FYI, for all FR in Illinois.
I have a thought that could drive the carry issue to all states that will not allow it. Simple this: everyone that wants to carry could just wear a gun belt with an empty holster. Of course, leave your gun at home. Go to the mall, pick up your kids from school, visit your favorite restaurant, etc. Show the public in plain sight that this is a constitutional right that was taken away by the politicians.
Maybe even a tee-shirt with some of the gun-grabbers' name on it. In Illinois you don't need anything to carry a empty holster, not even a screwy FOID card.
Governor Quinnochio said he would veto it if it gets to his desk. We have to make the Downstate Democrats vote on this. Madigan and Cullerton are going to be pushing for the Illinois Dream Act to give illegal aliens more benefits, stop any local cooperation for counties who choose not to (Cook, Lake, St. Clair, etc.), and more college tuition and basically say they are Illinois citizens in good standing.
And to think that Madigan wanted to publish FOID card holders names and addresses.
