I reported yesterday, Gov. Bruce Rauner (R-IL) did the right thing and vetoed SB 1657 &#8211; the Gun Dealer Licensing Bill. However, there are many more bills out there that need to die. Moreover, the anti-gun forces are attempting to repeal the state law that pre-empts local regulation of firearms. You can imagine the regulations that would be enacted by Chicagoland politicians in the city and the suburbs.<\/p>\n<p>On another note, kudos to the Iroquois County Board for its pro-Second Amendment resolution. The county is located in northeastern Illinois between Chicago and Champaign-Urbana on the Indiana border.<\/p>\n<p>Illinois Carry has sent out this alert. If you are an Illinois resident, contact your representative and senator.
