The excuses are weak and pathetic, just like all the opponents of CCW:
“Our streets need to be safer, and a concealed carry law would put first responders and the public at risk by allowing more weapons – hidden weapons – in public places."...The same nonsense trotted out before each and every other state passed CCW. Now just add one more reason Illinois is a laughing stock.
“In fact, by the time they get the gun out, it may well be too late. And to the extent they get the gun out early, they may well be causing pain and harm and damage to a family member,” Currie said.

I am ashamed to be a resident of Illinois.
"In fact, by the time they get the gun out, it may well be too late."
Notice that this Nervous Nellie's skepticism only applies to private gun owners and not to the police.

Whining boy's skepticism is only applied to private gun owners drawing a gun, but not to police officers doing the same thing. Last I heard, we're still all human. We don't have any mistake-proof Robocops walking around!
Is Illinois such a police state that only police get to vote there? The governor, pathetic handwringer that he is, seems to think that they're the only ones whose lives are worth defending. How's that supposed to play with the voters? The voters of Illinois should replace their pathetic, cowardly, un-American, commie, wussy boy governor with an American ASAP. We have the right to keep and bear arms in this land of the free and home of the brave, and Illinois should have a governor with the courage to be proud of that.
The above comment hit the nail on the head. Illinois is a police state. That is the whole idea of gun-control. The above comment is also correct in that the voters of Illinois are to blame for electing such officials. This includes Chicago. None were elected by my vote.
Illinois is going to win the race for last place.
Congrats?
