Gov. Pat Quinn speaks to the media on Friday outside Wrigley Field, standing with the many bars and restaurants of Chicago's Wrigleyville neighborhood as a backdrop. Quinn visited one of Illinois' most popular entertainment districts to press his message that guns and alcohol are a "toxic mix." Earlier this week the governor used his amendatory veto to send a measure that would allow the concealed carry of firearms back to lawmakers with several changes. Among them is a ban on guns in any establishment that serves alcohol. Currently, the legislation bars guns only from restaurants whose liquor sales account for 50 percent or more of gross sales. Lawmakers will meet Tuesday to try to override Quinn's veto.
