Sussex County Va Backs Down On Shooting Range Infringement For Now

Virginia Citizens Defense League

Virginia - -(AmmoLand.com)- As we reported earlier Sussex County VA was to Voting On Restricting Shooting Ranges. About 25 gun owners showed up at the Sussex Board of Supervisors meeting last night.

Everyone who spoke, spoke in opposition to the proposed ordinance that would require special use permits for shooting ranges.

Many of the Board did not seem enthusiastic about the ordinance. In the end they rejected the wording defining what a pistol range was and sent the issue back to the planning commission.

We may have to go out there one more time in the future for the whole concept to be put to rest, but I think if we keep the pressure up, the proposed ordinance will be defeated.

Supreme Court Brief Filed In Lawsuit Against Handgun Ban

IllinoisCarry.com

Bellevue, WA - -(AmmoLand.com)-We are very excited to see the Second Amendment Foundation joined by the Illinois State Rifle Assocciation on the behalf of four Chicago residents submitted its brief in the U.S. Supreme Court case McDonald vs Chicago.

The brief was prepared by attorney Alan Gura who was also the attorney for the widely known Heller case which successfully challenged the Washington D.C. handgun ban last year.

The brief is available for viewing and downloading at ChicagoGunCase.com. The brief presents an excellent and compelling argument as to why the Second Amendment should be incorporated into the states. Many Second Amendment supporters will find the brief easy to read and comprehend. It has been said by some IllinoisCarry members who have read it to cause “goosebumps” in its scope, clarity, and purpose.

Oral arguments are expected to be heard early next year and perhaps a ruling by mid-year. The restoration of the Second Amendment rights of Illinois citizens will be greatly affected by the ruling in this case and we shall continue to watch future developments very closely.
