Banned shotguns in Cook Co.
Read in the paper todaythat they banned all shotguns that hold up to 5 shells with a fixed magazine but also says that common semiauto shotguns were banned as wellin Cook co. Illinois. It also said that if you were to have any of these firearms you had to turn the into the police or just get them out of the county. Of coarse there was a grace period givin to the people to get the guns out of the county but for those who turned them into the police did they get any money for there guns or just have to hand them over does any one know? Does anyone have anymore info. on this?

ISRA Press Release: Illinois State Rifle Association Takes Action Against Cook County Gun Ban CHICAGO, Feb. 21 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following was released today by the Illinois State Rifle Association (ISRA): The ISRA announced today that it is seeking injunctive relief against a gun ban recently enacted by the Cook County Board. In filing its complaint with the Cook County Circuit Court, the ISRA is asserting that compliance with the vaguely-worded ordinance would be impossible for most citizens of Cook County and, further, the method by which the ban was passed violated the Illinois Open Meetings Act. On November 14, 2006, the Cook County Board passed an amendment to the existing Cook County Deadly Weapons Dealers Control Ordinance which seeks to ban the sale, possession and transfer of a variety of popular hunting and sporting firearms. The amendment, authored by Commissioner Larry Suffredin, had been tabled in July of 2005 by the Board. "In light of the circumstances under which this amendment was passed, the ISRA felt it was important that action be taken to halt its implementation," said ISRA Executive Director, Richard Pearson. "We are disappointed that the Cook County Board chose to pass this ordinance without benefit of public debate -- especially when its provisions impact such a large number of Cook County residents. In addition to the questionable procedures under which it was passed, the ordinance is so poorly worded that few, if any, firearm owners in the county would be certain that they were in compliance with its requirements." "We are confident that the Cook County Circuit Court will recognize the shortcomings of this ordinance and grant the firearm owners of Cook County an injunction against its implementation," continued Pearson. "The ISRA and the firearm owners of Cook County are second to none in their desire to eradicate violent crime. However, we do not believe that law abiding firearm owners should take it on the chin in the process. The ISRA and its members stand ready to provide advice and guidance to the Cook County Board in the development of meaningful legislation that will fight violent crime while preserving the rights of law-abiding citizens who choose to own firearms." The ISRA is the state's leading advocate of safe, lawful, and responsible firearms ownership. Since 1903, the ISRA has represented the interests of over 1.5 million law-abiding Illinois firearm owners. This press release is posted on US Newswire. Posted Wed Feb 21 15:51:55 CST 2007 |

Sounds like the ISRA makes some valid points against the Cook County Board.Hopefully they'll get a grant for injunction against the ordinance. |

RE: Banned shotguns in Cook Co.
Good Point - but nobody said anything about coming into somebodys home to get your guns.That kind of talk is exactly what these folks are lookin for.Then they can say - See I told you so.
That's why we/gun owners/sportsman have orgs like ISRA among others.Looks to me the ISRA caught the county board with there britches down around there ankles. |

RE: Banned shotguns in Cook Co.
I know there not going to homes and taking guns…. Yet!!! The ban on those shotguns is ridicules. I didn’t go into the Marines and do two tours of Iraq, too give up my second amendment. Just read a NRA mag. every once in a while. The anti gun people are attacking are every right to own and bare arms. Criminals that miss use weapons of any kind are not hunters or sportsman.

ORIGINAL: hammerman Who the hek said anything about comin into somebodys home and takin YOUR guns.Listen up and maybe you'll learn something. Who do you register your guns with? Local police?, County Sheriffs?, or State Police? I have lived in Illinois my whole life and have never registered a gun with anybody, and they have all been purchased legally through dealers and private parties. I held a Federal Firearms License for three years too. Again, no registry except for the federal form that must be filled out when buying a gun from a licensed dealer. The federal form is held by the dealer, your gun is not registered except the serial number is on the form. Now, that being said. Chicago has not allowed handguns to be registered since 1980 or so. If you registered your handguns in Chicago what you said could be true. Good Hunting, Bowflex |
RE: Banned shotguns in Cook Co.
Sorry guys! You're right I should have said in Chicago and some surrounding cities you have to register any gun from my understanding. I have a friend that moved here from Wisconsin but won't bring his guns down because he has to register all of them if he wants to be legal.

RE: Banned shotguns in Cook Co.
Cook County just keeps coming up with ways to screw Sportsmen. This ban would get me extremely pissed off, but I think a lot of people wouldn't follow it. I already break down my shotgun when I bring it to my car to go hunting, everyone thinks it is a guitar anyways. I live in the wrigleyville/Lincoln Park/Old Town area and during Deer season I can be seen once or twice with a Deer on the roof of my SUV bringing it back to my townhome. When I stop to show it to my friends at a few bars or restaurants, you know who are the first people to come up and shake my hands, Cops. I have many friends that are Chicago Cops that I know and hunt with and all of them say If you have your Shotgun in your car and your hunting gear, you probably would not have to worry. Take the Handgun ban for instance in Chicago. They have been banned for years in the city, but out of the many hunting friends thatI know that have handguns and the hunting friends that they know that have handguns and so on, I have never heard of one person having there guns confiscated. These laws are made to make voters feel good, but if your not a thug or walking around showing your guns off to your neighbors, the cops aren't going to come and seize your guns. Plus, if someone breaks into my house, Im not going try to fend them off with a kitchen knife when all these thugs already have pistols. My families lives mean more than Daley making a political statement. I may move all but one gun to the suburbs during the offseason, but my shotguns are staying put from September to January and one is staying year round. Some may not like this, but im sorry, Im telling the truth for everyone I know. Cops know who they want to take guns from and honest people who hunt are people they are not going to bother. I come from a family of cops and this is how everyone feels. Also, only 7 months until Bow season opens!!!

Here's some more info on the gun laws . There is no state preemption of firearm laws, with the result that some localities have outlawed the possession of handguns. This includes the Chicago suburbs of Winnetka,[2] Wilmette,[3] Morton Grove,[4] Evanston,[5] and Oak Park.[6] Highland Park also prohibits handguns, unless the resident has obtained a permit from the police.[7] Some municipalities, most notably Chicago, require that all firearms be registered with the local police department. Chicago does not allow the registration of handguns, which has the effect of outlawing their possession, unless they were grandfathered in by being registered before 1982.[8] Additionally, Cook County has banned assault weapons and magazines with the capacity to accept more than ten rounds of ammunition.[9] Other municipalities have also enacted various firearm restrictions.[10] Lack of preemption makes it difficult to travel throughout Illinois with a firearm while being sure that no laws are being broken |
RE: Banned shotguns in Cook Co.
And if you live in Chicago (Cook County) and registyered your shotgun like a good citizen, the county now knows where these firearms areif the choose to check registrations. This is why registration is a joke!

ORIGINAL: fastetti Plus, if someone breaks into my house, Im not going try to fend them off with a kitchen knife when all these thugs already have pistols. To me, there lies the biggest problem! If you kill an intruder, who can blame you right? Wrong, they will be more than happy to charge you with illegal usage/posession of a firearm. It happened in Winnetka a few years ago. A man broke into a house and took everything. A few months later, he returned and the homeowner was home.The homeownershot him and he was charged! Now, because of the way this new lawcan be interpreted,we will have the same thing happening with most shotguns and rifles. |

In addition, the law does away with an earlier requirement that a person attacked in a public place must retreat if possible. Now, that same person, in the law?s words, ?has no duty to retreat and has the right to stand his or her ground and meet force with force, including deadly force.? The law also forbids the arrest, detention or prosecution of the people covered by the law, and it prohibits civil suits against them. |
RE: Banned shotguns in Cook Co.
It's the same way here Reb. You have the right to kill the intruder. What I'm saying is if you shoot someone with a gun that has been banned or can be considered banned by some vague law, you then can be charged with possession ofthis gun.
He was'nt charged with murder, but he was charged for the gun. |
