7th US Circuit Court ruling
Posted: Tue Dec 11, 2012 1:45 pm
Basically says that self-defense takes place outside the home, and is even more likely there than in the home, and that the 2nd Amendment has been ruled by SCOTUS to have a self-defense outside the home component, and therefore Illinois law against concealed carry is unconstitutional.
The court has stayed their mandate by " . . . 180 days to allow the Illinois legislature to craft a new gun law that will impose reasonable limitations . . ."
Of course it remains to be seen what Cook Country and the Emmanuel and Daley machines define as reasonable, but this is a good decision IMHO.
And it would also be interesting if the Illinois legislature failed to make it within 180 days.
