NEWS FLASH

Today, Illinois Will Become The Only State With A Concealed-Carry Gun Ban | Today, GOP Gov. Scott Walker will sign a bill overturning Wisconsin’s ban on concealed weapons. The bill allows people with a concealed-carry permit to carry concealed guns into “most public buildings, including the state Capitol and city halls, unless there is a sign posted saying they are not permitted.” In doing so, Wisconsin joins 48 other states in legalizing the carrying of concealed weapons and leaves Illinois as the only state with a ban.
