  1. Friends, in light of the recent decision by the US 7th District Circuit Court of Appeals it is not the time for compromise with regards to our 2nd amendment right to carry. The Court has set a timer of 180 days until the district courts shall enjoin Illinois from enforcing its Big Brother styled laws on carrying firearms by the People of this state. We are now in a position to propose the BEST possible laws to protect our rights. If the legislature does not decide to agree, then none of the restrictions the court has struck down will apply. No restaurant ban, no gated areas of amusement parks would be banned, no private or public setting except as otherwise set out in Federal or uncontested state laws would exist. Our laws would not have a provision to allow any organization to ban the constitutional carrying of a firearm by the holder of a valid FOID card. In this light I would urge us to choose the best and most favorable laws from among the 50 states as our model. Don’t fall for a compromise offered by those who would, if not for the courts, continue to laude over you with unconstitutional laws. Now is the time to seek justice for the people without compromise. I'd urge you not to roll over on this issue. The enemy is now disarmed, but only one bad law away from regaining the upper hand! Thanks for reading. Your thoughts are welcome.
  2. Me thinks it's not moot as many other questions the court had are not answeered fully by the new ordinance (at least the versions I saw)... not to mention the infringing level of the fees, etc. etc.
  3. Try this: http://saf.org/legal.action/chicago2.lawsuit/ezelldecision.pdf IS THIS WHAT THE COURTS ORDERED CHICAGO TO DO? Almost... It's what the Appellate Court orders the District Court to tell Chicago to do... IMO The injunction instructions to the district court (pg 48/49 especially) are soooo broad they won't make the case moot even if Chicago thinks so. Effectively the court told the district court that ANYTHING that affects the ability to qualify to own a gun [listing a bunch of sections] is to be enjoined and is probably unconstitutional... I luv it. And as it is our district it is BINDING on Illinois!
  4. OMG! OMG! on page 48/49 of the decision the court states: It sounds like they basically said that the WHOLE ordinance is unconstitutional and they should be enjoined from enforcing ANY of it!! nice.
