Huge Ruling Strikes Down a Major Illinois Gun Control Law

Illinois, we finally have some good news, so enjoy it while it lasts. Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, discusses the huge ruling in the matter of Schoenthal v. Raoul, a now successful challenge to Illinois' ban on any form of carry on public transportation regardless of your license status. The Court here has found that there is no historical analouge to justify these restrictions and has granted an "as applied" challenge to this statute. So learn what all of this means and arm yourself with education today.

If a law is unconstitutional for one citizen then it is unconstitutional for all citizens.

Here is the thing I live in Illinois I’m sick of this shit we need the US supreme court to put all of this to rest.

[grantacoatneysr]

HOW STUPID, Public Property is Taxpayer Public Property !

[blackhawk]

I live in Illinois. Prikster owns the 7th district court and the Illinois Supreme Court is packed with liberal activist judges. This ruling will be overturned by the end of the month

[DoubleDogDare]

And, of course, this ruling will mean ZERO to thugs and other predators who will carry in secret everywhere and view the rest of us as their prey.

[victorwaddell]

Shitcago shouldn't be able to dictate the rest of Illinois into being unarmed .

[daveacker]

This ruling means ZERO to the 4 unarmed dead on the Pink Line train in Chicago this weekend. The families should sue the state for failure to protect their loved ones due to restricting their 2nd Amendment rights on public transportation.

[dondavis]

The carry permit itself is unconstitutional. Irony at its best.

[sineater]

Take all the security away from Politicians and see how fast they stand up saying its important that they have security but Citizens can't... Politicians are Citizens...

[Phil-eyyh]

This just goes to show how illinois government thinks of public funded edifices. Most people understand them to be THE PEOPLE'S buildings. Illinois government considers anything that they pay for with the extorted tax dollars become THEIR private property.

This state is disguising.

[davidnovakovich]

Illinois. Ill. Annoy. I’m sorry that you have to put up with so many corrupt politicians and bureaucrats. I’m praying for all of you good citizens.

4 passengers got shot and killed this morning on the CTA train in Forest Park Illinois

Isn’t just amazing how such a GUN SAFE state as Illinois has so many people wanting to exercise their Constitutional Right to Self Defense. 😮

[happyhaunter_]

Can't have your firearm on public transportation, so if you use public transportation to get to work, you're deemed too poor to the right to self defense??

[pcmedic]

You should only be restricted on carrying where you are 100% safe from CRIMINAL threat. In other words, NOWHERE!

[planetguardiansswordlord]

To keep and bear arms is not specific towards self defense, however it does specify for fighting against tyrannical government.

Thank you for this good news. I left IL last year, primarily because I was sick of their abuse of my Constitutional rights, not the least of which was the 2A rights. No matter how horrible Gov. Prickster is, I still owe him a debt of gratitude for making it so bad that I left a company that I had been with for 20 years. If I can do it, anyone can do it, and leave the People's Republic of Illinois behind forever. Vote with your feet, and leave these fascist states in your rear view mirror forever! They do not deserver to have you as a citizen!

[chucklutter]

Greetings from the Peoples Republic of Illinois. At the end you called the play perfectly, the ruling will be reversed fastest than any other case. I have no hope for this once great state. BEST AND PEACE

[mbiehl]

I live in downstate IL, aka, Southern IL and we are tired of Chicago dictating how we should all think and feel. Illinois neighbor MO doesn't have near the laws regarding firearms that Illinois does. I mean if we want to own a firearm we have to get a stupid Firearm Owner ID (FOID) card. Its ridiculous. Stepping off my soapbox now...
