-write a major piece of this hotly contested legislation over night, smother dissent from the original drafters, then guarantee 80+ votes, a total which must include a number of representatives who would rather slam their fingers in a drawer than vote in favor of the bill. On top of that, he is essentially guaranteeing a veto proof vote in the Senate.
The last few days have been an historic display of political power. A civics lesson viewed up close, if you will.
