A Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals ruling has upheld Illinois's ban on carrying firearms on public transportation, classifying transit as a 'sensitive place' akin to historical venues where arms were restricted. This decision, based on the Bruen test's historical tradition prong, contrasts with other circuit rulings and creates a circuit split that may be reviewed by the Supreme Court. The ruling impacts millions of Illinois residents who rely on public transit, forcing them to disarm despite concerns about crime.
