Illinois bans people with concealed carry licenses from carrying concealed while riding mass transit. A federal judge issue a very limited overturning of that rule, which was appealed. Now the lawyers are lying about a crime, because they have no place else to stand. State lawyers apologize to federal judge for linking his gun ruling to CTA quadruple murder - CWB Chicago
Three sleeping homeless people were murdered on Chicago transit. The Lawyers for the state blamed that crime on the judge's ruling, which is on its face, ridiculous.
The judge wanted to discuss their statements with them.
Johnston ordered the author of that passage to appear in his court to answer questions.
“For example – and by no way of limitation – counsel should be prepared to articulate the reasonable inquiry that was made to determine if the suspect in the CTAs Blue Line shooting possessed a concealed carry permit, and if so, whether he brought the gun onto CTA property to protect himself,” Johnston wrote. “Moreover, counsel should explain the reasonable inquiry as to how the suspect was protecting himself from the sleeping homeless people when he allegedly shot them.”
At which point, the lawyers in question went into backpedaling mode.
The truth is, that while the governor of The People's Republic of Illinois wants to keep law-abiding citizens from being armed, the criminals ARE armed on public transit. They always have been. News Flash: Criminals don't follow the law.
Just put up a sign saying "Gun Free Zone" and see how effective it is. (In the parody that is the State of Illinois, they believe that works.)
