CCW BILL ALERT - SB 2193 - VIABLE PROPOSAL ON THE TABLE

<br />
<br />
After many years of working to advance a Right to Carry bill, there is a viable proposal on the table. This bill, SB 2193, sponsored by Representative Brandon Phelps, is not a perfect bill but it does have several good points, for example: <br />
<br />
[font=Wingdings, Wingdings]&#61607; [/font]Shall issue <br />
<br />
[font=Wingdings, Wingdings]&#61607; [/font]Statewide pre-emption of all gun laws <br />
<br />
[font=Wingdings, Wingdings]&#61607; [/font]Commercially available training <br />
<br />
[font=Wingdings, Wingdings]&#61607; [/font]Vehicles will be a safe haven <br />
<br />
<br />
However, the bill does call for: [font=Wingdings, Wingdings] [/font] <br />
[font=Wingdings, Wingdings]&#61607; [/font]16 hours of training, although some previous training will count toward those hours <br />
<br />
[font=Wingdings, Wingdings]&#61607; [/font]$150.00 license fee, for five years <br />
<br />
[font=Wingdings, Wingdings]&#61607; [/font]Carry on mass transportation prohibited <br />
<br />
This bill, if passed, will bring Right to Carry to Illinois, but due to the restrictions in the bill we are neutral on the bill. <br />
<br />
While many people have been involved in this effort, Representative Brandon Phelps has demonstrated superior leadership and should be commended for his resolve. <br />

It's a start... not good...not bad<br />
<br />
Maybe a one step at a time approach will at least move thing forward...
