Major change in Illinois gun laws passes

In a dramatic override of Governor Blagojevich's veto, Illinois house members easily overrode his veto of a bill that protects Illinoisians who violate local gun ban ordinances from prosecution when they use a gun defensively by and 85 to 30 vote. "The bill's supporters saw it as a statement of support for the basic concept that people should be able to defend themselves in their own homes. Opponents viewed it as an attempt to undercut local gun laws."
