What was the disposition of the case? I don't care what you heard from your wife's third cousin's friend who is a cop unless of course your wife's third cousin's friend who is a cop documented it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patriots & Tyrants Posted March 8, 2018 at 05:40 PM Share Posted March 8, 2018 at 05:40 PM Trying to find the story; man was caught carrying(had a CC permit) while at a pro-Israeli protest in Chicago. It was about 2013 or 2014 and was discussed here on IC as well as reported in the news. If memory serves he was waving a big Israeli flag when they arrested him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special rules for super citizens... The reason given the charges were dropped was because the Woodstock Post Office was not properly posted. I would assume this means not properly posted under federal code, as there is no requirement to post the Illinois sign. I will remember this next time I go to the Post Office, as this reinforces the must post to be prosecutable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The posting requirement, 65(d), applies to all of section 65, including post offices, which fall under 65(a23). The only exception is private residences.

vactor Posted March 12, 2018 at 03:04 AM Share Posted March 12, 2018 at 03:04 AM undercover officers saw something that raised suspicion. paper bag. asked for ID and did name check. bag had nothing, name check clear, but with CCL. asked if they were carrying and they said yes. arrested. eventually secured a not guilty, but person lost their job, lost their apartment. hassle and pressure and anxiety related to uncertain outcome of prosecution. eventual not guilty. cops were nice, but it's just law enforcement to CPD. they do not care about consequences. instead of turning the certified card carrying good-guy into a life long police ally with a good story of discretion to tell, i doubt he will EVER talk to the police to help them on ANYTHING in the future, as well as them telling their friends.

How would he lose his job and home over a misdemeanor charge? (e) Except as otherwise provided, a licensee in violation of this Act shall be guilty of a Class B misdemeanor. A second or subsequent violation is a Class A misdemeanor. The Department may suspend a license for up to 6 months for a second violation and shall permanently revoke a license for 3 or more violations of Section 65 of this Act.

InterestedBystander Posted March 12, 2018 at 04:01 PM Share Posted March 12, 2018 at 04:01 PM How would he lose his job and home over a misdemeanor charge?Corporate america policies, losing time off work, losing income that pays lease, mandated clauses in a lease, etc... Some companies require as employment condition to notify HR with almost anything beyond a traffic stop incident. If taking too much time off to fight that could put job at risk...and then with reduced income for housing... Some munis require a crime free housing amendment and I could see a non 2A friendly landlord try invoking some broad clauses in there to evict a tenant. There could aso be other conditions inserted asva rider by lessor. So theorizing, while perhaps not the norm I'd say it is possible to put job and home at risk.

brobits Posted March 12, 2018 at 07:26 PM Share Posted March 12, 2018 at 07:26 PM How would he lose his job and home over a misdemeanor charge? pretty simple I think, IL is an at-will employment state. the employer can dream up just about anything to justify termination. you would have to prove you were terminated unlawfully, the burden is on the employee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vito Posted March 13, 2018 at 01:55 PM Share Posted March 13, 2018 at 01:55 PM Dropped a gun while at the post office? What is a "post office"? Seriously, do people still go to the Post Office? I'd bet it has been at least a dozen years since I walked into a Post Office. If I need postal type services I go to a UPS and Mail Store, which is NOT posted and which does not ask me to give up my personal protection rights. Plus they are helpful, not rude and don't turn you away after waiting in line a half hour because the employee is taking his "break". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tricolor Posted March 13, 2018 at 04:19 PM Share Posted March 13, 2018 at 04:19 PM There have been several cases in Chicago at O'hare, and some other prohibited places. A FOIA request to CPD should provide the specific numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soylentgreen Posted March 13, 2018 at 05:46 PM Share Posted March 13, 2018 at 05:46 PM I thought the rally had a permit, in which case it's one of those situations covered in the carry act. My understanding is that the permitted event must still post. If they don't, no one but the people directly involved with applying for the permit would reasonably know that there was a permit to begin with.
