The Illinois Attorney General is trying to salvage the state's ban on concealed carry.
Lisa Madigan says she's filed a petition, asking that all 10 judges on the US Court of Appeals, review a lawsuit challenging the ban.
Last month, a three-judge panel struck down the ban on carrying concealed weapons in Illinois, the only remaining state where doing so is entirely illegal. They gave lawmakers 180 days to write a law legalizing it.
