When this comes in, it won't be a new post. It'll be 10 new pages of posts no matter how it gets decided.

There is an RSS feed link on the right side of that page, i have it right in my bookmarks toolbar, so I can click [every 5 minutes ;) ] and see if anything has happened yet.

Since ours was one of the last cases heard, would it stand to reason that it's also one of the last cases they rule on? So my money is on the ruling coming in on Aug 8th exactly.

Im trying to figure out where he was trying to go with the guns in bars thing. how do you think that would be written in an opinion

I thought that was more about Posner hoping the get an admission from Gura that some interest balancing might be acceptable, than about bars per se.  I'm glad Gura stood his ground even if it did get awkward.

And don't forget, 10 more pages on how to 'lawfully' conceal carry your firearm, throughout various cities in IL!

I think it was Posner trying to be a super legislator. Remember he asked what advise they should give the legislature.

I think a good answer would have been,:

Your honor, Illinois has a seperate statute about possessing a gun in a bar and we are not here to challenge that. What you ask about sounds more like a regulation than the total prohibition we are seekign to overturn here today. If the law is found unconsitututional and the legislature were to pass a carry law, there will be time enough to deicide of they have colored inside or outside of the lines of the Second Amendment, but that is not before today.
While a 9 mm or .40 caliber bullet may or may not expand, it is an undeniable fact that a .45 caliber bullet will never shrink.

While hindsight is always 20/20, this is a perfect response. However, I will say that whole transaction was definitely ackward and I would have thought Gura would have been prepared for a boundry question, and be ready to rein back the discussion as suggested above.  Hopefully he doesn't fall into that trap again if this thing get bounced anywhere else.

I think that the judges' questions also give us a heads up of how much releif we can expect from the courts

We're not going to get relief from the courts from things like location bans - schools, bars, universities, and probably a lot of other onerous restrictions.

I get email updates from certain threads.  I didn't even notice which thread this was before I responded, which is MY bad.  I need to keep it on topic.

Anyone else check the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals every day like I do?  Sometimes 3-4 times a day?   It's kinda pathetic that we have to wait for our Constitutional rights with baited breath.

Yes, I do. It replaces my compulsive behavior of checking for updates on Moore & Shepard at District Court level,  and checking HB148 and HB5745 on ilga.gov.

Borgranta's  post was moved to the proper topic discussing the UN Treaty.  Some of the responding  posts went with it.

Any day now... Posner released 3 opinions today orals were around the same time as Moore. Flaum released some this week too. Good chance this gets written by Williams IMHO. Which means it would have a pro women slant. /speculation
Stung by the result of McDonald v. City of Chicago, 130 S. Ct. 3020 (2010), the City quickly enacted an ordinance that was too clever by half. Recognizing that a complete gun ban would no longer survive Supreme Court review, the City required all gun owners to obtain training that included one hour of live‐range instruction, and then banned all live ranges within City limits. This was not so much a nod to the importance of live‐range training as it was a thumbing of the municipal nose at the Supreme Court.

I'm still banking on waiting until the 8th, prove me wrong, but I think we're gonna have to wait sometime.

The pro women slant will encourage the feminists to fight for their 2nd amendment right to self defense  since it will need to be instituted by the legislature
The 2nd amendment was intended not only for protecting against tyranny but also enforcing and protecting the rule of law and the sovereignty of the states and the country as a whole which could include repelling invasions.  If the citizens were not disarmed in New Orleans after Katrina than the lawlessnes would have been either reduced or eliminated.

borg,

When posting about actual events, it is important to also post links to verify the facts. I can find no news accounts that this actually happened.

Not going to happen. The organized feminist movement takes it's orders from the Democrat's chain of command.

WELL, it is Friday. And most controversial decisions  are made on a Friday. We call it the dump and run !!    :frantics:
