Illinois Challenges Concealed Carry Decision

[Trent]

There will be no freedom in Illinois until the Chicago machine politicians are dead or in prison.

Damn, Jeff, I wouldn't expect that sort of hard line from you.

But, thank you, for echoing my thoughts.

 

[Trent]

Amendment 12 failed. (No ban in public gatherings, parades, fairs, etc.)

Amendment 13 withdrawn (no ban in places of worship)

Amendment 14 up (public transportation ban)

 

[Trent]

THEY PULLED ALL REMAINING AMENDMENTS AND SKIPPED TO PHELPS HB997

HOLY CRAP!

They threw in the towel!!!!

Wow....that sounds like a good thing.....

[Trent]

Well, there's still 3 amendments up after Phelps's amendment 27, which would gut Phelps and re-institute everything ahead of it.

Also, Phelp's amendment says "as amended", which means the 10 they passed EARLIER prohibiting certain locales would stand...

 

[Trent]

These amendments after Phelp's have some nasty language.

Is there live video for this right now?

EDIT: Found it....

EDIT2 - It's REALLY choppy

 

[Trent]

Ugh permits go up to $80 from 25.

 

[Trent]

"This is one of the most restrictive concealed carry bills in the United States, I urge you to put forward a Yes vote."

(This is the shall-issue bill.)

 

[Phatty]

Ugh permits go up to $80 from 25.

And State Police now have 90 days (!) to process applications.

 

[Trent]

"Everything (amendments) we have done today becomes part of bill becomes law, correct?"

"Correct"

Losing mass transit, schools, etc just became HUGE.

 

[Trent]

Ugh the stakes are frigging high. Phelps just said "as amended" would he recommend a yes vote?

He answered "yes."

Damn. We got hosed on those 10 amendments earlier.

My OFFICE is within 1000 feet of a damn school!

 

[Birdhunter1]

Still has to go through and be passed by the Senate.

 

[Trent]

The liberal black legislator is arguing for removal of "Duty to Inform" because he's afraid of police profiling?!

And Phelps is ARGUING against him?

What the hell.

Let the duty to inform die.

I'm listening also and wondered the same thing.....

[Trent]

I'm betting Phelps made a deal with Illinois State Police about duty to inform, and has to stick to his guns.

Phelps should have just said "duty to inform" doesn't authorize the police to make otherwise illegal stops.

 

[Trent]

Yeah Phelps didn't handle that one very well.

 

[Warners]

I love how these anti's talk about "the other side" and their hesitation to propose an amendment because it will get shot down. Boy, now they know how it feels!

Warner

 

[Trent]

No private sales are not exempt AT gun shows.

Jesus Phelps. Get with it dude.

 

[Warners]

Sounds like this dude just wants to bitch about stuff without filing any amendments for the parts he doesn't like.....

 

[Warners]

Quoting Thomas Jefferson.....pretty cool stuff...

 

[Trent]

Yeah Phelps is tired. Man they need a recess, they've been at it 9 hours now.

 

[Warners]

Whenever he get pressured he's falling back on the threat of constitutional carry......which is worthy to remind them of the alternative.....

 

[Birdhunter1]

Rep Ford sounded like he was high.
