You have got to be kidding me. I wouldn’t live in Chicago if it was the last place on earth. I spent a few months there one winter and it was the worst time of my life. Gawd I hate that place.
Summery in post #16.
King Richie II has outdone himself this time. Big revenue magnet for the city.
In Illinois you must be 21 or older in order to own a handgun anyway!
Do you need an ID card to buy a book or newspaper, or to attend church? I'm also assuming that this ID card isn't free, which raises another issue.
Chicago Permit (cost $100 every 3 years)
Just adding even more burdens to the exercise of a right.
Register ALL guns at $15 each every 3 years
Let's see...does one have to pay a fee for each book, magazine or paper one owns? Every three years? Does one even need to register these things, even if free?
No Firearms sales in city
That may be a simple zoning issue in any particular place, but to discriminate by law against a business that sells papers or books throughout an entire large city? It is simply unimaginable that the courts would allow such a thing.
Limited to one handgun per month
Back to the books and magazines thing. Oh, and let's add attendence in church and participation in peaceful protests against the government.
90 day grace period to register existing guns
Would a 90-day grace period to register books be upheld?
Training must include 4 hours classroom & 1 hour range time.
Would classroom and practical training be OK as a prerequisite for buying a book? Oh, and who makes the rules about what's in the instruction and test, and what constitutes a passing grade? Nothing like arbitrary and capricious standards to piss off judges.
NO RANGES ALLOWED IN CITY required range time must be in suburbs That's rich - could you imagine requiring transportation to outside of their own jurisdiction (at who's expense, as if I didn't know) in order to take a required reading course and test, in order to be able to buy a book?
Transport broken down, inaccessible, unloaded, in a locked case
Stupid, but they'll get away with this one unless the Court ultimately finds (as they should) that one has a right to protect one's self with the most effective weapon available while traveling.
Firearm only allowed inside dwelling. Not allowed in garage, front porch, yard, etc.
Bible only allowed inside dwelling. Not allowed in garage, front porch, yard, etc.
Only one gun allowed to be in firing condition all others to be broken down or trigger locks.
You can only read one book at a time, none of this whoring around and reading 3 or 4 at the same time on a piecemeal basis.
Guns not allowed in hotels, dorms and group living facilities.
Back to the issue of where your right to self defense ends.
In homes with minors, all guns must be secured when they are not in the possession of the owner.
Define "secured." How expensive is THAT going to be? Will they have semi-annual, warrantless searches so that you can prove to them that you're not committing a "crime?"
Assault weapons are banned, as are sawed-off shotguns and "unsafe" handguns, as defined by the Chicago Police (whatever that means...)
Ah, yes, the definition problem again, as well as the arbitrary and capricious problem.
Seems to me that Larry Gura is going to be a busy man for the next several years, starting with obtaining a temporary injunction on the enforcement of this POS law.
I would just like to know if tars and feathers, or good hemp rope, exists anywhere in the shitty of Shitcago. Gotta be over 21 or Parents must sign application
