Gun owners rally for Concealed Carry at Illinois Capitol (Video)

The State Journal Register reports:
A wave of yellow is poised to wash over the Capitol this afternoon during the Illinois Gun Owner Lobby Day.

“It’s a gathering of gun owners in the state of Illinois to speak to their legislators one on one about the Second Amendment rights,” Illinois State Rifle Association president Donald Moran said.

“We’ll flood the Capitol, and everyone will be wearing yellow shirts and yellow caps, so they’ll know who we are.”

Between 8,000 and 10,000 gun owners from across the state were expected to show up at the Prairie Capital Convention Center to march on the Statehouse, Moran said
