Conceal Carry Advances In Committee

Representative Brandon Phelps isn't giving up on the fight to legalize conceal carry in Illinois.  A revised proposal passed in a House committee yesterday.  The new version of the bill allows universities to ban conceal carry on campus.  Phelps believes that will help push the measure through but others aren't as optimistic.  Representative Kelly Burke expressed concerns over potential university liabilities.  She was the only member of the committee who voted no on the proposal.  The measure failed by six votes last year but Phelps says he's confident he has all but one vote needed to pass the bill this time around.
