CHICAGO -- The long-standing ban on carrying concealed weapons in Illinois is over.
On Tuesday, a federal appeals court in Chicago tossed the state's ban on carrying concealed weapons, reports the Sun-Times. The court is giving the Illinois state legislature 180 days to craft a law legalizing concealed carry.
The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in two downstate Illinois cases that challenged the state's concealed weapons ban, according to the Sun-Times.
"We are disinclined to engage in another round of historical analysis to determine whether eighteenth-century America understood the Second Amendment to include a right to bear guns outside the home," wrote Judge Richard Posner in the court's majority opinion.
Capitol Fax has excerpted additional key parts of the opinion, including the portion where the court agrees to put a stay on the opinion for 180 as the legislature makes a new law that "will impose reasonable limitations, consistent with the public safety and the Second Amendment as interpreted in this opinion, on the carrying of guns in public."
KNOWING THE LIBS IN ILLINOIS the requirements will be open to virgins that can walk on water, and democrat politicians only, OBAMA will do anything he can to get the second amendment declared invalid, as STALIN, HITLER AND MOA, all KNEW, you can,t exactly start matching political opponents off to re-education /concentration camps unless they are previously disarmed
GUN CONTROLS ARE ALWAYS PROPOSED AS CRIME CONTROL BUT ITS ALWAYS ABOUT PEOPLE CONTROL AND REDUCING ANY POTENTIAL RESISTANCE TO POTENTIALLY WILDLY UNPOPULAR GOVERNMENT CONTROLS< OR MANDATES
Illinois is the last state to have a ban on carrying concealed weapons.
Im sure the usual predictions of blood ankle deep in the street and predictions of a 100 fold increase in gang violence that never appear, that the libs always start screaming about will be on every news paper head line for months
the libs can,t grasp the concept of normal people without strict government over site doing anything correctly

Do you know that if you live in the small town of Kennesaw, Georgia, you are required to have and maintain a firearm?
On May 1, 1982, a new ordinance was passed by the city council of Kennesaw. This law ( Sec. 34-1 Heads of households to maintain firearms) made it mandatory for each household to own and maintain a gun, as well as ammunition. Not only was the ordinance passed by city council, it was a unanimous decision. The ordinance states the gun law is needed "In order to provide for the emergency management of the City, and further in order to provide for and protect the safety, security and general welfare of the city and its inhabitants, every head of household residing in the City limits is required to maintain a firearm, together with ammunition therefore." Of course, exclusions were made to convicted felons, people with religious objections, and people with disabilities.
Members of the city council introduced and voted for the ordinance to make a statement when a city in Illinois, Morton Grove, passed an ordinance banning hand guns from anyone other than peace officers. Morton Grove was the first community to ever ban the sale and possession of handguns.
Both city ordinances drew worldwide media attention, with Kennesaw's attention being negative. Nicknamed "Gun Town USA" from a column titled the same and written by Art Buchwald, expectations were for the town to covert back to the Old West style of handling disagreements with ruthless shoot outs. This expectation never happened. In fact, more than 25 years after the ban, not a single resident of Kennesaw has been involved in a fatal shooting - as a victim, attacker or defender. There has been one firearm related murder but not from a resident of Kennesaw. Since the ordinance, no child has ever been injured with a firearm in Kennesaw. Crime dropped after the ordinance and the city has maintained an exceptionally low crime rate ever since, even with the population swelling from 5,000 in 1982 to approximately 30,000 today. The truth is crime has plummeted and population has soared.
In comparison, the population of Morton Grove, Illinois has dropped slightly and the crime rate has increased, especially right after the ban.
Putting a ban on owning a firearm may keep guns out of the hands of law abiding citizens but will it put them at a disadvantage when it comes to protecting their families and possessions? Criminals who do not abide by laws anyway, will still possess handguns. If you were a criminal planning on breaking into a home to steal or cause somebody harm, would you choose a home in a city where every homeowner is required to carry a gun and ammunition or a home in a city where homeowners are banned from carrying guns?
