Quite Candidly, They Lost Their Appeal With Me Some Time Ago

Now they've lost it with the court. [Read]

Will they appeal higher?  Will SCOTUS hear it? 

Lawyers: What would happen to someone caught carrying today against a law that has been ruled unconstitutional?

You ask "Lawyers: What would happen to someone caught carrying today against a law that has been ruled unconstitutional?"

If the cops kill anyone they catch carrying, dead people don't get any time in court. And since it would be "Law Enforcement" who would investigate whether the cops' actions were legal, well...

Just look at the murder of Andrew Lee Scott in his own home by the Lake County Sheriff's officers. If his survivors are lucky, they MAY get some taxpayer dollars.

He would be arrested. Possibly shot, probably beaten for "resisting." Bail would be set so high that he would have no money left for an attorney. They would pile on as many other charges as they could find, and he would go bankrupt fighting in court with the endless demands that a corrupt system could place on his attorney's time using the endless supply of taxpayer funds at their disposal.

In the meantime, their would be a series of "leaks" that would make him appear to be a racist anti-government nut job. Evidence proving his innocence would be hidden and "lost."

In the end, he will likely walk free to face a lifetime of debt, an impossible task of reclaiming his good name, life ruined.

Ask George Zimmerman, Randy and Vicki Weaver, or Richard Jewell about the inner workings of our justice system.

Some Cook County persecuting (that's deliberate--not a typo) attorneys claim the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals can be legitimately defied--that, "Only the Illinois Supreme Court can declare a statue from (the legislature) unconstitutional."

I especially like this part:

"After 180 days, anyone who decided, for example, to walk down Michigan Avenue in Chicago carrying an AK-15 would be subject to arrest and prosecution for violating the [Unlawful Use of Weapons Act,]" said Cook County Assistant State’s Attorney Paul Castiglione."

Arrest and prosecution, evidently, for carrying a non-existent firearm.

I just love these liars and hypocrites. Every time they get a ruling favorable to their authoritarian agenda, they literally crow; "The courts have ruled and you must obey or we will jail or kill you." However, when they are slapped down like this, they claim they aren't required to follow the court's ruling. I simply don't get why some people still don't get it.

Ooh - I want one of those AK-15s.
Would that be a stamped metal receiver instead of a forged and machined receiver with a gas operated piston action? Sounds more like a FN SCAR, HK416 or Bushmaster ACR.

Illinois may the the 'only' state that bans concealed carry but just try to get a permit in NJ, NY, CA and a host of others....so much for fast and loose descriptions.
