Call to Action Witness Slips Needed Witness Slip Instructions Witness Slips Filed Prior to 3/1/2015 Must be Filed Again In our call to action this week, we add 10 new bills to the existing ten bills from last week. Since none of the previously listed bills were heard in committee, witness slips filed for those hearings no longer apply and will need to be redone. Log on to the ILGA Dashboard or Create a New Account Oppose HB148 Lost & Stolen Firearms - OPPONENT Illinois law has required FOID Card holders, but not persons illegally in possession of firearms, to report lost or stolen firearms since the Gun Safety and Responsibility Act became law effective 8/9/2013. HB148 seeks to deny otherwise law abiding citizens their right to own firearms via FOID revocation and felony conviction. HB265 Firearm Protect Order - OPPONENT There are many forms of protection order available to the courts in Illinois, from granting occupancy of the family home to giving custody of the family pet to one spouse or another. Of the tools available to a judge a firearm protection order, as it currently exists in law, is one of the most important when determined necessary by a court of competent jurisdiction. HB265 proposes to subvert the judicial discretion so necessary to our system of governance by prohibiting the subject of an order of protection from purchasing or transporting a firearm, even when that order is simply in regard to animals, property, and a number of other orders unrelated to a physical threat against the petitioner. While enough to oppose on its own merits, HB265 also creates a frightening potential synergy when taken in context with HB399 Protection Order Issuance. Though not the subject of the current call to action HB399 proposes to empower the States Attorney, and courts on their own motion, to impose an order of protection on behalf of a petitioner even against the petitioner's wishes. This combination of ill conceived legislation, both bad in their own right, establishes an untenable system of potential rights denial under the most unusual of circumstances. HB359 Firearm Concealed Carry Signs - OPPONENT Inverts the signage requirement. Establishes a precedent of allowing private property owners to passively deny the exercise of all civil rights under color of law. HB419 Firearm Concealed Carry Prohibit Place - OPPONENT Adds places licensed under the Video Gaming Act as prohibited locations, including fraternal & veterans establishments, and truck stops, whether or not alcohol is served. Changes privilege to post a location any person lawfully in possession and control. Changes private residences to presumptively prohibited. HB1405 FOID Act Private Sales - OPPONENT Prohibits private sales of concealable firearms HB1442 Firearm Concealed Carry Bar - OPPONENT Prohibits carry at any establishment serving liquor. Establishes penalties for failure to post. HB1467 3D Firearms Prohibit - OPPONENT Prohibits use of printers for firearm manufacture HR140 Urge GA Explosive Law - OPPONENT Urges the General Assembly to adopt a law similar to Virginia Code Title 18.2, Chapter 5, Section 18.2-85 Support HB319 Concealed Carry Parking Lot - PROPONENT Removes dangerous unloading requirement from safe harbor parking lot provision HB367 Concealed Carry Public Transit - PROPONENT Removes the carry prohibition on public transportation HB433 Wildlife Use of Suppressors - PROPONENT Removes the prohibition on hunting with a suppressor HB481 Concealed Carry Rest Area - PROPONENT Permits a licensee to carry in rest areas HB482 FOID & Crim Cd Concealed Carry - PROPONENT Permits firearms transfers to a person displaying a valid FOID or FCCL HB483 Crim Cd Firearm Waiting Period - PROPONENT Eliminates the waiting period for persons licensed under the FCCA HB1411 FOID Possess Conceal Carry License - PROPONENT Elimates need to physically posses a FOID when an FCCL is physically possessed HB1427 Concealed Carry Gathering - PROPONENT Eliminates the prohibition on carry at a public gathering or special event HB1428 Concealed Carry DOT Rest Area - PROPONENT Permits a licensee to carry in rest areas HB1435 Concealed Carry Privacy - - PROPONENT Limits privacy waiver to determining license qualification HB1447 FOID & Crim Cd Firearms & Ammo - - PROPONENT Elimates need to physically posses a FOID when an FCCL is physically possessed, including stun guns HB1457 Concealed Carry Cook County Forest - PROPONENT Eliminates prohibition on carry in Cook County Forest Preserves . . .

tkroenlein Posted March 1, 2015 at 09:29 PM Posted March 1, 2015 at 09:29 PM Did anybody beat me done? Didn't think so... OK. Maybe a couple.
mauserme Posted March 1, 2015 at 09:32 PM Author Posted March 1, 2015 at 09:32 PM There were 7 or 8 before I even got the alert posted.
tkroenlein Posted March 1, 2015 at 09:37 PM Posted March 1, 2015 at 09:37 PM If you haven't created a log in yet, you seek misery and love data entry. That is an even 20 bills mauserme has linked there. I am quite certain it took me less than 2 minutes to file those.

I am quite certain it took me less than 2 minutes to file those.Lol, I'm gonna have to take a look at that. I literally type them all in manually lmfao. I can type 50 words per minute though so it's not horrible, but I'd rather not.
3ddiver Posted March 1, 2015 at 10:14 PM Posted March 1, 2015 at 10:14 PM Done again X2. Sure would be nice if they would be good the entire time but I am guessing our side is the only ones fired up enough to keep doing it every time it is needed.
gLockedandLoaded Posted March 1, 2015 at 10:18 PM Posted March 1, 2015 at 10:18 PM Do I just select "Record of Appearance Only?"
DD123 Posted March 1, 2015 at 10:20 PM Posted March 1, 2015 at 10:20 PM Do I just select "Record of Appearance Only?"Yep.
Draal Posted March 1, 2015 at 10:23 PM Posted March 1, 2015 at 10:23 PM I have 20 emails confirming my position. I am done (for now).
bmyers Posted March 1, 2015 at 10:28 PM Posted March 1, 2015 at 10:28 PM I think I got them all done and correct. If not, somebody let me know if I screwed any of them up. (I must of done something wrong, I got 21 slips...opppsss....guess I thought I was from Chicago so I voted twice maybe?)
Roger Z Posted March 1, 2015 at 10:29 PM Posted March 1, 2015 at 10:29 PM Can someone explain to me why it is necessary to clog up this very important topic with dozens of followup posts indicating you have filed the witness slips? Like the Nike shoe ad says - Just do it! PS - just to conform with tradition I filed all 20 witness slips!!
handyflyer Posted March 1, 2015 at 10:35 PM Posted March 1, 2015 at 10:35 PM Thanks for making it so easy for us Mauser. Your work is ALWAYS appreciated.

Like the Nike shoe ad says - Just do it! PS - just to conform with tradition I filed all 20 witness slips!! Affirmation is a good thing. It's a way of saying: gotcha, 10-4, roger that. Nobody is forcing you to count em all.
