    began as an amendment to the electronic fund transfer act?
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    They are calling it a shall issue, but if a local leo can stop it due to his opinion of a person, sounds like may issue to me

    Amendment 5,6, and 7 abolished the other amendments and instituted a shall issue bill.

    The LEO stoppage is done through a committee. So if an LEO recomends someone to not have a CCP, then it will go to the committee for approval. The committee is split on party lines with NRA representative as a resource. This was clarified better today then in HB997 from last week.

    They can't, the bill passed with a super majority in both houses. This gives the bill pre-exception over local laws.

    That's good news. Let them adopt it, then after they see how well it works, they can simplify it.

    Funny that some folks who go ballistic over a poll tax have no problem with a renewable $150 fee for ccw.

    Credit will be given for veterans dd214 or credit for successful NRA class attendance such as hunters safety or handgun class's. Credit for out of state ccw courses completed.

    The total credit allowable will be 8 hours towards the 16 demanded by the legislation.

    Remember we're still waiting to see if the Gov will sign this , veto it, line veto it or sit on it.

    He can do whatever he wants, but if he doesn't sign it he'll be in contempt of court in about a week I would think.

    Correct, if you have taken NRA courses, hunter ed, ect in the past, that will count towards 8 of the hours. I suspect hunter ed classes are going to be filling up soon.

    The major event on getting this to happen was the Moore v Madigan lawsuit and the way the 7th district federal court of appeals phrased their decision.

    It was a constant motivator hitting the legislator atop their heads thru the whole 180 days the court gave them to pass legislation.
    The deadline expires June 9th. If there wasn't a deadline in the courts decision I doubt this would have happened.

    $150 fee & 16hr training.[:(!]

    I saw some posts about grandfather hours. Does hunter safety course count as 8hrs just for vets or civilians too?

    The talk about all the different rules we are going to have from town to town(if it's correct) will just make felons out of legal owners.

    All the restricted areas they talked about pretty much excludes all the places you really need a firearm.

    Georgia is a Shall issue state and I have heard of people having to go before the Probate Judge for an interview. When I first got mine, that county required it and he said Why do you need a CCW.... I said check out my address... which was on Techwood Drive at the time. Oh, he said and stamped it approved. I have to go get it renewed, waiting on my passport renewall to get back...

    It's kind of a CRAP bill, but hugely better than we had before now. There will be years of lawsuits/legislature going before it gets to where it needs to be. All things considered, it's really not as bad as it could have been. There are a few states out there that would LOVE this bill to be their law.

    You don't want that, then every town and county can make their own rules, you may be legal in one city, and be a felon in the next! This bill is one law for the whole state! You know that Chicago would love to have their own rules!

    Chitcago is still keeping their bans. I just read it off senators website. Id post a link but im on my phone.

    Here is another I found, couldn't find the one I read on my phone.

    ".....Under House Bill 183, municipalities will be able to keep on the books current gun ordinances unrelated to concealed carry, such as Chicago's assault-weapons ban and Cook County's firearm and ammunition tax, but would be prohibited from enacting ordinances that deny Illinoisans their Second Amendment rights...."

    Bam,

    Chicago gets to keep their AWB. This is different from the bill last week which completely abolishes it. It does however foid their handgun laws for all CCP holders. So taking a 15 round magazine into Chicago is not a problem with this law. The law also gives places 10 days to create a ban after the law goes into effect.

    Agreed, I don't like the bill. However, it is shall issue and I can take a weapon just about anywhere. Several states do not have this type of bill.
