Let's see where this goes

Pike County, IL has passed a law allowing concealed carry by the subjects citizens. The measure was not voted on by elected officials, but by the people of the county.

Oddly enough (or not), voter turnout was one of the largest in county history, and the measure passed by a vote margin of 3214 to 550.

From those numbers, I don't know which is more shocking: that the margin was so overwhelming, or that 15% of the voters in Pike County are against our 2nd Amendment rights. 

Now, let's see if the State of IL allows this to stand. If so, lets see if they get more and more carry permits, and eventually join the other 49 states in allowing citizen permitted carry.
