State Representative David Reis (R-Ste. Marie) on Tuesday was appointed to serve on the Firearm Public Awareness Task Force.
“As a strong supporter of Second Amendment rights, I believe the Task Force shall serve as a stepping stone to enact concealed carry into law,” said Reis. “The information gathered will clearly demonstrate the positives concealed carry offers residents and communities throughout Illinois.”
The 23-member Task Force created under House Resolution 550 shall study the experiences of states permitting citizens to carry concealed firearms. The Task Force shall also study what steps are necessary to ensure public safety should Illinois enact a concealed carry law.
“Enacting concealed carry into law remains one of my top priorities in office,” said Reis. “As a member of the Task Force, I will be an outspoken leader for concealed carry and debate any member on the importance of preserving our Second Amendment rights.”
