I going to talk to my state representative about this. Want him to submit a bill to wave this waiting period.

Let us know when we can submit witness slips :D

Now there you go using common sense again!!!!  This state is controlled by a Democrat held house and senate.  For the past several years, the house democrats have not allowed any vote on gun  bills unless they are anti-gun.  The House (madigan) won't even allow them a vote in committee.  Your guy can introduce a bill but as long as the democrats control things, it won't see the light of day.  I have no doubt that Governor Rauner would sign this bill should it make it to his desk.  I'll guarantee pritzker would veto any such bill.

Still gotta try.

The lax confiscation of FOI cards for disqualifying offenses will undoubtedly serve as evidence of why waiting periods should still apply when considering CCW permits, despite the hypocrisy of it.

The bill you wanted:

HB4143 CRIM CD-FIREARM-WAITING PERIOD (2017)

HB4720 CRIM CD-FIREARM-WAITING PERIOD (2018)
Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Criminal Code of 2012. Provides that the 72 hour waiting period before delivery of a concealable firearm after application for its purchase has been made does not apply to a person who has been issued a valid license to carry a concealed handgun under the Firearm Concealed Carry Act. Effective immediately.

Why?  Because anti-gun democrats want to make it as inconvenient as they can get away with in order to dissuade you from purchasing a firearm.

In their worldview people who carry guns are probably even more suspect.

This is what those dumb assholes in Chicago want.  I personally don`t think there should be any waiting periods.

OP, don't waste your time.  No pro gun bill will ever see the light of day until madigan, madigan and cullerton are out of the picture.

and...if we get Pritzker...you can stick a fork in us!!!

I think you alluded to it, but anytime you see a bill referred to Rules, it's basically dead, unless Madigan pulls it back.  Just one of many procedural tricks he uses to his advantage.
