    APPELLATE COURT OF ILLINOIS THIRD DISTRICT

    2024 IL App (3d) 210073
    Opinion filed March 1, 2024

     

    The trial court found that there was no genuine issue of
    material fact regarding the constitutionality of the statutory scheme and granted defendants’
    motion for summary judgment. Applying the text-and-history test recently advanced in New York
    State Rifle & Pistol Ass’n v. Bruen, 597 U.S. ___, ___, 142 S. Ct. 2111, 2120 (2022), we conclude
    that the public carry restrictions imposed under the UUW and the AUUW do not violate the second
    amendment and affirm.

  3. However, unlike handguns, short-barreled firearms are not “an entire class of
    ‘arms’ *** chosen by American society for [the] lawful purpose” of self-defense. See Heller 554
    U.S. at 625, 628. Short-barreled firearms are regulated precisely because they are “concealable
    weapon *** likely to be used for criminal purposes.” See United States v. Thompson/Center
    Arms Co., 504 U.S. 505, 517 (1992) (explaining that short-barreled rifles are regulated under the
    National Firearms Act (26 U.S.C. §§ 5841, 5845 (2018)) for this very reason). The sheer number
    of registered short-barreled firearms does not undercut their dangerousness or the fact that they
    are “not typically possessed by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes.”4 See Heller, 554 U.S.
    at 625, 628; see also People v. Dean, 207 Ill. App. 3d 640, 642 (1990) (noting that the UUW
    statute “provides that a person in possession of a sawed-off shotgun *** has committed a crime.
    No exceptions are allowed under this section because such weapons are considered to be
    inherently dangerous to human life”).

    Following House and Senate sessions made very short yesterday by the urgency of adopting PICA rules more than 2 weeks after the registration "deadline", JCAR did adopt those rules and the "deadline" is now retroactively an actual deadline.  Well, sort of a deadline.  The registration portal remains open so it depends on what "deadline" means and who you ask.
     

     

     

    "However, the Republican JCAR members were successful in filing a motion to object to the rules on the same grounds. ISP must respond in writing to the Committee’s objection before it can file the regulations with the Secretary of State’s Office to be adopted."  Senator Dale Fowler
