Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan has filed for a 30-day stay

(extension) of the 7th Circuit of Appeals’ injunction giving the

legislature 180 days to pass a concealed carry law or face invalidation

of the state’s current ban on concealed carry. [Click here

for the pdf.] In other words, Madigan’s trying to buy time for Governor

Quinn to modify/kill the concealed carry bill recently passed by the

Illinois state legislature. That bill isn’t ideal; the list of

prohibited places makes Utah’s alcohol restrictions seem libertine and

the various fees will have a distinctly disinhibitory effect. But

there’s a lot to like (e.g. no Chicago carve-out, “safe harbor”

provisions and restaurant carry). Here’s hoping the 7th Circuit will

tell Madigan to FOAD and instruct Quinn to piss or get off the pot. So

to speak.

In case your were wondering if there could be other reasons for the delay...

Our wonderful Lt. Gov. has been sent out on the campaign trail to tell all the home rule communities to pass assault weapon bans before CC becomes law. If'n they don't...

“We have seen the tragic results assault weapons have had on our streets, in our schools, movie theaters and more,” Simon, a Democrat from Carbondale, said in a statement Sunday. “The clock is ticking, so I encourage mayors and local officials to act now to ban assault weapons and retain local control over this important issue.”

Words cannot describe how many of us feel about our "elected officials."
