The official Status update thread part 4

[Kick]

Before HR 218 came into play, Illinois law did not permit Indiana LEOs to carry.

 

[magic man]

Yeah. The only sad thing is that even if the bill were to pass, I can't help but wonder if they would offer reciprocity...

The updated bill that they actually voted on offered non-resident permits.

Nice, sounds like you were following the bill pretty closely!

Dammit people, I need some input here....

um, I got nothing Kick. I've got every gun I've ever bought for me (and one I bought for someone else)....

I just spent the last hour catching up on it.


If you care to read it, here is the bill they voted on. Section 25 covers the requirements. It's right after page 6.

I gave it a "quick read" and WOW. I can't believe that there wasn't enough red tape to make the democrats from up north happy!

 

[Suprtek]

Hay! How Y'all doin?

 

[ljadayton]

Hay! How Y'all doin?

We're good. How are you?

I don't think anything would make them happy.

 

[Suprtek]

Not too bad. I didn't set anything on fire today.


Yet.

Prolly not. They have believed that guns are the devil for generations now. Kind of like when you turn the news on and they are talking about the great results they got from a gun turn in. I just look at all of the elderly people that turned their means of defending their family in. I watch those and can't help but wonder if the criminals throw a party to celebrate....

Guns are da devil? Hmmm, since I OWN a bunch of devils, what's that make me?

Here are some of the anti comments made at the hearing.


Rep. Will Burns said he was car-jacked at the age of 17. Also, held up while he was coming home to his dormitory. Said neither instance would he have been safer with concealed carry. Would likely have been shot.

Rep. Williams, D-Chi: I disagree that more guns make us safer. We're talking loaded guns on trains, malls, beaches. Loaded guns!!

Rep. Eddie Acevedo, a Chicago cop, says concealed carry of guns would be dangerous. Says no evidence it would make people safer.

Rep. Eddie Acevedo, D-Chicago, who is a Chicago cop: I have 1sthand knowledge how dangerous it will be to allow people to carry loaded guns

Rep. Osterman: ConcealedCarry "adds gas to a fire...This will add to injury, to death, gun violence in our state."

I've never met someone from Illinois scared to come to Indiana. They should be with all the crazy people carrying guns legally over here.
