Agreed. Allowing concealed carry in Illinois (including Chicago) is the safest course of action for him. The delay is probably only a last ditch effort to hope and pray for federal/executive/whatever involvement, or some sort of anti-gun "miracle". However, it is a futile attempt.
Quinn is an imbecile who may be Governor in name/title but the power in the state rests with the Speaker of the House, Mike Madigan ... the Attorney General's father.
He is quite possibly the worst governor Illinois has ever had, IMO. Even union people dislike him.

I take it you are equally frustrated that concealed carry is a foregone conclusion in Illinois and Chicago?

I'll get a dialogue going with you when you retract your previous retort directed at me, I was just about to place you in the ignore bin.
Because a person disagrees with lawmakers is not a reason to call them names. Even though I dislike Quinn, I don't believe he falls into the filthy insect classification.

I hereby order you to include me in your ignore file.
Who the hell are you to call another person a cockroach? Is this what you think of people whose opinions differ from yours?
No, it's what I think of people who use the force of law to take personal weapons away from law-abiding people, and leave them at the mercy of the criminals. Which, incidentally, violates the U.S. Constitution as well.
And, those who support that act of taking away law-abiding people's weapons.

"Cockroaches" is the polite name for them.
Thanks for asking.
I believe people pushing their pro gun constitutional rights to carry guns anywhere they wish are slugs, which are actually lower than cockroaches, and I'm being polite too.
You totally or conveniently overlooked my initial statment and conflated my two statements into one related action.
I read your first statement. I quoted the second. Your first statement, at least to me, merely says the governor can legally not sign it. And the legislature would have to act. I don't know Illinois' process for vetos, pocket vetos, etc. But Illinois cannot refuse to abide by the federal judge's ruling. Correct? Their only course of action other than passing a CCW law that is constitutional is to appeal. I think if they appeal they will get their hand slapped strongly.

It is wholly constitutional that the Govenor not sign the legislation and it be remanded to the legislature for a veto vote.
