BELLEVUE, WA – The Second Amendment Foundation today won a significant victory for concealed carry when the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals let stand a December ruling by a three-judge panel of the court that forces Illinois to adopt a concealed carry law, thus affirming that the right to bear arms exists outside the home.
The ruling came in Moore v. Madigan, a case filed by SAF. The December opinion that now stands was written by Judge Richard Posner, who gave the Illinois legislature 180 days to “craft a new gun law that will impose reasonable limitations, consistent with the public safety and the Second Amendment…on the carrying of guns in public.” That clock is ticking, noted SAF Executive Vice President Alan Gottlieb.
“Illinois lawmakers need to create some kind of licensing system or face the prospect of not having any regulations at all when Judge Posner’s deadline arrives,” Gottlieb said. “They need to act. They can no longer run and hide from this mandate.”
“We were delighted with Judge Posner’s ruling in December,” he continued, “and today’s decision by the entire circuit to allow his ruling to stand is a major victory, and not just for gun owners in Illinois. Judge Posner’s ruling affirmed that the right to keep and bear arms, itself, extends beyond the boundary of one’s front door.”

Appears there is a big battle being set for the SC to step in on this topic. One of the other circuits has ruled against the RKBA outside the home and this is a direct opposite result. So, get the popcorn out and sit back and relax as it is coming to a channel at some unknown time in the near future!! As I learn more I will continue to update!

Well we can say, since the Clinton administration, there has never been a dull moment. Oh by the way, if I had not said it before Clinton and the present PPS are assholes. Excuse my inappropriate use of a normally functioning area of the human body.

Oh I think it can be repaired to some degree. Repairing the idiots will take much more work.

I think that is a very good alternative. When can we start? I'm thinking that we should make them swim there with an illegal immigrant under each arm.
