There is Federal precedent from the 7th Circuit: Judicial Second Amendment Case Discussion > Ameren Illinois vs IBEW , LOCAL UNION 51 - Our side wins!

Sorry OP I'm going slightly OT, I was reading the same news letter and there was a "tidbit" of historic dating related to Humvee's.  He goes on to say how GM considered bringing them back but nothing in the works.  There is literally 2 brand new Hummers at the Cadillac dealer out front nearest me right now.  SMDH

This case was originally heard in Cook County. UL (aka Underwriters Laboratories) has locations in downtown Chicago and in Northbrook.

It was probably a mistake to file the case in county court instead of federal court.
