Questions Arise Over Concealed Carry Deadline

There seems to be confusion over when people in Illinois will get the right to carry a gun in public. A federal court ordered lawmakers to get a law on the books by June 9th, but Paul Castiglione [[ Kuh-stig-LEE-own ]], with the Cook County State's Attorney's Office, says the appellate court has no authority to make that call.

Some argue people will automatically get the right to carry if lawmakers miss their June 9th deadline but Castiglione [[ Kuh-stig-LEE-own ]], says that's not so.

Governor Quinn wants lawmakers to go ahead and pass a bill. He says they should comply with the court order. But, he wants to make sure people aren't allowed to carry a gun in places like schools or churches.
