Lake County Board Meeting

Pro 2A ALL THE WAY!We had a good showing (~60 people) at the Lake County Board meeting this morning, but since no board member would pick up the resolution, it stalled.

We've got some ideas in the works, though...

 

 

J. Stewart of the State Line Rifle Association addresses the board.

Evanston Ends Gun Ban

RTWT: Chicago Tribune.

Following on the heels of a Supreme Court decision that held that a blanket ban on handguns violated 2nd Amendment rights, Evanston's City Council voted 7-1 Monday night to amend the North Shore suburb's weapons ordinance to conform to the landmark court ruling.

But, just so you really know how they feel about you and your rights:

"I find the Supreme Court decision repugnant," said Ald. Steve Bernstein (4th). "But because of it, it's the law. In the short term, we'll be better off getting [the ordinance] off the books."

By the way, what does, "short term" mean?
