Mmmm. Probably not the best guy to be arguing the case, but considering it's Skokie he may be one of their more upstanding citizens.

Nothing but misdemeanors.

He's entitled under the Constitution.

I notice the constitution does not say “the right to bear arms, if you have a clean police record, shall not be infringed”.

i’d rather see a guy with misdemeanors having a chance than violent felons.

His crimes are misdemeanors and thus he is not a prohibited person. In his particular circuit jurisdiction, the right to bear arms is a constitutional right and Ill has been ordered to issue them. He may be a marginal applicant, but this is shall-issue, not may-issue. If we give gov’t discretion, the right will become a privilege.

sounds like he was bickering with a neighbor or something... those charges sound bad but probably mostly harmless. Simply arguing with a cop gets you resisting charges, it’s their ace they keep up their sleeve for when you pi#$@ them off. the other one is disorderly conduct.

It gets worse. I have a friend who was denied because of someone elses crime. He has a fairly common name, evidently sharted by a criminal in another part of the state (Illinois). He’s trying to get that mess straightened out but it could take years.

It really should not be a problem, after all, he has a different S.S. number, different finger prints etc. but he’s having to deal with Illinois state government.

A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

Why the hell do ANY of us "need" a permit? What part of "shall not be infringed" is unclear?
