Concealed Carry: Court Strikes Down Illinois' Ban
The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled Illinois' concealed carry ban unconstitutional, mandating the state to pass a concealed carry bill within 180 days. This decision emphasizes the right to self-defense outside the home as equivalent to the right within the home, rejecting Illinois' justification for its sweeping ban. The ruling could impact 'May Issue' states and potentially lead to constitutional carry if the state fails to act within the mandated timeframe.
