Lawmakers have 180 days to pass concealed-carry lawDec. 12, 2012, 11:22 am By Dimitrios Kalantzis dkalantzis@daily-journal.com 815-802-5144If Illinois residents were allowed to carry loaded handguns outside of their homes and businesses, Eddie Rodgers, who runs a gun shop in Bradley, said he'd likely carry his custom .45 caliber Kimber pistol. "I want something that's going to stop someone," he said. But the 60-year-old wasn't sounding too optimistic that Illinois would join the rest of the country in adopting some form of a concealed-carry law. Illinois is the only remaining state where carrying concealed weapons is entirely illegal. That's all right. Many other gun rights supporters were celebrating for him.
