How come I knew that you would say that, lol? Anyway, I do not know what gun laws in Illinois are, but I thought that you were allowed to own a gun here?

I don't know about the state laws of Illinois, but the U.S. Constitution states in the 2nd Amendment that everyone have the rights to bear arms in their own home. If the tides were turned and it was the assailant shot instead, I doubt the home owner would have been arrested.

yes mam. Guns are banned in Chicago. Well, pretty much. It's almost impossible to own one legally, with all the hoops, regitrations, ect ect ect...I don't think you can own a hand gun period.

All that's about to change for Chi town though. They've been battling it out in the Supreme Court since the beginning of last week. The attorneys for The Contitution got the ban overturned in Washington DC last year. I haven't kept up with this Chicago case like I wanted to. I've just been so busy the past couple weeks, but I wonder the status.??? I need to check in on it.

It's illegal for citiens to own guns, but Chicago's local government officials can own them. They created a little loop hole stating that because they're local government, they're considered law enforcement. Good ole Chicago politics at work. I should find you the article about the congressman that bent the rules way out of whack because he's a gun collector and forgot to register his collection one year. It's ridiculous. Everybody that was within his slip-up timeframe got a break too.
