Effective immediately.

Done.

Thanks for posting this.

Am I the only one who finds switchblades to be slower to deploy than an assist opening type knife?

Probably not, but any chance to get rid of an antiquated and stupid law has my support.

Yep, we'll let someone carry a firearm, but not a knife?  They have seen too many movies from the 1950s.

Plus I'm not as concerned with speed as I think it would be easier for me  to use given arthritic flareups especially around thumb and wrist joints.

They`re going to hate me today I just finished a bunch of slips on a list I got from illinoiscarry.org.

Todays Senate Committee Hearing has been cancelled

LMFAO, Naturally....

All the witness slips were in our favor and Cook County didn`t want that.

The only opposing slip was from the Attorney Generals office.

Probably did not help that committee was scheduled for 5:30 pm and supposedly senators  spent much of day in recess discussing state budget proposals
