Illinois --(Ammoland.com)- Several important pro-gun bills passed out the House Agriculture committee this past week and there seemed to be a repeating pattern to the votes cast.

The following bills have been passed in committee, all on a vote of 13/1/0:

• HB0003 – Firearms Municipal Regulation
• HB0004 – Firearm Owners Preempt Loc Gov
• HB0005 – Wildlife Code Case Definition
• HB0008 – Firearm Owners ID Premption
• HB0264 – Firearm Owners Preemt Loc Gov
• HB0265 – Crim Cd Firearm Transport

Seems most all the lone negative votes were cast by newcomer Rep. Kelly Burke (D) District 36, which is the Oak Lawn/Evergreen Park/Chicago Ridge/Hickory Hills area.

If you live in District 36, now would be a great time to contact Ms. Burke and politely let her know you expect her to protect your right to keep and bear arms. Urge her to vote in favor of the upcoming Right to Carry bill HB148 which will be heard soon in this very same committee.

The registration deadline for this event is March 11 and cost is $150 per person. This includes all instruction, 25 sporting clay targets, lunch and guides during the hunt.

Ammunition, hunting license, bird cleaning and gratuities are not included in the registration fee. There is a $3.95 charge per bird for cleaning. As required by law, birds must be cleaned by Hunters Creek staff.
