EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE <br />
As you know last Friday, after years of work the Illinois House and Senate had passed HB0183 with an overwhelming vote. It is the first concealed carry bill to ever pass the Illinois General Assembly. The votes in both Houses surpassed the Super Majority requirement by a wide margin. Even though the bill had passed both houses the June 8th date still existed. Tuesday, Attorney General Lisa Madigan filed and received a 30 day extension on the June 8th date. Now we are at a July 8th date. <br />
<br />
The Governor received HB0183 today. There are four things that can happen. <br />
1. The Governor can sign the bill. <br />
<br />
2. The Governor can take no action and in 60 days the bill becomes law but that would push us passed the July 8th day. It is conceivable the court could grant another extension.<br />
<br />
3. The Governor could veto the bill. <br />
4. The Governor could use an Amendatory Veto (AV). Number 3 and 4 would mean it would be October 22nd before an override of the Governor's veto could happen.<br />
<br />
There are a variety of things that can happen in the coming days and months. What ever happens I assure you the ISRA will do all it can on your behalf. I'm sure we will have many alerts before this is all over so please keep checking your emails. <br />
<br />
I told everyone we are going to have our resolve tested and tested again. We will never quit fighting and we will never give up. The Second Amendment is here to stay in Illinois.<br />
<br />
Thanks for being a member. <br />
Richard Pearson<br />

[font=times new roman,times,serif]I realize that it is sometimes a waste of time to speculate or comment on what "might happen" and then what the ramifications would be, but I really would like to know what the legalities would be under each possible scenario. [/font]
