With the Safe Neighborhoods Act ruled unconstitional, it is now a misdemeanor to carry a firearm. However, Governor Ryan is pushing hard to make it a felony again. This has revived CCW talk in IL! Even in the Chicago Tribune there was an article today!

Gov. Ryan's comment about people carrying .45s in their belt is outrages. I sent him a nice fax telling him so, but don't just contact him contact your State Representatives and Senators. The Republican controlled Senate is not happy with Ryan on this one! Now is the time to go forward and bombard our Reps. use the NRA web page to find your Reps and Senators. Call, Fax, and Mail! I think we can do it! The Senate goes back in session next week!
