Perhaps the fact that one of the cases that helped sound the death toll on prohibiting CC in Illinois involved an attack in a church office…..

We looked exhaustively for the equipment that was allegedly missing and did not locate any. We can only conclude that, since we did not find any equipment that was allegedly missing that the equipment in question must not exist. Case closed… well, maybe not purple….

Notice the headline says noncompliance with FOID rules where the quoted part really says “did not comply with the requirements of the Firearm Owner’s Identification Card Act” which is noncompliance with the Law…..

Done

And the problem is the 7th might be waiting for “more direction” from SCOTUS —> result = nothing moves….

Does she have the intestinal fortitude to bring federal charges….. 18 USC § 242 This federal statute makes it a crime for anyone to willfully deprive someone of a right protected by the Constitution or U.S. law, while acting under color of law.

My understanding is Indiana residents are not eligible for non-resident Illinois CCL. That being the case, if you plan on updating your address DO NOT renew - you’d be throwing $$ away since as soon as you update address they’ll revoke your Illinois CCL.

Basically seems to be saying “I explained it with words and apparently y’all weren’t smart enough to understand it so let me do it in pictures and see if you can get it.”

Define “parking area of a polling place” My polling place is not used exclusively for polling, even on Election Day. So if I park there for one of the “other” purposes and then walk to the polling place I’m okay, right? I mean, I’m not parking in the polling place parking lot I’m parking in the “other” parking lot….

Actually, a handful of counties voted for Pritzker- the rest of Illinois voted against him.

So does it only renew on purchase or does it renew on background check? Does it only renew on action from FFL or does an inquiry on the portal also trigger renewal? Does anybody know exactly what action(s) will trigger renewal?

it’s a start….. https://apnews.com/article/illinois-corruption-trial-lawmaker-madigan-598e993948fd1a2f05a3b80a3da9eeee

IF, and it’s a big IF, you wish to continue with limits on the 2nd then: CCL should equal permit to carry and permit to purchase with no waiting period. FOID should be optional (and not required for CCL) and equal permit to purchase with no waiting period. (I.e. for those not possessing CCL). Those possessing neither CCL, nor FOID should still be allowed to purchase following background check and suitable waiting period. No permits required to possess/own.

Okay so this begs the question - does this rule the FOID requirement unconstitutional to possess within the home, or does it rule the FOID requirement unconstitutional to possess period?

Are the diversion programs free and must one have committed a crime to use them???

Even if an Illinois Rino is a logical first step to getting real Republican candidates?? it’s much easier to replace an R with an R than a D with an R…..

Ballot finally arrived a couple days ago — will go out in mail tomorrow.

That vote tally looks really suspicious….. All the signs of a sneak thru when nobody is looking… there were zero NO’s — either a YES, a NV (like they weren’t there to vote), or an Excused Absence (who wouldn’t be there). So what, did they vote while the R’s were out in Caucus or something.

Since the Illinois case already has a ruling of Unconstitutional on it perhaps the best way to get to it quickly would be for USSC to issue an interlocutory stay against any form of enforcement until such time as that ruling is overturned or all appeals are exhausted.

Hmmm, there are two polling places in my little town across the street from each other — one in a church (which isn’t statutorily prohibited and doesn’t post) and one in a government building (which is statutorily prohibited and is posted). Since voters from one cannot vote at the other, and are directed to the other in order to vote, this results in half the voters being able to carry whilst voting and the other half being forced to disarm in order to vote — is this not unequal treatment under the law?

Last firearm purchase I made (a couple of years ago) the clerk at the LGS made the comment “Hmmm, never seen where FOID and DL pictures don’t match”. My FOID and DL have had different pics for years, ever since I got the “New and Improved” Real ID DL…. That FOID even got replaced with the “New and Improved” FOID - and they used the old FOID pic so they STILL aren’t the same…. Anybody else with different pics??

Preface this by saying I have NOT read the bill. However, I would fully expect that the terminology used is likely to be “home state” which will effectively rule out non-resident permits. The only way to know for certain is to find, and read, the bill.

As this tumultuous year comes to an end I’d like to offer up a public THANK YOU and note of appreciation to Euler for the magnificent work he does on keeping us up to date on the myriad of court cases of interest here, and to Mauser for his efforts in keeping us current on the shenanigans afoot in the state houses. Gentlemen, you both deserve great credit for making IC the place to go to keep current in what’s going on in the fight for the Rights of the Second Amendment! What you both do for us, and the immense effort it takes, is sincerely appreciated! THANK YOU!

Hey Dicky, there’s a path to doing that. Have you introduced a new Constitutional Amendment to abolish the Twelfth? Why not? If you honestly (do you even know what that means?) believe the Electoral College should be eliminated why haven’t YOU introduced anything to do that? Anything at all? As usual, all you do is run your trap. All talk no action, as usual!
