Lawmakers get to work on gun control
Updated: January 15, 2013
SPRINGFIELD -- Gun control is set to be one of the biggest issues at the Capitol this spring and lawmakers already have a new conceal carry plan in the works.
The Supreme court ruled that Illinois has to pass a law allowing concealed carry by May. The law would allow people to carry guns, but would require a permit. The state police and local sheriff's departments will regulate the permits and gun owners will have to train before carrying their weapons. Some lawmakers are eager to pass this bill.
