QUINCY, ILL. -- UPDATED: June 13 at 7 a.m.

Adams County voters will have the chance to speak out on concealed carry.

According to our news gathering partners at WTAD, the Adams County Board approved a resolution to put a concealed carry resolution on the November ballot.

No matter which way voters go, the vote won't change any laws, it just merely shows lawmakers voter support for concealed weapons.

A similar referendum passed in Pike County in March.

Illinois is the only state that does not have any kind of conceal carry law on the books.

ORIGINAL STORY: May 15 at 4 p.m.

The Adams County Board is considering a resolution to put the issue of concealed carry on the November ballot.

If approved, the measure would be a non-binding resolution, meaning it allows voters to show their support for a concealed weapons law in Illinois, but would not make it legal to carry.
