  1. Pursuant to the gun control act, you become eligible to purchase a firearm upon the surrender of your MMJ card or after one year of abstinence, which ever comes later.  Don't know how you would prove you didn't use if you had a valid card.  My understanding is that dispensaries also keep track of purchases (I don't know for sure, I don't use the stuff) so don't get caught lying under oath.  Sounds like you will probably have to wait one year from the time your card expires.

    Thanks. My concern is that non gun owning family who might admin my estate/trust down the road don't do something that might get them into trouble, like putting them in their trunk, driving around, getting pulled over and them telling the LEO there are firearms in the trunk. . I imagine in the will I could put language along the lines of "Leave them where they are. Contact Person X who will assist you in valuation, transport & sale" or something to that effect. Likely I'm over thinking it.

     

    Do not put this into your will.  Leave a separate letter for your executor that has no legal effect and will not be a matter of public record.  In it you can express guidance, concerns, potential pitfalls, your opinion of Joe Biden,  etc.  Putting specific things into your will handcuffs the executor.  In this example, what if Person X is dead, incompetent, or refuses to deal with the issue?  It is then going to take a court hearing and order to get this changed.

    I'll add that the case was filed in the Federal District of Northern Illinois, so that's where the jury would be sourced. Northern Illinois is divided onto two divisions.

     

    The eastern division includes Cook, DuPage, McHenry, Grundy, Kane, Kendall, La Salle, Lake, and Will counties.

     

    The western division includes Boone, Carroll, DeKalb, Jo Daviess, Lee, Ogle, Stephenson, Whiteside, and Winnebago counties.

     

    Cook, DeKalb, DuPage, and Lake counties are called out specifically in the complaint. I'm not sure if one county in the west, while the rest are in the east, was by design or fortune. I'm also not sure how the jury pool would be apportioned among those counties in the jurisdiction. Obviously Cook is the most populous.

     

    It could be fun if the jury would come from northern counties EXCEPT those four, just to be fair, but I don't know how the federal courts would work that.

     

     

    Maybe they know they won't win on the law, so they're just playing the game that gives them better odds than 0%. I can only speculate.

    McHenry county is in the Western Division.
