Appeals court gives Quinn extra time to review gun law[/size][/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]<br />
The Illinois attorney general's office says the federal appellate court has given the state an extra 30 days to lift its ban on concealed weapons. <br />
<br />
The court on Tuesday granted Attorney General Lisa Madigan's request to allow Gov. Pat Quinn more time to review legislation passed last week. <br />
<br />
However, on issuing its ruling, the court said it would not issue another extension of its mandate past the new deadline of July 9... <br />

    [font=times new roman,times,serif]I'm wrong again... Didn't think the idiots would be granted the extra time and wonder if the constitutional carry thing kicks in?[/font]

    Attorney General Lisa Madigan moved Monday to get Gov. Pat Quinn another month to mull over newly passed legislation to give Illinois gun owners authority to carry their weapons in public places.    [/font][font=Palatino, Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif]<br />
    Madigan filed paperwork with the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals seeking a 30-day extension of a court order requiring the state to come up a law that would end Illinois’ last-in-the-country prohibition against concealed carry.    [/font][font=Palatino, Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif]<br />
    A December ruling by the appeals panel gave Quinn and the state Legislature 180 days to craft concealed-carry legislation. That deadline expires on June 9, leaving Quinn little time to review the legislation sent to him last week by the Illinois House.    [/font][font=Palatino, Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif]<br />
    There also has been uncertainty about what exactly would happen after June 9 if no concealed-carry law was on the books. Gun-rights advocates had predicted “mayhem” in which it might be permissible for owners of even military-style weapons to take their guns anywhere they wanted.    [/font][font=Palatino, Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif]<br />
    “This request for an additional 30 days would allow the governor a reasonable amount of time to fulfill his state constitutional duties,” Madigan said in a prepared statement.    [/font][font=Palatino, Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif]<br />
    “Further, if granted, this additional time would help prevent a situation in which there is no state law in place governing the carrying of handguns in public, which the Court sought to avoid in setting the original stay,” she said.    [/font][font=Palatino, Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif]<br />
    The governor’s office welcomed the move by Madigan, who has not ruled out a possible 2014 primary challenge against Quinn for governor.    [/font][font=Palatino, Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif]<br />
    “We think the request for a 30-day stay is appropriate,” Quinn spokeswoman Brooke Anderson said. “The bill has not yet arrived. Ordinarily, under the Illinois Constitution, the governor has 60 days to review a bill upon its arrival.”    [/font][font=Palatino, Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif]<br />
    Last week, the governor’s office would only say Quinn intends to “review” the legislation but would not offer any sense of the governor’s leanings on the legislation.    [/font][font=Palatino, Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif]<br />
    The plan that was fast-tracked through the House and Senate last week was a compromise deal that preserves existing local gun laws, including Chicago and Cook County’s bans on assault weapons, and keeps gun owners from carrying their loaded weapons on public trains and buses.    [/font]

    It Took the State of IL over 2 years to implement HR218 after Bush signed that into Law in 2004 (retired LE concealed carry)

    It seems to me that Illinois was given until June 9th to have a LAW passed not just legislation to be signed pending another 30 days.<br />

    The governor had to make sure he knew what he was implementing. We can't be rushing into these things. <br />

    Just a suggestion, Rich, but don't let your trial be held in Cook County...

    Here's the ruling. Note no more extensions. <br />
