Bad Reporting

I mentioned the other day the bill allowing IL residents to mail order instate ammo. Imagine my surprise when I read this headline:
Illinois residents can now legally mail order ammunition
Um, no. It passed the Senate 46-6 on Wednesday. It still has to go through the House and be signed by the Gov. Still a ways to go before we 'can now' do it.

I sent a very polite message informing the author of the misleading statement.

I admit that I haven't read the article - but technically, the headline is true.

Illinois residents CAN now legally mail order ammunition - just not from Illinois vendors.
