Illinois --(Ammoland.com)- In a week of unprecedented zany political maneuvers rarely seen even in Illinois, the Right to Carry debate raged on the floor of the IL House for nearly 9 hours this past Tuesday.
A video review of the highlights of the debate are available on Blueroomstream. Todd Vandermyde, NRA lobbyist offers analysis and summary of the debate on IllinoisCarry.com.
Contact your State Senator and State Rep.
The message going forward is simple:
- No bad Carry bill
- No more gun bans or gun control
- No to the City of Chicago’s legislative agenda until they respect the Second Amendment.
And thank you to those who supported Amendment 27 in the House – the Phelps carry “bill”
Witness Slips Needed for Firearm Related Bills

About:
The IllinoisCarry forum was started in April 2004. The idea was that Illinois needed a central location to communicate ideas and information regarding 2nd Amendment issues in Illinois. There are many organizations in Illinois working to protect our 2nd Amendment Rights. Working with these groups IllinoisCarry has become the central location for information and Action Alerts. IllinoisCarry will not endorse political candidates. We simply provide information so voters can make informed decisions. Our goal is to join the other 48 states that allow their citizens to carry concealed firearms. We encourage you to register on our forum and join the fight for your 2nd Amendment Rights in Illinois.

I have bypassed ILLINOIS FOR YEARS. And I will continue, to do so.
If you don’t stand up for your rights in your own state, don’t think anyone else help you. You have to help yourselves. Don’t depend on anyone else to do it. Never quit. I don’t!
When Illinois was granted Statehood, the Second Amendment was part of the Constitution. The Constitution is the BINDING AGREEMENT between all of the States of the union. Thus, the Second Amendment is part of that BINDING AGREEMENT between the States. The language of the Second Amendment is quite clear and not “open to interpretation”. Any “law” passed by Chicago, or the State of Illinois, that violates the Constitution, or the Second Amendment, is a violation of LAW and need not be obeyed … from it’s inception.
The PEOPLE of Illinois need to stand up, be arrested in necessary, RESIST UNLAWFUL ARREST IF NECESSARY, sue the State of Illinois and the City of Chicago for violation of the Constitution and LAW OF THE LAND.
I saw on one of these articles that someone wanted to start a tax to cover the cost of back ground checks for CWP. We already pay for these checks when we apply for a CWP and any tax is just a lie about what it is being used for. Most likely going to gun grabbers to further their agenda. Keep up the fight and don’t let anyone lie to you.
