Illinois House To Consider Gun ‘Control’ Proposals, Firearm-Related Legislation Tuesday

“No doubt about it- the fight for the preservation of gun rights will be an ongoing one. Especially here in Illinois.”

-Survival And Prosperity, January 4, 2013

Here we go again. From the National Rifle Association Institute for Legislative Action website last night:

Illinois: House Speaker Madigan Orders House to Consider Firearm Legislation Next Tuesday

Contact your state Representative IMMEDIATELY and tell him or her to only support NRA-Backed House Bill 997!

NRA-ILA has just learned that beginning at noon next Tuesday, February 26, the Illinois House will be considering various gun control proposals and other firearm-related legislation. It is not yet clear what measures will be considered. At this moment, there is a strong possibility that among the various extreme anti-gun measures, a deeply flawed concealed carry bill will be heard.

You must contact your state Representative IMMEDIATELY. Tell them to oppose any and all gun control schemes that do nothing other than penalize law-abiding citizens and take away their means to self-defense. It is imperative that legislators do NOT vote in favor of any flawed concealed carry legislation, but instead support NRA-Backed House Bill 997.

Your NRA-ILA will continue to keep you updated as details become available. Contact information for your state legislators can be here.
