My favorite charity
Thursday, Sep 19, 2013 - Posted by Rich Miller * Commenter “Lobo Y Olla” scoffed this week at a claim made by another commenter that the Cook County State’s Attorney was low-balling the number of cases it would dismiss against people who benefited from the recent Illinois Supreme Court ruling on carrying loaded guns in public…
* From Fox 32…

I matched the donation (and just submitted it) to get Rich to post this question. Heck, money goes to a good place anyway right!
Hopefully we wind up with $200 total from cap fax commenters today!

Does that ruling eliminate the state’s extra paperwork/fees for concealed carry? Haven’t read the ruling, but on the surface, if I can carry now with my FOID, and the IL Supreme Court says I can, why do I need the extra fee/permit/training/waiting period/etc?

@DanL
the ruling specifically said the court didn’t rule on “FOID carry” with regards to the new law. Just that those charged under the “old” law were charged under and unconstitutional law.
I wouldn’t FOID carry yet.

it doesnt directly affect the concealed carry act Dan, it specifically said in the ruling that the FCCA act was not a part of the ruling.

It would be nice if courts would just lay it down in real-world terms so there was no ambiguity as to what they’re trying to say.

I guess Lobo Y Olla wasn’t reading today. Too bad.
