Ezell v. Chicago -- major win!
Posted by David Hardy · 6 July 2011 10:44 AM

Pdf of today's opinion here. It cuffs the district court, tells it had better issue an injunction against the new Chicago ordinance (and dictates what the injunction should contain), treats standard of review in terms very, very favorable to anyone making a right to arms challenge, rebuffs the City's attempt to moot the case by changing the ordinance, rules broadly on standing to sue, and does a few other things along the way.

I am very pleased. The majority opinion lays the smack down. I can't imagine the District courts ruling for the city in any way after that opinion from the Appeals Court.

Bonus points: Glenn Reynolds and Volokh were cited in the majority opinion.


Final comment: I like to reward success. SAF and ISRA-PAC should expect a donation from me shortly.

It gets better.

SAF just filed for an injunction against the IL carry ban using Ezell as a precedent.
