Wow, Illinois to add concealed carry?

Sounds like it is possible.

I'll believe it when I see it.

On a side note, I loved this comment on the article:

I like the old system of the "Illinois Gun Check" which occured at the Poplar Street Bridge. They stopped you for a gun check and if you didn't have one, they gave you one. What ever happened to that?
