https://illinoiscarry.com/forum/index.php?/discover/IllinoisCarry.com - All ActivityenUnderstood, Thank you! Appreciate the info.Sun, 12 Apr 2026 01:32:28 +0000No. Suspect it will only come up if there's "an incident", or if they want to pile on charges. (Yes, I do need to get an additional gun locker.)Sun, 12 Apr 2026 01:16:39 +0000Late to the thread. Do I carry in church? Yes. Why ever not. I tend to carry a somewhat smaller gun than I normally do (.38 snub). Smallish congregation , maybe 50-60 on a typical Sunday. The elders know I have my CCW, prob. don't know I always carry. Do not know if anyone else does.Sun, 12 Apr 2026 01:12:20 +0000Sat, 11 Apr 2026 17:49:30 +0000Now do Justice Sotomayor !Sat, 11 Apr 2026 15:22:04 +0000I hate to see him go. He has fought for our 2A rights. A great warrior. Enjoy your retirement judge. Thank you for serving.Sat, 11 Apr 2026 14:21:30 +0000On April 8 in appellate court, the court recaptioned the case FPC v Blanche.Sat, 11 Apr 2026 03:29:53 +0000On April 10, Westforth filed its reply.Sat, 11 Apr 2026 03:06:13 +0000Some areas of the forum are reserved to full members. Once you move out of the New Member group you'll be able to access them.Sat, 11 Apr 2026 01:10:15 +0000Hello! My apologies I’m not too well versed on this site. However, I just wanted to see if there was a place to buy/sell on here and whether it required any type of post/like minimum to access? Thank you!Fri, 10 Apr 2026 23:26:19 +0000Fri, 10 Apr 2026 03:42:31 +0000Become ungovernable.Thu, 09 Apr 2026 21:13:26 +0000As the House continues on with final action on third reading bills, I'll be away 'till later. The two resolutions listed above won't be voted on today, and the other two are on second reading (one with an amendment still in committee). In other words, I don't expect anything to happen at this point in the day.Thu, 09 Apr 2026 20:59:09 +0000Good thing the state’s finances are balanced, audited, transparent. and in such good shape already! 😬Thu, 09 Apr 2026 18:12:46 +0000Thu, 09 Apr 2026 17:05:31 +0000The House is coming to order. 105 members are present.Thu, 09 Apr 2026 17:00:50 +0000My wifes card is doing this as are several of our students. Yes, it can be easily fixed but it shouldn't have to be.Thu, 09 Apr 2026 16:39:58 +0000I wonder if the state will be able to successfully claim qualified immunity if someone is attacked in a poorly secured sensitive place. Maybe liability is the way to go here.Thu, 09 Apr 2026 13:55:14 +0000I'm thinking along your lines. Selling guns ain't even that cool anymore. Almost every semi-auto firearm is neutered in some way. 2AThu, 09 Apr 2026 03:07:26 +0000As noted, it is obvious those who actively vote against their own 2A interests do not prioritize the 2A in any meaningful way. I do not believe voters who do this to themselves will generally revisit their voting priorities due to logical debate or kindness. For now, I am with you in that I still have some 2A hope for the courts. I know posting online does nothing to move the needle and therefore provide significant-to-me resources to support the legal fight. We've seen painfully slow restoration of 2A rights with the courts and I still have a few remaining drops of patience. When that runs out, my other recourse to consider is "the mailbox" as in moving my mailbox to another state where people generally vote pro-2A. If I do so and take a chunk of tax dollars with me that the politicians here (and many voters) want to take and-- if enough others move the same way-- the IL D politicians will eventually have to pay attention. Starve them of money and you eventually starve them of power. It might not happen in my lifetime, and I might just be paving the path to a solution for later generations but at least I will enjoy meaningfully more 2A freedom until my time passes living in another state. It also means I can then spend more time on forums talking about cool 2A related items and spend more money on my own interests vs. lawyers to fight nonsense feelgood local 2A infringements coming from the D party.Thu, 09 Apr 2026 02:41:09 +0000I'm very sure they have.Thu, 09 Apr 2026 00:48:06 +0000I wonder if he has considered the possibility that they may block sales to the state.Thu, 09 Apr 2026 00:40:12 +0000Thu, 09 Apr 2026 00:26:40 +0000House Calendar 12:00 Noon HB1790 Inc Tx - Firearm Safety Oppose House Sponsor: Hirschauer, Grasse, Briel, Blair-Sherlock, Faver Dias, Mason, Manley Status: Second Reading Synopsis As Introduced Amends the Illinois Income Tax Act.

HR409 Gun Violence Awareness Day Neutral House Sponsor: Harper Status: Order of Resolutions Synopsis As Introduced Declares June 6, 2025 as Gun Violence Awareness Day and encourages all citizens to support their communities' efforts to prevent the tragic effects of gun violence and to honor and value human lives. HR551 Gun Violence - Prevent Neutral House Sponsor: Ford Status: Order of Resolutions Synopsis As Introduced Urges the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) to identify and publish a list of evidence-based, decision-making, and impulse-control curricula that have been demonstrated to reduce violence involvement, make at least one free or low-cost curriculum available statewide for optional integration into existing Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) instruction, encourage districts to implement these programs using existing resources and staff development, and develop, pilot, and rigorously test new school-based decision-making and violence-prevention curricula that can be easily adopted by ISBE and schools statewide if proven effective in reducing violence. Urges the Administrative Office of the Illinois Courts (AOIC), the Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ), and county probation and diversion programs to identify and approve evidence-based, decision-making curricula appropriate for minors under supervision, diversion, or detention, to encourage their integration as standard early interventions, and to implement these initiatives within existing budgets and structures. Urges the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) and the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority (ICJIA) to coordinate with ISBE, AOIC, DJJ, and local partners to align violence-prevention curricula and community-based interventions across settings. Recognizes Professor Jens Ludwig for his groundbreaking research, leadership, and publication of Unforgiving Places. Acknowledges the contributions of other scholars and organizations advancing behavioral approaches to violence prevention.Thu, 09 Apr 2026 00:23:38 +0000House floor debate ran well into the alloted times for committees yesterday. As a result I was unable to monitor most of the Gun Violence Prevention Committee hearing. I am including HR409 Gun Violence Awareness Day and HR551 Gun Violence - Prevent in today's daily calendar below, under the assumption that they were approved for consideration. HR409 suggests we declare 6/6/2025 as Gun Violence Awareness Day - obviously not one of their highest priorities. The House is scheduled for 12:00 Noon today. The Senate is not in. Next Days Scheduled House: 4/14/2026 Senate: 4/14/2026 House CalendarThu, 09 Apr 2026 00:23:02 +0000
