Illinois Concealed Carry Bill Goes to House Floor – HB148
Illinois –-(Ammoland.com)- We are very pleased to announce that HB148, Concealed Carry, passed out of the House Agriculture Committee by a vote of 12-1.
However, there is trouble ahead for HB148. Governor Quinn has promised to veto the bill if it is passed and anti-gun forces have been engaged in heavy arm-twisting in the House, trying to get representatives to drop support for the bill.
The gun control movement is employing all sorts of underhanded tricks and lies to leave you and your family defenseless against attacks by violent criminals.
Your immediate action is required to help ensure that HB148 passes the Illinois House. Here is what you need to do:
1. Call your state representative at both his/her District and Springfield offices. Politely tell the person on the phone that you are a law-abiding Illinois citizen who wants the opportunity to defend yourself and family from dangerous criminals. Tell the person on the phone that you would like the representative to vote “YES” on HB148. If you do not know who your state representative is, please follow this link to the website of the Illinois State Board Of Elections search function:

I have been an Ill resident for the majority of my life.
I lived in Florida for about 10 yrs. I had a CCW there.
I am back in Ill now and without my ability to defend myself, especially as I get older and weaker physically, if this bill fails I will move too Missouri!
