Gov. Pat Quinn said Wednesday that he wants the Illinois attorney general to appeal a federal court ruling that the state's last-in-the-nation concealed carry ban is unconstitutional, a move that would take it before the U.S. Supreme Court.

But Attorney General Lisa Madigan said she prefers to wait and see whether lawmakers craft a new law this spring that would allow the concealed carry of weapons, as the federal appeals court ordered them to do.

Delay makes the possibility of Constitutional, or permitless carry, all the more likely. The court has already ordered them to come up with a law. If they do not do so by 10 June, it will no longer be illegal to carry a loaded firearm in public in Illinois.

Those who want a liberal shall issue law have time and the Constitution on their side.

It doesn’t matter. Street gangs don’t obey laws.

Gov. Pat Quinn wants to keep the citizens legally disarmed.

He is a disgrace to his office. The fact that he remains in office shows how badly the media has been taken over by statist toadies who do not believe in the rule of law.

The Governor, the Unmighty Quinn, and the AG Madigan are your typical leftists. Madigan tried to release all the Firearm Owner ID info to the press (in IL you have to have a state issued ID to possess a firearm)till everyone went ape. She wants to be Governor some day and she knew she’d overstepped. She’s backed off a little, ergo this article about not appealing. IL the worst state in the nation. The hell hole I live in.

“Whose side is the governor on?”

Gov. Pat Quinn is on the side of the criminals, thugs, gun grabbers, socialists and Marxists. He's owned and operated by Rahm Emanuel (Mayor of Chicago), Mike Madigan (IL Speaker of the House) and John Cullerton (President of the Senate). These are all statists that want to rule over their peasants like demigods.

“These are all statists that want to rule over their peasants like demigods.”

Yes, unfortunately I am one of the peasants.

Ditto. Time to reconsider what Claire Wolfe said about “the bastards”?
