No Consensus

Good.  [Read]

Maybe they'll keep squabbling and don't enact "shall issue," everything will default to Constitutional Carry when the clock runs out on June 10.

Scott Drury, what a tool you are.

Anybody have any additional knowledge to bring to the issue of no acquittals?

Unfortunately, Rep. Brandon Phelps, supposedly on "our" side, and the driving force behind the "good" concealed carry bill, is rumored to be turning the bill into a travesty that even Furious Mike could live with:

Phelps said he has worked compromise into his legislation, which was being drafted late tonight. Under his previous proposal, the state police would issue concealed carry licenses, but sheriffs could contest applications. Phelps said he also plans to give that option to Chicago city police. Phelps said he also plans to increase the fee for licenses from the $25 fee in his first iteration of the plan to $100 and call for $30 from each license to go to a special fund dedicated to repairing the state’s troubled FOID card system and ensuring that county mental health records are reported to the state police. He said training requirements would also be increased from four hours in the original bill to 10 hours and would include a live ammunition test. “We’re offering a lot of things,” he said. “This version of what we’re going to try to run tomorrow is a combination of about four bills that we have had in the time that I have been here.”

Rumor is that this atrocity will be voted on today. It's as if "our" side hasn't noticed that it's the other side that needs a bill--ours doesn't.
