Springfield, IL-(Effingham Radio)- With one ruling against Illinois’ gun ban on the books, more action in the courts is expected in the days and weeks ahead.
Attorney Thomas DeVore on Friday celebrated a temporary restraining order from an Effingham County court against the state enforcing the gun ban on his 860-plus clients.
Before the restraining order was issued Friday, Pritzker downplayed the idea of lower courts making rulings, equating it to legal wrangling over his COVID-19 mandates last year. Pritzker and legislative leaders said to expect an appeal in the Effingham County case.
There are other pending cases. One state-level case is in Crawford County. That awaits a judge assignment. A federal case in the Southern District of Illinois has yet to schedule a hearing.
