The Seventh Circuit struck down Illinois Conceal and Carry Ban today. The Court held
"The Supreme Court’s interpretation of the Second Amendment compelled the appeals court to rule the ban unconstitutional, the judges said. But the court gave 180 days to "allow the Illinois legislature to craft a new gun law that will impose reasonable limitations, consistent with the public safety and the Second Amendment as interpreted in this opinion, on the carrying of guns in public."
Now the ball is in the legislature's hands in order to craft time and place restrictions in the next six months. Most likely, there will be additional permits and training requirements, in line with the City of Chicago's handgun restrictions.
