Celebrate the Supreme Court Victory in Chicago on Friday, July 9!
On Friday, July 9, from 11:00AM to 1:00 PM, law-abiding residents of the area will gather at the James R. Thompson Center, 100 W. Randolph St., Chicago, to celebrate the breaking of Chicago's stupid, illegal, 28-year gun law that prohibited ownership of handguns in Chicago by law-abiding citizens.
The rally will celebrate the restoration of the right to keep and bear arms!
Come and shake Otis McDonald's hand and thank him for standing up to Daley. Second Amendment Freedom Rally sponsors, Illinois State Rifle Association and IllinoisCarry.com welcome the plaintiffs from the case! Other special guests include WVON's Charles Butler & several local activists! Cisco Cotto from WLS-AM will be the emcee for this event!
And Daley? He has already twisted the arms of 45 Chicago City Councilmen who didn't have the backbone to stand up to him. What does Daley want now?
If you have a handgun in your home, you can't take it to your yard, porch or garage.
You'll have to attend (and pay for) a training course.
You'll have to pay $100 for a three-year license.
You'll have to pay $15/gun to register it.
You can't have more than one working handgun in your house.
You'll have to go outside the City of Chicago to practice.

Regarding one of your statements-
You stated-
"You can't have more than one working handgun in your house."
Actually, the statute requires that:
"...Only one firearm per permit holder can be kept in ready-to-fire condition. Other guns must be taken apart or have trigger locks in place. In homes with minors, all guns must be secured when they are not in the possession of the owner..."
Which, interestingly enough, is precisely how ALL the gun owners and NRA members I know(and that includes my own family)manage their firearms.
Responsible gun owners install trigger locks on weapons not in use. Responsible gun owners ensure that minors cannot access their firearms.
That's what responsible firearm owners do.
I stand (sit) corrected. Thanks, John.
Minors should be taught responsibility about firearms.
No trigger locks on my handguns. If I need one, there probably won't be time to find the key and unlock it.
Imagine if the retired police sergeant in Chicago, whose son was killed right in front of his house, had had to unlock his handgun before shooting the two perps who caused his son's death.
I'll ignore the unfortunate legal question about whether he actually had the right to fire, since HE wasn't threatened. Don't misunderstand; I'm glad he fired when he did.
You clearly are have some difficulty reading the statutes, and my post, Mr. Philpott.
Minors being taught responsiblity about firearms. Funny. Look at the ages of the chicldren who go fishing for their parent's unsecured weapons and end up discharging them.
You only need to have one firearm unlocked in order to fire it. The Chicago law allows that. Common sense gun owners keep their firearms under lock and key- except for the one they have for home defense. That's the law in Chicago, and that's common sense around the nation.
I'm sure that the lucky burglar who breaks into your crackerbox apartment someday will be delighted to learn none of your firearms are secured. Good job. Setting a fine example for creepy white gun fetishists everywhere.
And, with the election jsut a few months away, could you tie this all in with the Green Party's Ten Key Values again, Mr. Frank R. Philpott?
Responsible gun owners may be like responsible parents (remember those?) Teach kids to keep their hands off stuff thats not theirs! EVERY gun is loaded in my home and are handled with the care and respect needed to insure the safety of all involved no matter what their age. Kids that visit my home know not to touch guns because they might be loaded and are dangerous.
When asked about carrying his Colt .45 cocked and locked, or in condition one, The questioner than asked 'Isn't that dangerous?' The mans reply was "Damn right it is."
Excellent comment. By teaching children about gun safety and responsibility, child gun accidents will drop. Treat every gun as if it's loaded.
Yes! Kids should be taught to keep their hands off what is not there. A loaded gun could be left right on a coffee table and never get more than a glance.
Obviously, this doesn't work with the youngest of children, who haven't learned reason yet.
Thanks for the excellent comment.
