Felonies carried basically permanent punishment during the ratification of the bill of rights because most Felonies resulted in the death penalty. So most people had their rights restored after serving their sentence because what was considered a felony was very limited. Unlike today were they...
Also Easterbrook was the author of Friedman v Highland Park that the opinion was based on feelings, and Cert was denied by SC. So part of his claim for the current stay is McGlynn didn't consider Friedman. And is asking for briefs from the plantiffs on why Friedman is no longer valid.
There are at least 3 in the works. I suspect that one will get filed in each of the 3 IL federal judicial circuits. Each suit will cover 3-4 items since the briefs are limited to 28 pages. Each lawsuit will go after different sections of the law. Possible the county States Attorneys will...
Some of the States Attorneys have already said that the state police may be the ones in handcuffs charged with deprivation of rights under color of law.
If the shoot is ruled self defense justified then IL law protects the victim from all civil lawsuits brought by any party connected to the perp. May still get sued but should be dismissed with prejudice.
that is basically what Illinois does. If an instruction gets caught not following the training requirement they revoke the instructors license and revoke all the students permits, and give them 90 days to seek new training and upload a new training completed certificate.
Some of those revocation cases involve PD responding to a domestic disturbance call, and the PD filing clear and present danger reports for the parties involved which are no being used to revolve FOID cards, therefore they are loosing their 2A rights without administrated hearings or court...
I agree with most people that the tax should stay because it serves a direct good purpose, but it is a tax on a constitutional right, and should they be able to tax a constitutional right. But that would also go for paying sales tax on the purchase of guns and ammo. So it you end one tax then...
Here is the current list And no Indiana is not on it.
Arkansas, Idaho, Mississippi, Nevada, Texas and Virginia. And keep in mind that if Illinois decides one of those states is not longer considered special they will revoke the permits issued to people in those states without prior warning.
And that was the point. If they have enough areas that you can't carry or the burden of holstering and leaving in in the car, and then having to reholster after returning was to detour people from carrying.
Come across something that may explain so of the responses to this whole thing. I have come across several references from people that are thinking that the text, history, tradition is the same as using strict scrutiny, so they are thinking that they still have a say if there law is narrowly...
IL never had a May issue permit system. We went from nothing to Shall Issue. There was talk of may issue if certain things were not agreed to by the gun lobby, but we still got shall issue, but a ton of no carry areas.
The issue is how many of those cases that were loses would of been wins if the courts hadn't played the intermediate scrutiny card. How many of those cases are not even directly citable now due to incorrect use of means end scrutiny.
