Gun advocates: Lawmakers must pass concealed-carry

The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday rejected Illinois' request to reconsider a ruling that the state's concealed carry ban is unconstitutional.
A three-judge panel in December gave lawmakers until June 8 to approve a new law. State Attorney General Lisa Madigan had asked the entire court to consider the case.
