I understand when Pa passed shall issue license to carry legislation that Philadelphia was allowed to remain may issue. I also understand that it was changed to shall issue at some time. When did this happen? I assume it was done so that LTC legislation could get passed for the state.

I am in Illinois and belong to www.Illinoiscarry.com. We are trying to get LTC passed in Illinois. The big problem is opposition from Chicago area legislators. There aren't enough votes to pass preemption in a LTC bill even with a Republican governor who promises to sign a LTC bill. Hopefully this November Republican Bill Brady will win the governors post.

I'm thinking some kind of may issue exemption for Chicago might get LTC through for the rest of the state.
