Wasn't there also a guy who opened up the registry because he forgot to re-register his handgun?

IL requires a Licensee-In-Charge (owner of security company) that is registered with the IL Dept. of Professional Regulations. A Security Officer can at the direction of a 'LIC' get the IL Armed Security Licence (Tan Card, FAC, Whatever they are calling it). As long as the Officer is working they can carry a firearm they qualify with. There are 4 classifications of Firearms. Revolver, Semi-Auto Pistol, Shotgun and Rifle. The Security Officer at the direction of the LIC can carry plain clothes and on duty. I've not been in Security in IL for a number of years.
This is how PI's, Process Servers, and VIP Protection details carry in IL in plain clothed concealed. Now that is a goofy loophole in the law, and THE ONLY way a non police officer can carry concealed in IL. (so far) What dipwad did at the airport, and his buddies, is abusing that law. Citing that he just got off duty and forgot it? Really? That should get his 'golden' security lic. pulled with jail time, not to mention getting time for the stunt at the airport. He still has to follow the 1 hour to and 1 hour from work rule. |

Typically political donors - regardless of felony convictions - would get shuffled to alocal park district, shich, under IL law, can establish their own PD's. They were the dustbin of quid pro quo CCW for years until the (R)'s in Springfield during their last gasp of majority around '92 required official training and certification but couldn't give us CCW. Even to the (R)'s we weren't "worthy". |

Given the time frame it would be Thompson or Edgar, but the only thing could find was Edgar vetoing a change in the UUW statute. Gov. Edgar Vetoes Measure To Relax Gun Penalties
August 17, 1997 By Teresa Puente, Tribune Staff Writer. Gov. Jim Edgar vetoed legislation Saturday that would have relaxed penalties for carrying a concealed gun. A first offense of unlawfully carrying a concealed weapon would have become a misdemeanor under the legislation. The offense has been a felony in Illinois since January 1995. Since then, crimes involving guns in Chicago have declined. "Clearly, the tougher penalty for unlawfully carrying a concealed weapon has helped deter the use of weapons in Illinois," Edgar said. "To lower the penalty now would be a serious mistake and a giant step backward in the statewide effort to fight crime and better protect our homes and streets." http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1997-08-17/news/9708170061_1_jim-edgar-penalties-carrying |
