Big news for our friends in IL! Supreme Court declares right to keep and bear arms extends beyond the house:

I just saw that and glanced at it. Looks like a solid decision. Kudos to them for having the intellectual honesty to admit that Heller and McDonald can't plausibly be read as narrowly as Illinois courts had been trying to get away with. I'll bet they didn't like having to make that decision, which makes me respect them all the more for admitting it anyway.

And a unanimous decision to boot. REALLY hard to believe that it came out of Illinois.

But this could mean a wave of shootings in Chicago!

Too late.

Too late.

Oh, but it will REALLY, REALLY become the Wild West now. There will be gun under every sport jacket and under every skirt . You won't be able to swing a cat without hitting some crazed person legally carrying a gun. WYATT EARP RIDES AGAIN. Up every street. Emergency rooms won't be able to keep pace.

Just wait it will start tomorrow at the latest.

It the wave of shooting is good guys taking out the bad guys It's about time the people could defend them selfs. Even with the ability to carry a gun I'd never live there.

I feel sorry for all the little thugs in Chicago and Illinois as a whole having to share guns now. Just waiting for the ammo shortage to hit that area.
Anyone wanna bet that after a year or so in Illinois that after a few criminals are shot by law abiding citizens defending themselves that the crime rate will decline?
The bad people will no longer have reign of the streets without fear of reprisals from good people.

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

I agree...a 9-0 decision is pretty convincing.

As far as we know, this is the first time a state supreme court in the United States has ruled the right to keep and bear arms applies outside the four corners of a residence.

Ummm, no.

Other than that . . . great news!

I'm just thankful that Al Capone isn't alive to see what a violent, corrupt cesspool Chicago has become since his day.

Yep. Superintendent McCarthy already stuck his foot in his mouth on this one.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Oh, I am going to say it . . . I TOLD YOU SO!

I told you that the abortion of a carry bill in Illinois should have beens scuttled. Illinios should have tried for Constitutional Carry because as of right now, they have it.

 

[LockStocksAndBarrel]

Superintendent Streetlight will have all the cops shooting all of the CCers anyway...

Oh, I am going to say it . . . I TOLD YOU SO!

I told you that the abortion of a carry bill in Illinois should have beens scuttled. Illinios should have tried for Constitutional Carry because as of right now, they have it.

So, you're saying the IL state law on Aggravated Unlawful Use of a Weapon for carrying a handgun in public in IL is unenforceable right now?

I am not saying this; every single member of the Supreme Court of Illinois is saying this.

So can I OC down Michigan Avenue now??
