McDonald decision expected Monday

Law-abiding gun owners in Illinois have been waiting all month for the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in McDonald v. Chicago, and it is looking like Monday will be the day. Monday is the last day of the SCOTUS's current session.

Otis McDonald sued the City of Chicago in the Supreme Court over Mayor Daley's insane position on the ownership of handguns in the City of Chicago. McDonald and thousands of other law-abiding residents in Chicago want the right to defend themselves in their homes without becoming criminals themselves (in Daley's eyes).

Richard Pearson, Executive Director of the Illinois State Rifle Association (http://www.isra.org/), will hold a press conference on Monday, June 28, at 10:00AM at the Hotel Allegro, 171 West Randolph Street, Chicago.

You see people in high places aren't really affected by the problems of the common folk they rule are they? I wonder if the mayor has a piece tucked in his pants. He would be a fool if he didn't.

After the D.C. guns case and closely considering Scalia's opinion; I don't know how Chicago could "win."
