These are just bills that have been filed and that Illinois Carry is tracking in three basic categories of support/neutral/oppose.

 

You can certainly call your representatives about them, but in general, 90% of these will sit in the Rules committee and go nowhere.

 

We would only get an opportunity to file witness slips if they go to an actual committee and have a hearing.  None of these are at that point in the process yet.

I hope so, it'll be a cold day in ... when I give up my bullet proof coats and vest.  It does say knowingly, maybe I could just forget.

Wouldn’t this be considered a search, asking a child 6 years or younger if there are firearms in the house?
Same with if you “don’t” have firearms in the house, follow this form asking questions. 

Really you’re going to as a 6 month old or a 2 year old if there are firearms in r the house?

A lot of this stuff feels like a legislative temper tantrum or an exercise in throwing stuff at the wall/seeing what sticks.

 

And not just here but in other states, as well.

I can almost read this as a gangbanger is a protected class and is allowed to rob and shoot you without penalties...

I think we must oppose, 
Defensive products, really, a felony?

 

How about the bulletproof sneeze guards at some of the finer dining establishments in Cook Co??

 

And no exception for children's backpacks as they walk the Safe Route?

I agree Mike. If you listen to Mark Smith of Four Boxes Diner, who is a constitutional lawyer, he has said that Body Armor is protected under the Second Amendment.

I am personally opposed to it,  too.   The reason it's under review is because it isn't clear how close that is to our core mission - protecting/advancing the right to keep and bear.   From that perspective it could almost be in the neutral column, but that doesn't seem appropriate at all.  It's one of those bills that just doesn't fit well in a 4 category system.

I read it to take from gang members and  felons the right of self defense.

 

I understand what I think they're trying to do, but telling anyone that their life is so worthless they have no right to defend it is wrong.

 

Murder of a felon is still murder. The only time anyone loses the right to self-defense is when they're the attacker and only for the duration of the attack. Even if they've been convicted in the past, the right to their life is not one of the civil liberties that the courts take away.

Arms = weapons and armor. It's still a 2A issue. I suppose it's a question of organizational priority of weapons over armor.

so your average shop keeper or gas station attendant can't be protected trying to provide for himself or his family if he can't carry himself?

And who's to say who they will define as a gang or gang member. 

  We could be labeled a gang and gang members.

This bill is absolutely insane. This is giving providers an easy door opening in order to red flag gun owning parents or have DCFS take kids away. Notice too how they have to basically profile pregnant women and eval them too?  I know she didn’t write the bill and her Everytown people did, but Maura H is reckless for even introducing this draconian pile pile of cra*p
