There will be a fight, still, but there are a lot of pro-gun forces in Illinois. It really is a state held captive by a leftist Chicago mafia and a city full of utterly stupid voters. Unfortunately that model has now been transplanted to the national level. But there is a good chance for the 2A in Illinois now. The sound you hear coming from that "Stop Concealed Carry Coalition" is the sound of panic.

Sounds like the tables are changing but a lot of the anti-gun people seem to be coming from COOK County which is 40% of the population of the state and lots of income (Chicago)

Has Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn Accepted Defeat on Concealed Carry?

Today, the Gov.’s remarks seem to reflect a resignation to that inevitability.
In a statement, the Gov. said that he would work with the General Assembly on a concealed carry bill provided that the law includes “reasonable restrictions,” such as prohibiting the mentally ill from carrying concealed firearms (something that’s already illegal under federal law).

Isn't that going to prohibit most Cook County politiicians from getting a license?
