USSC Gives Lisa Cover

Thirty day extension on an appeal deadline, but leaves the 09 June deadline intact:
  • The U.S. Supreme Court is giving Illinois' attorney general more time to decide whether to appeal a ruling that the state's ban on the public possession of firearms is unconstitutional.

    Attorney General Lisa Madigan now has until June 24 to ask the high court to hear the case.

    The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals found Illinois' prohibition on the carrying of concealed firearms unconstitutional in December. It ordered lawmakers to pass legislation to legalize concealed carry by June 9.

    The 30-day extension granted by the court Friday does not affect that deadline.
This changes nothing on the ground, but gives Lisa political cover by allowing the 09 June deadline to pass and then see what happens. If the legislature passes something, Lisa says the precess worked. If they don't, it's all their fault and wouldn't she make a great governor running on promises to enact laws the House and Senate couldn't?

what happens is that Constitutional Carry takes effect June 9th

if you have a FOID card you can walk around in public strapped with a sidearm in open view

certain areas will still be prohibited like airports, courts, etc

I got a holster for everyone in my and have signed up for pistol courses down south. We decided to make it a once a year family trip/training event. None of us have been supportive of the ccw movement but in recent spike in crime and crime spreading out into different parts of the city, we didn't have much choice. Politicians and judges want the good people to be victims forever. We are sick of it. It's time for good people to defend themselves. Not to be a super hero or a member of the seal six, but simply to defend what is ours.
