Fantastic! Thanks for the update.

https://saf.org/plaintiffs-file-brief-in-challenge-of-illinois-public-transit-carry-ban/ BELLEVUE, WA – Plaintiffs in a federal challenge of the Illinois Public Transit carry ban have filed a brief in support of their earlier motion for summary judgment in the case, which is financially supported by the Second Amendment Foundation. The case is known as Schoenthal v. Raoul and is currently in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Western Division. Plaintiffs are Benjamin Schoenthal, Mark Wroblewski, Joseph Vesel, and Douglas Winston. They are represented by attorney David G. Sigale of Lombard, Ill. The defendants are Attorney General Kwame Raoul and State’s Attorneys Rick Amato (DeKalb County), Robert Berlin (DuPage County), Kimberly M. Foxx (Cook County) and Eric Rinehart (Lake County), all in their official capacities. “As noted in the brief,” said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb, “this case asserts the Illinois Public Transportation carry ban cannot stand unless it is consistent with the historical tradition of firearms regulation at the time of the ratification of the right to keep and bear arms. It is abundantly clear the defendants can’t provide such information, and in their response, they have failed to offer any Founding-era evidence supporting the ban.” In other states with licensed concealed carry, legally-armed private citizens can utilize public transportation. Illinois, however, continues to cling to a restriction which has no historic legal foundation. It simply denies the right to bear arms arbitrarily to anyone using public transportation because of state government’s long-standing revulsion toward firearms and the Second Amendment, Gottlieb said. “This ban clearly violates the Second Amendment,” he observed, “which the defendants should realize, since the Second Amendment was incorporated to the states via the 14th Amendment in a case they’re all familiar with, McDonald v. City of Chicago. SAF won that case at the Supreme Court in 2010, nullifying Chicago’s handgun ban.”

The DUI was for driving under the influence of a controlled substance, correct? There is a one-year federal prohibition for possessing firearms. I'm not sure how that works with a deferred judgment probation though. It's possible the prohibition lasts for the duration of the probation. Also, what level of risk assessment did you receive? It's possible if you received a high-risk level assessment and the court order included mandatory counseling/treatment, then you would fall under that prohibitor as well. You will need to ask an attorney to look at your probabation.

Thank you, Fred!

I messaged you via email.

1. It looks like the slides for segment on FOID and the segment on Intro to Carry Law have been updated with some changes. However, the PICA changes in law have not been incorporated in the instructor manual or slides because it would have been a huge undertaking that we do not expect to withstand the court challenges. They remain as a standalone addition. 2. Some instructors use the slides, some do not. I do not use the slides for this segment for the same reason. I instruct from the instructor manual and take questions to break up the monotony - good snacks help too! Students are invited to bring snacks. 3. The intent of the comment is to introduce legislative intent expressed by the Chief Sponsor during bill debate on the floor of the House.

The ccl review board will either overrule the objection and isp will issue the license. Or They will send you a letter stating which agency objected and why, along with a request for your side of the story. At that point they will either overrule the objection or have the license issued. If the board requests a response from you, there is a topic in the forums with some helpful advice.

So glad this has finally been resolved for you. So sorry it has taken them so long...

Are you talking about the address history for ccl?

Fantastic!
