Seems like laws against carrying guns are falling apart in Illinois.. [View all]

The way courts are going in Illinois, seems like all you will need is a FOID card, to carry a gun..

..Very interesting..

A Cook County judge reversed herself Monday and dismissed weapons charges against a Chicago man after a recent Illinois Supreme Court ruling that called part of the state's gun law unconstitutional.

Cook County Circuit Judge Ellen Mandeltort last week denied Deafalla Haddad's request to drop the charges.

But the Supreme Court ruled Thursday that part of the state's gun law was unconstitutional and advised prosecutors to drop charges in certain cases. That ruling fell in step with a federal court decision earlier this year declaring that the state's gun laws violated the U.S. Constitution

I wonder if Chicago, and some of the suburbs, wish they had NOT been so overreaching in their gun control laws, that ended up getting those egregious, and NOW, many more restrictions tossed out of court with them. They would have been far better off to have simply kept their mouths and the taxpayer wallets SHUT, but you know how it is, some people forget that the stove is hot, and MUST get burned every few years to remind them that the "stove" really is hot.
