I have noticed that a bill establishing CCW in Illinois (HB 148) has entered committee, yet I haven't seen it being discussed here. Have I missed it? I would think this would be a fairly hot topic in the Illinois forum.
What I gather is the Family and Personal Protection Act (HB 148) has been read and has entered the Agriculture and Conservation Committee. After reading about the bill here:

I have noted who has signed on as a sponsor. From the current list of sponsors, I have noted that 6 of them are on the Agriculture & Conservation Committee:
Brandon W. Phelps
Lisa M. Dugan
David Reis
Dan Reitz
Keith P. Sommer
Patrick J. Verschoore
Wouldn't it be a good idea for members in the Illinois forum to contact the others on the Agriculture & Conservation Committee and start bending their ears?
(The committee members and their contact info can be found here:http://www.ilga.gov/house/committees/members.asp?committeeID=209)
It looks like it has a scheduled hearing on Feb 15th at 1:00p.m. in Capitol Building Room 122B

Is anyone going?
What's the outlook on this bill? Since 6 of the co-sponsors are on the Committee, doesn't this look favorable that it will be introduced on the floor for a vote? Are any of you Illinoisians staying on top of this? Am I missing something?
