Bill would let Illinois cities restrict gun zones
Illinois Senate sponsor Kwame Raoul proposes a plan allowing large cities to designate additional gun free places beyond state rules. Cities could call local sites sensitive places such as parks or landmarks off limits for concealed carry and a handful of officials said aimed at comfort more than necessity. NRA opposes local control and a Chicago endorsement requirement while Raoul notes few cities would create new zones and that a hearing could occur this week.
