CHICAGO (AP) -- A federal appeals court has struck down a ban on carrying concealed weapons in Illinois -- the only state where carrying concealed weapons is entirely illegal.
The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals announced Tuesday that state lawmakers have 180 days to write a new law that legalizes concealed carry.
The ruling is a victory for gun rights advocates, who argue that the prohibition against concealed weapons violates the U.S. Constitution's Second Amendment and what they see as Americans' right to carry guns for self-defense.
Attorney General Lisa Madigan's office says it is reviewing the ruling and would comment Tuesday.
The ruling stems from a lawsuit filed by former corrections officer Michael Moore of Champaign, farmer Charles Hooks of Percy in southeastern Illinois and the Bellevue, Wash.-based Second Amendment Foundation.

“If we need to change the law, let us at least craft a law that is very severely constrained and narrowly tailored so that we don’t invite guns out of control on each of our city’s streets,” Currie said. “I don’t want people out of control wandering the streets with guns that are out of control.”

Because you have this insane logic that criminals dont give a rats @$$ about the law so it is best to be able to defend yourself against The Law Breakers.

No, that I am endowed by my creator with unalienable rights. Self defense is an unalienable right. They will never take that away from me. Not while I draw breath.

“I don’t want people out of (my) control" Currie said.

You just have to learn to read between the lines.

Illinois Press Association opposes exemptions in gun bill (http://www.sj-r.com/breaking/x1039452247/Illinois-Press-Association-opposes-exemptions-in-gun-bill)



The Illinois Press Association has come out in opposition to concealed-carry legislation the General Assembly approved last week on the grounds that a newly created licensing review board’s exemption from the Freedom of Information and Open Meetings acts is unwarranted.



Absolute exclusion from both acts is effectively “sealing all records of the board,” not just the identity of concealed-carry permit applicants, which is not information the group is after, said Josh Sharp, the association’s director of government relations.
As the legislation is written currently, what’s discussed at the board’s meetings and when and where they are held is off-limits to the public, Sharp said.
