If the plaintiffs all appy and receive a valid non-resident CCW license from substantially similar Virginia than they will have a stronger case since they qualify to carry under the substantially similar Viriginia laws.

Why is it that Illinois will issue a Firearms Control Card ("tan card") to armed security guards who live in bordering states, but will not issue a CCL to those same guards?

 

Double standard...

In this scenario it may be a strategic motive. Primary complainant is an active duty airman stationed in Illinois. By dragging things out they may be trying to diminish his claim by waiting for his orders to be up and move to another duty station. A relocation would mean his need for an FCCL no longer exists. See people, your politicians are extremely anti-military too, even when they claim to be pro-military. Drury is an example of this.

Which is all the more reason why I do not understand why the legal team for "our side" is not considering adding other plaintiffs to this case. I know that there are many other non-residents that are being withheld their right to self-defense due to the State's misinterpretation/implementation of the FCCA.

There are several nonresident plaintiffs identified in the initial complaint. None of them are the primary complainant though.

It's Myerscough's case. What do you expect? "Let's pump this through because then I can dump it off on CA7." The fact that all of the State's motions for extensions have been granted, citing total horse manure like "I'll be on vacation" and "I have to prepare motions in this case, this case, this case (five more cases) so I need more time" is pathetic. Private practice attorneys would be shredded for doing that, it's an ethical violation to take on a larger caseload than one is capable of managing and "I don't have the time, I have to prepare motions in five other cases" is about as clear or an admission of ethics violations as possible.

Just a random thought, should we consider blanking out their names on that document? Antis do peruse these boards, and I'd be worried about them becoming targets for harassment or what-have-you.

It's in the public record.

 

I figured, but it was worth checking.

I am glad we have this lawsuit in the works. I was very disappointed to see the military service member right to CCL pulled from the FCCA technical bill this week. However, the lawsuit may serve to correct this problem across the nation and not just here in IL.

 

Onward!!

I've was thinking today about how interesting it is to be able to identify the moment and person that potentially was the catalyst for a ruling that could effect so much more than one state.

 

I hope to look back at this with a smile, knowing we were here to see it.

When the fight is over - let's make that, when the fight has succeeded to the point where there is a little slack in the schedule - it would be good to devote some effort to getting some of the critical events and locations - in Illinois, for example, Mary Shepard's church, Otis McDonald's and Rhonda Ezell's homes, etc. - added to the National Register of Historic Places. It's taken decades and a lot of effort to get the proper sort of recognition for sites important to the black civil rights movement but it's gotten done and provides, I think, a good model for what we should do in the future.
