Governor Quinn stated he would veto HB 148, he alluded to a grocery store encounter where we could be shot by someone carrying a concealed firearm. It was pointed out on the house floor that has never happened. The governor should issue a Travel Warning to Illinois residents. Don't travel to the border states of Missouri, Iowa, or Kentucky, or any of the other 48 states, they have concealed carry, it is dangerous in those states, you could be killed. Especially in Indiana, residents there can own machine guns, stay in Illinois or be killed by some gun toting citizen you bump into.

While listening to the debate I learned that Illinois already has concealed carry. Chicago Aldermen, the gun control elitists can carry concealed firearms. Is it not ironic that the very body of government that had its gun control law overturned by the supreme court already have what they deny Illinois citizens? Firearm owners are not second class citizens.

Fifty Democrats and two Republicans voted against concealed carry with one Democrat voting present.

Clearly, the Democrats in the house do not trust Illinois citizens with firearms, nor do they want you to have the right to protect yourself outside your home

We should all remember come the next election cycle that the Democratic Party of this state brought us three (in their mind) major victories. Civil unions, a 66 percent increase in personal income tax, and suppression of our right to self protection.
