Quinn Gets More Time To Consider Concealed Carry Bill

Governor Quinn is getting an additional month to decide whether to sign the concealed carry bill sent to him last week by the Legislature.

A federal appellate court approved Attorney General Lisa Madigan's request to extend the July 9th deadline for the state to enact a concealed gun law. State law normally gives the governor 60 days to consider whether to sign a bill.

Quinn hasn't said what his plans are, but supporters say there are enough votes in both houses to override a veto.
