The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that Illinois can not constitutional prevent it's residents from BEARING arms. Illinois and Washington D.C. are the only states that have absolutely refused to issue carry permits to residents outside the occupation of law enforcement.
Unfortunately, the court is giving the state 180 days to write less-restrictive laws regarding the carry of firearms, so there will be no (legal) concealed or open carry for at least another 6 months.

Now, I would like to see NJ, MD, CA, and Mass. be forced to actually issue permits, without requiring "good reason" for citizens in good standing to exercise their constitutional rights. Still lots of work to do on Washington D.C. gun laws.
UPDATE, 6/1/13: Illinois Will Get Concealed Carry, but. . .
