"The two judges who struck down Illinois' law accepted without proof the NRA's argument that guns in public places protect people, and ignored the fact that guns tend to create a greater danger than exists when guns are not present," Goodman said in the statement. "The same judges who just set guns loose on Chicago's streets sit in offices and courtrooms that are protected by federal security guards and metal detectors. No guns are allowed in their building. Isn't it pretty obvious that they know that guns are dangerous?"

That's what most opponents of guns think will happen when guns become available to the law-abiding. It's yet to happen, though. Studies have shown that the more guns available to the law-abiding, the less crime there is in that area.

No need to stress, though - they have 6 months to draft such a ridiculously complex process to obtain a concealed carry permit that I'm betting there STILL won't be anyone legally carrying a firearm.

Illinois Concealed Carry Ban Ruled Unconstitutional By Federal Appellate Court

CHICAGO -- The long-standing ban on carrying concealed weapons in Illinois is over.

On Tuesday, a federal appeals court in Chicago tossed the state's ban on carrying concealed weapons, reports the Sun-Times. The court is giving the Illinois state legislature 180 days to craft a law legalizing concealed carry.
