Phone Calls and Witness Slips Needed Witness Slip Instructions Mom’s Demand Action are waging war against the Second Amendment in IL. They are recruiting members in our communities, they are meeting with our legislators, they are even bringing in their members from out of state to swell their numbers. They have scheduled a meeting with Sen. Tom Cullerton and other senators to persuade them to override Gov. Rauner’s vetoed of SB1657 Gun Dealer Licensing. They are contacting and meeting with state representatives to persuade them to concur on gun control bills passed by the Senate - the next legislator to be swayed could be yours – make sure your voice is heard louder than the Mom’s Demand Action – CALL YOUR LEGISLATORS NOW – don’t assume just because your legislators have always voted for gun rights that they will continue to vote for you in the coming weeks. They are under tremendous pressure to cave and some already have! Every single FOID card holder in Illinois, all 2,276,586 of us, must contact our State Representative and State Senator this next week. Call their district home office and urge them to vote NO on the Dealer Licensing veto override, urge them to vote NO on the Lethal Violence Order Protection concurrence vote, urge them to vote NO on any bills that ban or restrict firearm accessories. #1 Senate & House - Sustain the SB1657 Veto! Beginning Tuesday, April 3, call your State Senators and State Representatives in their district offices. Tell them that as an Illinois resident you support the Governor's veto of SB1657, the dealer licensing bill described by the Chicago Tribune as "government overreach", creating "...a regulatory environment so onerous it would put some shops out of business.". Ask their support by sustaining the veto despite the enormous pressure coming from groups both within and outside of Illinois. Remind them that they have been elected to represent Illinoisans, not anti-gun groups from California and New York. #2 Senate - Oppose SB559 While speaking with your Senator's office, voice your opposition to any bill that denies the accused their guarantee of due process, including SB559 (Lethal Order of Protection Act) which is capable of being passed by the Senate without notice. #3 HouseOppose HB772Oppose HB2354Oppose HB1465Oppose HB1467Oppose HB1469 While speaking to your State Representative, impress upon him or her the importance of due process as a corner stone of American Democracy. Tell them you oppose bills that don't respect our rights including HB2354 Lethal Order of Protection and, especially, HB772 Lethal Violence Order of Protection. While both bills can move quickly this latter bill, HB772, can be acted upon with no notice and with no time to prevent it being sent to the Governor's desk! Also express your opposition to HB1465 Assault Weapon - 21 and HB1467 Bumpstock Ban and Preemption Repeal. Ask you State Representative to reject the changes made by the Senate on these two bills. Ask them to vote against HB1469 Magazine & Body Armor Ban, should it come to a vote. Contact information for your legislators can be found here. #4 Witness Slips Are Also Needed!

InterestedBystander Posted April 2, 2018 at 11:51 PM Posted April 2, 2018 at 11:51 PM Is HB5687 CONCEALED CARRY-OBJECTIONS which is also on committee agenda intentionally not mentioned? It seems to address the objection period delays?
Scipio24 Posted April 2, 2018 at 11:55 PM Posted April 2, 2018 at 11:55 PM Wife & I filed slips. Will make the calls & emails tomorrow. Thanks, as always, for the vigilance.

It seems to address the objection period delays? Rather than putting the onus on the applicant to file a mandamus action, a default issue would have been preferable.
