In anticipation of House Bill 182 being transmitted to Governor Pat Quinn (D), anti-gun groups are mounting a campaign urging the Governor to veto this important pro-gun reform bill.HB182 would simply change the Unlawful Use of Weapons (UUW) law, adding “dwelling” and dwelling of another where a person has been invited with permission to posses a firearm, to the list of exemptions in which a law-abiding citizen is restricted from carrying a firearm. While “abode” is currently one of the exempted areas, under Illinois law, “abode” is strictly interpreted to mean only one’s actual home, and applies only to those who live there. By adding “dwelling,” the exemption is expanded to allow for situations such as visiting a family member’s home, going target shooting at a friend’s farm, or having a gun for personal protection within a hotel room.
Please contact Governor Quinn TODAY and respectfully urge him to sign this critical reform. To contact the Governor, please call 312-814-2121 or click here to send email.
