BLOOMINGTON- State Senator Jason Barickman (R-Bloomington) released the following statement Friday following a Supreme Court ruling on the right to carry:

"The Supreme Court gave the Attorney General more time to appeal the Appellate Court Right-to-Carry ruling. However, the Court did not change the original June 9 deadline for Illinois to join 49 other states and enact legislation giving law abiding citizens the right to carry. I will continue to work with my colleagues to enact a meaningful, fair, and safe Right-to-Carry bill."
