50/50
Here’s a report that says there’s about a 50-50 chance that Illinois will pass concealed carry laws:
Supporters of concealed-carry laws say Illinois residents have about a 50-50 chance of joining Minnesota, Ohio and Missouri in winning the right to carry hidden handguns.
Two bills that won approval in a House committee Tuesday would bar the City of Chicago from enforcing its ordinance prohibiting carrying a concealed weapon if state legislation is approved.The National Rifle Association and state groups are aggressively carrying the fight to Mayor Richard M.Daley, a staunch gun-control advocate.
Good strategy of taking the fight to the anti-gunners.

They’d better have the votes to override a veto. Gov. Blago-(I’m Daley’s)-bitch has already said he’ll veto any such bill.
