What: The Judiciary Committee of the Illinois House of Representative will hold a hearing on concealed carry and other aspects of gun violence.

Use this link to confirm the scheduled time and location.
You may send an email to the chair of the Judiciary Committee, Rep. Elaine Nekritz, to tell her that you do not want Illinois to pass any concealed carry legislation until all appeals have been taken of the federal court decision and if the request for a rehearing is granted, there is no need to pass a new law. Ask Rep. Nekritz to make your email a part of the official record of her committee, and tell her the name of the town where you live.
