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.

(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.

The fact that many of us think of gun ownership as a ‘hobby’ are part of the reason we cannot get the numbers to file witness slips, call legislators etc...
It’s a right. Plain and simple. “Shall not be infringed”.
The FOID is a poll-tax. Plain and simple.

Setup a gmail account and forward it to the real address?or know how to work around it? -
You are legally required to change your FOID and CCL address within a certain timeframe of changing your address. You risk both being invalidated if you change your DL address and neglect changing these. The ISP periodically ping the two databases off each other - so its not a risk I would take.

It's quite funny. I helped out at my Daughters schools 'Fathers Forum' last year. They had their meetings at an unposted location, so I carried every time. The guy leading it manages an Edward Jones location. He was so anti that even if it wasn't corporate policy, I'm certain he would have posted it himself!
If only he knew what was in my pocket the whole time.....

Did they really essentially say that the Plaintiff lacked sufficient intellect to understand the Law, therefore cannot make this claim?
Ahh, yes. Wrong way around. Thanks!Where did you see that? I interpret that statement to mean the ISP is lacking in intellect. -

I moved since I first reported. Now:

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.

Yeah, sometime they release cert decisions during private conference, just not very often. I'd wager a Monday release, 8:30am central.
-
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.
-
Yep - just not quite enough support for overriding home rule. Certainly not enough support to repeal.

A decision Monday, PATRIOT'S Day, could be appropriate if they take the case.

Woot!

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......

Everything you need is at the link OP posted..

Conference is schedule for April 18th. Many times cases get punted to later conference, but its possible we will find out the decision to take or deny on April 21.

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.

I love the 'Questions Presented' page of the CATO brief...

Was this Court serious in District of Columbia v.Heller when it ruled that the Second Amendmentprotects the individual right to keep and bear arms? -
I've carried daily for 2+ weeks now, and the ONLY place I have had to disarm is my place of work.
I am not saying it works that way for everyone, and if you read past posts you will see how adamantly I am against prohibitted locations, short of private property, but I am able to defend my family.
Its almost that way for me - other than work I also disarm on Metra for the commute.

People v. Brown - FOID ruled unconstituional in IL District Court
in Judicial Second Amendment Case Discussion
Posted · Edited by RoadyRunner
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.
