Speaking of Interesting
« on: April 05, 2012, 12:04:27 PM »
Court cases in Illinois.   We had two cases concerning the lack of any type of carry dismissed.  Both are being appealed to the same appeals court that gave us the Ezell ruling.  Chances are pretty good they'll go to the Supreme Court (probably combined).  I can't see the anti's in this state (and the nation) rolling over if they lose at the appellate level, and I know we'll ask for Cert if we lose.

But today the Illinois Supreme court is expected to rule on the Cook County "Assault Weapon" ban.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

good to hear they will alllow the case to proceed, although it seems abvious to me that semi-auto's should be allowed. (if you tell them i said so, i'm sure it will hurry the case along.)

It would be very nice to see IL get CCW, for a whole lot of reasons.

I'll bet that Rham's security detail is well armed, which just frosts my *expletive deleted*ss!

I might even travel there once reciprocity is established with OH.
