As the 2011 legislative session continues in Springfield, a number of firearm-related bills have recently been considered. Only one pro-gun bill of note though âHouse Bill 148- has been on the move. This bill to establish a Right-to-Carry permit system recently passed out of committee and action is expected on the House floor in the near future. The House has also taken action on five anti-gun bills, including legislation to ban standard size magazines, as well as a bill to ban private firearm transfers. For more information on all of the bills expected to be considered in the House, please click here. In the meantime, please be sure to contact your state Representative and urge him or her to support HB 148, and oppose HB 203, HB 1296, and HB 1461.
