Showing Original Post only (View all)Illinois: Phelps files to override Quinn's amendatory veto of concealed carry bill. [View all]
Rep. Phelps (D-Harrisberg) filed to override the Governor's amendatory veto.
If the override passes, Gov. Quinn looks like an idiot, and the bill becomes law without his changes.
If the override fails, the bill does not become law, Illinois gets open and concealed carry without a permit (the so-called Constitutional Carry), and Gov. Quinn looks like an idiot.
Were just going to make him irrelevant again, Phelps said. For the life of me, I dont know why he would want to be irrelevant.
