"But they have to be reasonable," Pearson said. "They can't make it so restrictive that average people can't do it."
They will craft it just like in NJ where no one gets a carry permit! It's called "justifiable need"!
Illinois governor wants appeal of concealed carry ruling
Gov. Pat Quinn said Wednesday that he wants the state's attorney general to appeal a federal court ruling that Illinois' last -in the-nation concealed carry ban is unconstitutional, a move that would take it before the U.S. Supreme Court.
A three-judge panel of the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals struck down Illinois' ban last year and gave lawmakers until early June to legalize the concealed carry of firearms. Last month, the court declined Illinois' request to reconsider the ruling.

Concealed carry fails in Illinois House
April 18, 2013 (SPRINGFIELD, Ill.) -- Gun rights advocates fell silent in the Illinois House on Thursday night after falling seven votes short of approving the public possession of firearms in the state despite a federal court order that gives lawmakers just weeks to put such a law on the books.
The proposal creating a method to permit qualified gun owners to carry concealed weapons failed 64-45. The measure needed a supermajority of 71 votes because the legislation would trump the right of the state's larger cities to set up their own laws.
For the second time in as many days, a House vote on concealed carry demonstrated the chasm between gun rights advocates and those who want tighter restrictions on them.
Illinois is the only state in the nation that continues to prohibit public weapons possession. But a federal appeals court ruled the ban unconstitutional in December and ordered lawmakers to enact a law allowing it. Rep. Brandon Phelps, D-Harrisburg, the concealed carry legislation sponsor, said if the Legislature misses the deadline, "constitutional carry" - allowing possession of any weapon without a permit - would take effect.
The title applies once again:
