SPRINGFIELD — A firearms-friendly panel of lawmakers on Tuesday recommended approval of a measure allowing folks in Illinois to carry a concealed gun if they get training and a permit, a yearly symbolic and political move that does not necessarily portend a change in the law.
The same dynamic remains in place as in previous years: Downstate lawmakers team up to pass the concealed-carry legislation out of the House Agriculture and Conservation Committee, but Chicago Democrats and some suburban Republicans team up to prevent it from moving much further.

Considering that Illinois has the highest amount of gang members per capita, it's about time that Illinois pass this law. But I'll bet Mayor Daley, Mr. "Guns kill people. People don't." is really puked out about this after he has spent years protecting gang member from enraged citizens.
