Concealed Carry Ballot Referendum Results in Illinois

As the ISRA reports, 14 counties in Illinois had a non-binding CCW referendum on the ballot yesterday. The question on the ballots was generally worded like: Shall the General Assembly enact legislation to permit the carrying of concealed firearms? While non-binding, these resolutions mark an important step in the path to concealed carry in Illinois – which is one of only 2 states left without some concealed carry right.  Here are the results from those 14 Illinois counties:

Woodford – Yes 55%

Ogle – Yes 53%

Crawford – Yes 59%

Jasper – Yes 61%

Jefferson – Yes 63%

Franklin – Yes 71%

Saline – Yes 71%

Greene – Yes 63%

Union – Yes 67%

Effingham – Yes 58%

McDonough – No 55%
