That's not true at all. Multiple malls employ gun sniffing dogs. Stop and frisk is a real thing in Chicago. Chicago cops, in some districts, will routinely disarm concealed carriers for the duration of traffic stops. The whole idea that "concealed means concealed" is fictional.

We are hosting our "Proving Grounds" class, a Force on Force training class at the ASC next week. Learn more or signup: https://www.alphakoncepts.com/force-on-force-training-chicago/ Force on Force is the most realistic practice that anyone can get to prove their skills. You’ll discover quickly the stress induced in a life-and-death event and learn how you’ll really react. This is your chance to prove to yourself what you think you know! If you are the kind of person who trains in the Defensive use of firearms, there is no other way to put it, force on force training will be the very best defensive firearm training you can get. Force on Force training places you in real life situations to force stress and dispel internet nonsense. If you take your defensive firearm skills seriously, force on force is the proving grounds for your defensive shooting skills. What is Force on Force? Most firearm training is Force on Target training, meaning the shooter is using force against a target. The target may be static or dynamic, but it’s not shooting back. Force on force training employs at least two role players to use force against each other. In short, I’m shooting at you and you are shooting back at me, only we are using specifically modified firearms that use non-lethal ammunition.

I carry an EPS w/ 6 MOA. I prefer enclosed optics. 6 MOA is not huge and is standard for defensive optics, which the EPS is designed for. You want fast target acquisition at closer distances for defensive shooting.

Losing time is no longer the case. This was fixed, but used to be true.

Apply 180 days before expiration to 60 days in my opinion. However, so long as you apply for renewal before you expire, you're technically not expired. This state is jacked up so just jump on it ASAP. You need a 3-hour class. I have weekday and weekend CCL renewal classes in Park Ridge: https://www.alphakoncepts.com/concealed-carry-license-renewal-class/

that's the docket for the appeals court. As it was remanded, I am looking for the info on the district level.

I was gonna reply the same.

Dec 11 Enbanc hearing denied for TRO. Perhaps we will have the new schedule next month since the previous dates were held pending the appellate decision.

August 28th... III. Conclusion For the foregoing reasons, Plaintiff’s Motion for an Extension of Time (Doc. 105) is GRANTED, Plaintiff’s Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment (Doc. 95) is DENIED, and Defendants’ Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment (Doc. 101) is GRANTED. The Clerk of the Court is DIRECTED to enter judgment for Defendants and against Plaintiff. SO ORDERED. JUDGMENT IN A CIVIL ACTION DUGAN, District Judge: IT IS ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that pursuant to the Order entered on August 28, 2023 (Doc. 116), Judgment is entered in favor of Defendants Hacker and Yenchko and against Plaintiff Rogers. Pursuant to the Amended Complaint filed November 24, 2020, Defendant Wells was terminated from this action. Accordingly, the case is closed. IT IS SO ORDERED.

Where can I find more info about this case in district court?

While I don't disagree with your assessment, that's not the reason why I expected this outcome. It is INCREDIBLY rare for SCOTUS to get involved until the case is completely litigated. This request for an emergency injunction was a hail-mary pass at best. However, the litigation process isn't over. The case isn't dead.

Kinda what I expected to be honest.

Take democrats out of the equation for a second. I am quite positive, certain in fact, that the civilian disarmament movement has been around much longer than the democrat party. I am quite certain that for all of history tyrants have preferred their populace to be disarmed. I say that to say this: This war will never end.

Thinking about the "inclined to not enjoin" comment overnight... I'm glad the judge is on record making that statement. It signals to SCOTUS that if they intend to put a hold on this law pending final court decisions, they'll need to do it because at this point it leaves nobody else. So, our rights are once again in the hands of SCOTUS. FWIW I think there is a less than 1% chance SCOTUS blocks this before Jan 1st.

I've often said, the longer it takes the judges to rule, the usually it goes in our favor as they'll delay as long as possible. Regardless, if we look back at any of the landmark cases, they percolate through the courts over a period of several years. Take, for example, the recent Solomon ruling re cook county forest preserves. Solomon was arrested in 2017 iirc and the courts didn't make a final ruling until 2021 and it was allowed to be enforced for another 6 months after the district court decision. NYSRPA v Bruen was originally filed in 2018 and finally settled in 2022.
