  1. the 5 year issue Foid card was good for private sales. the 10 year issue the ATF said not good.?

     

    Originally, Illinois issued FOID for 5 years. They were considered good in lieu of a Brady check for FFL transfers.

     

    When Illinois changed them to 10 years, the ATF backed off that and started requiring a check at point of sale.

  2. My understanding was that you could carry in a parking lot even if it's posted as long as you're in close proximity to your vehicle for the purpose of securing it in the trunk for example.

     

    For the purpose of securing in the trunk is the *only* reason you can step out of the car in a prohibited zone while carrying.

     

    Personally, I secure in the main vehicle compartment, in a security box secured to the frame of the car - but that’s just me.

  3. (13) Any public park, athletic area, or athletic facility under the control of a municipality or park district...

     

    Comlara Park is just North of Bloomington/Normal and under the control of the McLean County Department of Parks and Recreation. Since McLean County isn't a "municipality", I wondered if its Parks and Rec Dept be classified as a "park district"? Should carry be permissible there as it is in a State Park? I haven't been there for some time and don't know if anything there is posted.

     

    I would think that “McLean County Department of Parks and Recreation” is a “Park District” within the meaning of the Law.

  4.  

    Would be nice if Congress would pass a Law like our Driver license were if your state had CCW you could carry in any stated

     

     

    Such a law did pass Congress but got stuck in Senate. Now that we have a Republican senate it may get through there only to die in the White House, I bet it gets added to some funding bill that is more important than this and gets signed into law in the next two years.

     

    At least we can all hope :-)

    That one expired when the 112th session of congress expired. New version for the 113rd congress has not yet passed the house... and is stuck in committee.

  5. Back to Drake. Scotusblog has a very encouraging post up today. They note that all cert grants from the past several conferences had all been relisted. They speculate that a relist may indicate a provisional acceptance, an opportunity for one last review pending cert.

     

    Certainly no guarantee, but that's another angle to look at this as we wait for Monday.

     

    Sorry for not linking, can't figure out how on tapatalk.

    This is indeed the theory, after 3 cert grants were reversed as improperly granted.... They want to be sure I think.

     

  6. I thought there was a chance we might hear something yesterday, but no dice.

     

    The suspense resumes on Monday.

    Petitions get (privately) discussed by the Justices and a decision is made on Fridays (during their conferences), and the decisions made at conference are released the following Monday. SCOTUSblog will live blog the opinions being read.

     

    Not all petitions on the docket for a conference actually get decisions though - some get relisted for future conferences, often if more info is sought.

     

    Rarely, the court publishes a decision while the conference is going on. This is very rare though......

  7. Oh wow and I thought Gura's briefs were in-your-face. CATO basically told SCOTUS to put its money where its mouth is and hear the case.

    They did indeed - more that once in their brief. I also love how they call out the responds brief with 'FALSE' in response to their claim of a precedent, when they actually quoted dissent.
