A week before the federal deadline to enact a concealed carry law in Illinois, Gov. Pat Quinn on Tuesday vetoed the bill and made a number of changes to it, likely forcing a two-day emergency meeting of the General Assembly next week.

Quinn used his gubernatorial power to alter the proposed law and add more restrictions to it than what lawmakers approved in May.

Quinn's version will ban guns from any establishments that serve alcohol, restrict the number of rounds a pistol can shoot before it needs to be reloaded, and will give business owners more power to regulate guns on their property.

The sponsor of the bill already has asked for an override vote.

Locally, legislators slammed Quinn's action as undermining a compromise bill and being politically motivated.

Here is what they said:

• "We have known that the governor historically is not a supporter of the Second Amendment," said state Sen. Jason Barickman, R-Champaign. "And given that he's facing a primary election next year, he made the calculated decision that he needed to make a strong political statement on this legislation."

•"Gov. Quinn just thumbed his nose at the United States 7th Circuit Court of Appeals and every legislator in the General Assembly that worked hard to come up with a compromise bill," said state Rep. Josh Harms, R-Wasteka. "House bill 183 was a compromise bill and it passed overwhelmingly by both Republicans and Democrats and even had several Chicago Democrats voting yes. This is just one more example of our governor playing politics instead of governing."

• "I feel like we worked with Chicago-area legislators," said state Sen. Sue Rezin, R-Morris. "That's where we're getting the most push back. We had a good bill."

•"Today the governor decided to completely rewrite legislation that was passed overwhelmingly by both Democrats and Republicans," said state Rep. Pam Roth, R-Morris. "When you get Chicago Democrats and downstate Republicans agreeing on a firearms bill, it is probably a decent compromise. However, the governor decided to kick off his re-election campaign today by trashing the hard work of the General Assembly."
