9. That's why several states are discouraging Illinois from appealing the CCW decision

NY, California and a few others have already contacted Lisa Madigan, Illinois AG, and are encouraging her NOT to appeal the recent appellate court decision insisting on a CCW for Illinois. Rahm is trying to get her to appeal and hoping for an extended court process to delay the inevitable.

If it reaches SCOTUS, which it probably would, the "May Issue" states are seriously concerned that the issue of obvious discrimination in May Issue CCW issuance may get it thrown out as unconstitutional.

Either way, the clock is ticking. Illinois has 180 days from December 10th (IIRC) to pass and install a CCW law or we revert to Constitutional Carry. I don't see our resident political characters missing out on the revenue from CC permits so we'll have something and our Downstate Dems are leaning heavily to a Shall Issue model.
