Apparently whomever has the title of Governor of Illinois also has the power to amend bills the way he likes them. It is called Amendatory Veto. Governor Pat Quinn just turned the already screwed Illinois Concealed Weapons bill into sheer madness. Here is some of the crap he pulled:
- No carry anywhere alcohol is served whether you drink or not.
- Home Rule stays. Every little body of government pretty much can come up with rules governing Concealed Carry and will make Illinois look like a mad seamstress quilt.
- The only way you can carry in an establishment is if the proprietors allow you do so and have signage indicating so…yes, the “Guns are allowed in this establishment” sign, a joke we have seen in other states is now part of Illinois law, a joke on itself.
- “When I say ten rounds, I mean ten rounds.” Not only you can only have a 10 round capacity on magazines, you are only allowed to carry ONE magazine. And no New York reloads either, you just can carry one gun. May your mag never fail.
- Accidental exposure of a gun? Bubba, you really are in trouble.
- If you apply for a CWP, expect your info to be available to the public. yes we will embarrass you and coerce you into not applying.
- The “readily convertible” Voldemort Magazine is also verbotten.
- Are you insane according to the nurse’s apprentice at your podiatrist’s office. She can snitch on you and you will not be able to carry as long as she is deemed “a qualified examiner.”
Governor Quinn pulled a Cartman and said to people of Illinois: “Screw you guys!”
Hat tip to Kurt Hoffman.
My takeaway: if you want some quick cash in Illinois, rob a bar. Nobody can shoot back, and everyone will be too drunk to identify you.
Bonus points if you dress as a maid.

sometimes I do worry about you š
I love Black Lagoon. It’s an excellent contrast to the US today. For example, Roanapur has considerably less corruption than Washington D.C.

Dammit, you maid me fergit where I put my anti psychotic meds….
Be calm, be calm, be calm.
It’s already dead. Brandon Phelps filed for an over-ride. The governor’s asinine proposal was dead mere hours after he offered it.
Thanks for the info John… I was really steamed reading the stupidity spewed by Quinn
Seems completely unconstitutional to me. And, as far as I’m concerned, if it’s not constitutional, it’s not a viable law.
The hope is that the court will look at what the little dictators pass and do a LoL and throw it out. The governor should be placed on a two week hold in a mental ward. The people of IL. should be there with him for voting for these dictators.
