Last night, Illinois became the 50th state to permit concealed weapons when lawmakers in Springfield overrode Governor Pat Quinn’s objections to enact laws allowing firearms in homes, vehicles, restaurants, private property and churches. (The law forbids them in schools, government buildings, taverns, mass transit, and in areas with posted signs forbidding them.)

Under the legislation, qualified gun owners could holster their handguns and carry them down the main streets of the state. But gun shop owners argue that the 16 hours of training required to get a concealed carry license is more than other states require. “You have to go through a background check. You have to be fingerprinted. You have to get your conceal carry card,” Freddie Lutger of Freddie Bear Sports told CBS Chicago. “It’s not a free for all at all.”

Over the Fourth of July weekend in Chicago, 10 people were shot and killed and 55 were wounded. Here is today’s report.
