Federal Farmer Posted August 5, 2011 at 09:39 PM Author Share Posted August 5, 2011 at 09:39 PM Victory! The nutshell is that SKS rifles, in their original configuration, are registerable. Just wondering, but what about a SKS w/bayonet?Wouldn't Cook Co. ban still cover that, or would Chicago's home rule trump it? Yes, bayonet is allowed. And Cook Cty ban does not apply to Chicago due to home rule, as you suggest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pecker Posted August 5, 2011 at 10:09 PM Share Posted August 5, 2011 at 10:09 PM Thats great! now how about an AR with a california bullet button! +1& Way to go FF!!! I think without question an AR platform with the silly California bullet button should be the next step in the process. Every inch in our favor is a victory...keep pushing.

mauserme Posted August 6, 2011 at 01:24 AM Share Posted August 6, 2011 at 01:24 AM I think you need to start lurking in the backs of court rooms even on cases you're not invloved in. All the Madigans and her ilk will start to get paranoid about looking foolish again when they see you. Nice job, by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UtahJarhead Posted August 6, 2011 at 04:27 AM Share Posted August 6, 2011 at 04:27 AM Just want to know that I love the work you've done, even though I don't live in your state. Anything to help keep their kind on the defensive instead of the offensive will force them to place their resources in the same place. Between people like you and the big dogs like Gura, you'll be living in the United States again after all! Great work, all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lou Posted August 6, 2011 at 12:26 PM Share Posted August 6, 2011 at 12:26 PM I love this part: The City objected to the presence of the rifles and the City witnesses declined to examine the subject rifles. City’s objection was overruled. The City witness, Officer Biggins, contends that the subject rifles have the capability of accepting a detachable magazine with a flick of a sharp object or a bullet without structural changes to the weapon. Officer Biggins testified that “the process” does not allow him to demonstrate this potential alteration to the subject weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats on the win FF. This ruling is HUGE and goes way beyond just a few SKS's since it basically allows anything to become registrable in it's original unmodified form. let SCC know what happened with the hearing, i'm sure they will have some good fun with the city attorneys and Chicago cops that were involved with this.....

Ashes Posted August 8, 2011 at 01:22 PM Share Posted August 8, 2011 at 01:22 PM I already commented on Facebook, but excellent job as always! I too may have to get an SKS. I hear they are decently accurate and ammo is cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howard Roark Posted August 11, 2011 at 02:22 AM Share Posted August 11, 2011 at 02:22 AM David Lawson's lawyer, Joel Brodsky, is going to be on nranews.com in 2 minutes from now! Post Script: Joel did a good job. Afterwards, Cam says that Chicago's laws are so bad you have to fight TO register your firearms, instead of fighting against registration.
