A local lawmaker says he’s still working on the precise language for the changes he wants to make to state law and the state constitution to strengthen gun rights.
Appearing live on 970 WMAY’s “Jim Leach Show,” State Senator Sam McCann says he wants to amend the Illinois Constitution to ensure that the Second Amendment rights guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution cannot be diminished in state law.
McCann also plans to introduce legislation for what he calls “constitutional carry,” which would loosen limits on carrying firearms. He says that could be defined in several ways, but expects his proposal would allow people to carry a weapon without a permit or background check… although a background check would still be required to purchase a gun.
