  1. Very interesting reading in this thread. Not many people would advocate not complying with state law on a public forum, so by default we are left with comments aimed to encourage compliance. There are doubtless many registerable items in the hand of non-FOID holders that are in the real denominator of compliance percentages. When this act was passed I considered it to be penalty enhancements for people committing crimes with banned items, sort of like how FOID is used. When someone commits a crime they charge them with everything possible and use that to make a deal. So now instead of a felon with no FOID robbing someone with a Glock that has a switch, they will be able to add the extendo clip and the threaded barrel under PICA to the pile of charges. Instead of giving them 10 weeks, maybe they will get 12 weeks!

  3. This order applies to Tom Devore's consolidated cases: 2023-MR-4 (Plaintiff Accuracy Firearms, et. al) Consolidated by Order of the Illinois Supreme Court with 2023-MR-1 from White County (Plaintiffs Bailey et al) and 2023-MR-7 from Effingham County (Plaintiffs Barclay et al)
  4. He will file a motion to reconsider, and if necessary, appeal it. Caulkins did not argue the case, and the arguments deserve to be heard.

  6. I noticed this in a recent CWB article on the 40 teens arrested Sunday evening during the "teen trend" (formerly known as "wilding"): CPD said 30 juveniles between 12 and 17 years old were charged with reckless conduct. In addition, police said: a 17-year-old boy is charged with felony unlawful use of a machine gun, possession of a high-capacity magazine, and a curfew violation a 15-year-old is charged with felony unlawful use of a weapon as well as disorderly conduct and possession of a laser sight a 16-year-old girl was charged with unlawful use of a weapon and reckless conduct causing bodily harm etc....
  7. This woman is allegedly a "concealed carry holder" - horrible story. https://cwbchicago.com/2023/06/woman-encouraged-son-shooting-maxwell-restaurant-chicago.html
  8. The only reason M16s are unusual in the civilian world is the NFA. As of now machine guns are for the wealthy only, if you could buy them like LE can they would be common. As for it being "uncommon" for AR15s to be used in self defense that cannot be judged by the number of people shot - the vast majority of defensive weapons are never used to shoot anyone. But look at police - they carry AR15 patrol rifles all over the place, but when they shoot people it's usually with a handgun.
  9. Not a lawyer, but as I understand it courts cannot strike down laws - they can only decide that the court will not enforce a law. The law is still on the books.
  10. I guess anyone with legal questions about their own situation can ask their lawyer. If you haven't hired one you can always take the advice of anonymous people on the internet.
  11. Mr. Devore has posted a video on this twitter feed that explains his misgivings about the organization named as a plaintiff in the Caulkins case. Seems very reasonable to me. So far, one of the supposed advantages claimed by Rep. Caulkins - anonymity for members of the organization - has not panned out with the publication of Exhibit A.
  12. Ugly Mike's in McHenry also closed because of the licensing law. Mike always offered a fair deal and it's a darn shame.
