FILE - In this Friday, June 22, 2012 file photo, Tesla CEO Elon Musk walks past the Tesla Model S after a news conference at the Tesla factory in Fremont, Calif. Five states are on the short list for a $5 billion factory that Tesla Motors plans to build so it can crank out batteries for a new generation of electric cars.

John Jackson, owner of Capitol City Arms Supply in Springfield, Ill., holds a handgun at his business Wednesday, July 10, 2013.

Pat Quinn's objections, shifting the focus to how to carry out the new law across the state's 102 counties. (AP Photo/Seth Perlman)
