Illinois House/ Concealed Carry
   The Illinois House has approved a Concealed Carry Bill. State Representatives voted 85 to 30 in favor of the bill with one member voting "present". The bill permits law abiding gun owners who have been trained and screened to carry concealed weapons. The bill would prohibit people from carrying guns in public places like parks, schools, public transit systems, and government buildings.
