Illinois changes!
I was just told that the House and Senate overrode the governor's amendatory veto. The new law takes immediate effect. It even has limited reciprocity: out of state holders of CCW can carry inside their car, but not on their person.
UPDATE: Howard Nemerov reports that it takes a 60% vote to override a veto. In the House, the vote was 102-13 (89%) and in the Senate 45-12 (79%). This is a stunning defeat for the governor, esp since his party controls both houses.
Daily Kos, in a surprising favorable post, says the vote was 77-31 and 41-17. That'd be 71% and 70%. Breitbart is reporting same figures as Kos.

Reading the law as passed looks like freedom does have a price and that price is expensive for a non resident of Illinois.

It seems everyone on the world is reporting the same vote tallies as Kos and Breitbart except you. Where did you get your figures?
