District Court Upholds Illinois Total Ban on Carrying Guns
The district court reasoned that even a total ban on carrying guns for self-defense outside the home should be judged under “intermediate scrutiny,” and the ban passes because “[t]he State of Illinois has determined that, for purposes of protection of its residents, a citizen’s interest in carrying a firearm in public should be subject to the governmental interest in safeguarding the welfare of the public at large from the inherent dangers in a loaded firearm.”

Of course the judges are right on this. Look how bad Chicago mwould be if every Tom Dick and Harry was carry a roscoe
…Does that mean the police should be disarmed? After all, if you’re going to protect he “public at large” from loaded guns…
“The State of Illinois has determined that, for purposes of protection of its residents, a citizen’s interest in [owning] a firearm should be subject to the governmental interest in safeguarding the welfare of the public at large from the inherent dangers in a loaded firearm.” Not much of a stretch, really, is it.
