Illinois has become the last state in the US to allow residents to carry concealed¹ handguns, after lawmakers overrode² the governor's veto.

伊利诺伊州立法委员推翻了州长的否决，成为美国最后一个允许居民非公开携带枪支的州。

Large majorities in the state House and Senate dismissed objections by Democratic Governor Pat Quinn.

The state had been under court order to adopt a concealed carry law.

The debate over gun rights in the US has raged since December, when a gunman killed 26 people, including 20 children, at a school in Connecticut.

Gun rights proponents³ say the US constitution protects an individual's right to carry guns, while opponents of the concealed carry law feared it would allow virtually unregulated possession of handguns in the city of Chicago, which is grappling with a severe gun violence epidemic⁴.

In December, a federal appeals court struck down Illinois' ban on carrying a concealed weapon as a violation⁵ of the US constitution's guarantee of the right to bear arms. The court gave the state six months to write a law legalising it.

Mr Quinn vigorously opposed a concealed carry law, but the Supreme⁶ Court refused to hear an appeal.

In May, the state legislature passed a bill despite his objections. He vetoed the bill, suggesting restrictions⁷ on concealed weapons that would satisfy him.
