Northbrook Police Ready to Uphold Conceal Carry Law
"It's the law and we will comply with it," Northbrook Police Chief Charles Wernick told Patch.
There doesn't seem to be much debate about the new conceal carry law at the Northbrook Police Department.
"It's the law and we will comply with it," Northbrook Police Chief Charles Wernick told Patch.
When asked how the new law might affect Northbrook, Wernick said, "I don't know that it will."
"We'll just have to wait and see," he added. "I don't see anything happening before January."
Illinois became the last state to legalize the private, licensed carry of concealed firearms on Tuesday, with the General Assembly overriding Gov. Pat Quinn's veto before a court-ordered deadline.
