7th US Circuit Court ruling

[jimlongley]

Basically says that self-defense takes place outside the home, and is even more likely there than in the home, and that the 2nd Amendment has been ruled by SCOTUS to have a self-defense outside the home component, and therefore Illinois law against concealed carry is unconstitutional.

The court has stayed their mandate by " . . . 180 days to allow the Illinois legislature to craft a new gun law that will impose reasonable limitations . . ."

Of course it remains to be seen what Cook Country and the Emmanuel and Daley machines define as reasonable, but this is a good decision IMHO.

And it would also be interesting if the Illinois legislature failed to make it within 180 days.

The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals said state lawmakers have 180 days to write a new law that legalizes concealed carry.
