Will We Have a Ruling on Cook County Forest Gun Free Zones?
http://www.gunrights4illinois.com/bl...un-free-zones/
Simon Solomon was arrested in the Cook County forest preserve for carrying concealed firearms while fishing. He had a valid Illinois concealed carry license, however Cook County Forest Preserves are listed as prohibited areas in the Illinois Firearm Concealed Carry Licensing Act.
The case was later dismissed due to the skillful ability of his lawyer, Marshall Libert, but the story does not end there. In fact, it is just the beginning. Simon Solomon and Marshal Libert felt it was a violation of Solomon’s rights prohibiting him to carry in just one of the 102 county forest preserves in the state of Illinois.

THE WORST ANTI-GUN LEGISLATORS IN ILLINOIS ARE HAVING A TOWN HALL
The authors and chief sponsors of bills designed to shut down lawful gun shops and ban and confiscate most of your guns are having a town hall meeting.
IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR GUN RIGHTS, YOU WILL BE THERE TO EXPRESS SUPPORT FOR THE 2ND AMENDMENT

Date: Tuesday, 21 November 2017
Time: 6:30 PM. (Be there by 5:45 to get a seat
Where: Bensenville Village Hall, 12 South Center Street, Bensenville, IL
When it comes to gun control, no duo is more ardent about taking your guns away than Don Harmon and Kathleen Willis. They are the chief sponsors of SB1657 - a bill that would shut down most gun shops in the state. Right now, 1657 is waiting to be revived in the Spring Session.
IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR GUN RIGHTS, PLEASE DO THE FOLLOWING:
1. Plan to be at the town hall in Bensenville on Tuesday, 21 November at 6:30.
2. Pass this alert along to all your gun-owning friends and family and tell them to attend.

REMEMBER: The Second Amendment is not just a matter of opinion - it's our culture!

We will not give up on sensible gun legislation
http://www.oakpark.com/News/Articles...n-legislation/
This year and this month, our nation should be especially mindful of those gatherings altered tragically by gun violence across the country. It is not a new problem, obviously, especially in our area, but the failure to reduce these tragedies is a tragedy of our own making. We have enacted important measures but more is urgently needed to curb the flow of guns to our streets and save innocent lives.

KEEP YER HEAD ON A SWIVEL!
Three people were robbed at gunpoint early Saturday morning in the South Loop, Chicago police said.
A man and two women were getting into a car when a black SUV bumped into the back of their vehicle just before 1 a.m., according to authorities.
When they got out of the car, four men got out of the SUV and aimed guns at them, demanding that they get on the ground. The victims’ wallets, cell phones, and keys were stolen, and the four men then fled the scene in the SUV.
According to police, no one was injured during the robbery, and no one is in custody. Area Central detectives are investigating the incident.
Oh, Happy Holidays BTW...
Police are warning Northwest Side businesses about three robberies that happened in November.
The robbers entered the businesses with a black or silver handgun and demanded money from the victims, according to a business alert from Chicago Police.

CHICAGO (AP) — An Illinois law banning guns within 1,000 feet of public parks violates a right under the Second Amendment to carry a weapon outside the home for self-defense, the state Supreme Court concluded in a unanimous decision issued on Thursday.
The 7-0 ruling came in the criminal case of Julio Chairez, who had appealed his 2013 conviction for having a gun near Aurora’s Virgil Gilman Trail park, just west of Chicago. In addition to striking the law, Thursday’s ruling also vacated Chairez’s conviction.
The 25-page opinion, penned by Chief Justice Lloyd Karmeier, says the law — in its scope — functions as “a categorical prohibition without providing an exception for law-abiding individuals.” He adds: “It is therefore a severe burden on the recognized second amendment right of self-defense.”

Sen. Durbin on gun control: 'We've got to get sensible about background checks'
http://www.ksdk.com/article/news/loc...s/63-520742041
"All mentally ill people are not dangerous or violent by any means," said the Senator.
Durbin toured the hospital during a stop in the Metro East to support the congressional campaign of St. Clair County State's Attorney Brendan Kelly, who Durbin has endorsed.
“Rather than undercutting and gutting Medicare and gutting Medicaid and attacking the expansion of healthcare, we need to move back in the other direction in making these services more available to folks. Because if we don't, in the end, it ultimately affects people's public safety,” said Kelly.
So, how does Durbin propose keeping guns out of the hands of those with mental illness who are violent?
“We've got to get sensible about background checks when it comes to firearms,” said Durbin.
