Board skirts concealed-carry law, drafts bill to fix issues twill
The Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board sought an opinion from the attorney general on its authority to expand permission for concealed carry to former sheriff's correctional officers and state prison guards as prescribed by a law that took effect Jan. 1. But Attorney General Kwame Raoul's office declined in part because it expects lawsuits over the board's unwillingness to administer the expanded program.
Although he was unfamiliar with the specifics, Gov. J.B. Pritzker also said this month that"any law on the books should be complied with." His office said Monday that he would sign a proposal allowing the board to issue the necessary permits as soon as possible. "Some of them might need to get more training than they've had to be able to carry a concealed weapon, under the circumstance that they're going to intervene in a situation when they're off duty, or they're retired," Smoot said.
