Chicago Abolishes Gun Registry in Place Since 1968
The Illinois State Supreme Court has made significant rulings impacting gun rights. The court affirmed that the right to keep and bear arms extends outside the home, striking down the long-standing Chicago gun registry. Additionally, the court upheld the state's process for restoring firearm rights, even for individuals with domestic violence misdemeanor convictions. These decisions challenge municipal attempts to regulate firearm carry and bolster Second Amendment protections in Illinois.
