Huge Victory in Illinois for Right to Bear Arms
« on: December 11, 2012, 01:39:44 PM »
BELLEVUE, WA – The Second Amendment Foundation has won a huge victory for the right to bear arms outside the home, with a ruling in the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals that declares the right to self-defense is “broader than the right to have a gun in one’s home.”

With the conflicting judgement out of New York appelate court a week or two ago this is now set up to be addressed by the Supreme Court.  Lets hope that Barry does not get to appoint any new justices before it gets there.

Here's the court decision itself, since that tends to be more useful to read :)

Lawmakers have 180 days to pass concealed-carry law

If Illinois residents were allowed to carry loaded handguns outside of their homes and businesses, Eddie Rodgers, who runs a gun shop in Bradley, said he'd likely carry his custom .45 caliber Kimber pistol.

"I want something that's going to stop someone," he said.

But the 60-year-old wasn't sounding too optimistic that Illinois would join the rest of the country in adopting some form of a concealed-carry law. Illinois is the only remaining state where carrying concealed weapons is entirely illegal.

That's all right. Many other gun rights supporters were celebrating for him.

This is a huge victory.   Many more to come but nonetheless this is a big win for the pro gun side.
