I think we have to respect the fact that not everyone will agree with open carry. But, we can also expect that disagreement to be voiced with respect. A post that didn't meet that expectation has been removed.

I have places I hang my hat in Bourbonnais, IL Palos Hills, IL and Crown Point, IN.

The bar looks like it's set pretty HIGH. Not sure if a citizen without military or LE can participate as an instructor? In the NRA application to be an instructor they have boxes for rifle and select fire. In Illinoisistan you probably can't get either of those as the rifle portion is banned for non LE or current military, then there is the "select fire"issue. https://le.nra.org/law-enforcement-training/instructor-certification/ https://le.nra.org/media/7746/recert-renewal_application.pdf

Some people still suffering from TDS and now it RDS (Republican Derangement Syndrome).

Ha, it will be moot.

They are catching flack! Now would be the time to pile on and make voices heard, the GOP needs to know how you feel about them striping things like this and HIDING BEHIND THE PARLIAMENTARIAN! https://www.zerohedge.com/political/house-gop-faces-rebellion-johnson-scrambles-salvage-trump-tax-bill

When will this madness end. Even POTUS says he is for medicinal.

On June 27 (and after), the ATF missed its deadline to file a petition. It also has not asked for another extension. Mark Smith is reporting that it means that ATF has decided to let the 5th Circuit decision (that 18-20-year-olds can buy handguns) stand. I haven't found any DOJ/ATF sources saying as much. Meanwhile, in Brown v ATF and its twin, McCoy v ATF, which also regard handgun purchase by 18-20-year-olds, the 3rd Circuit found that the purchase ban is constitutional. I expect Brown or McCoy (or both) to petition the Supreme Court for certiorari. Those cases were/are sponsored by SAF and NSSF.

The person transferring the firearm (your wife) doesn't need a verified FOID. The person receiving the firearm (you) does. Also, you're not becoming the owner of the firearm. You're only taking it into your custody and control for the duration of whatever is going on. Just fill out the Firearm Disposition Form, and put the firearms (hers and yours) somewhere she can't get them (perhaps in a safe whose combination she doesn't know).

On June 26, Paris met the deadline to file a petition. On June 30, the Court assigned a docket number.

I believe the idea of "not later than 14 days before" is that any such waiver should not delay oral arguments.

If even then.

Yeah, they made a movie about this many years ago. It was called "The Never Ending Story".

IIRC the compromise on the Hughes Amendment was that the gun companies had immunity from this gibberish......if that's the case then its time we get to pay the tax not a tax for a giggle switch.

On June 25, the appellate court scheduled oral arguments for August 4.

On June 26, the circuit court scheduled oral arguments for September 12.

On June 25 in appellate court, meanwhile, the court continued the stay. The court ordered that parties update it at 60-day intervals regarding whether to continue the stay.

On June 16, the judge set the following schedule: 7/7: response to motion to dismiss is due 7/14: reply is due 8/26: status hearing

On June 16, parties filed their joint status report as scheduled. On June 17, the court reminded parties that they are to file a status report on July 9 regarding whether they consider settlement to be an option. I predict "No."

That's awesome! Great to see!

The petition has been scheduled for conference in September.

On June 24, the Court granted the extension.

On June 23, the Court granted the extension.

On June 25, the US again asked to extend the deadline to respond. On June 26, the Court extended the deadline from July 11 to August 11.

The petition has been scheduled for conference in September.
