Illinois quick hits: Judge denies gun ban challenge as another is pending

Judge denies gun ban challenge as another is pending

A federal district judge has denied a motion for partial summary judgment against Illinois’ gun ban. A separate motion for a delay in the Jan. 1 registry requirement is still pending. On Thursday, Judge Stephen McGlynn denied a motion plaintiffs sought to block the law on vagueness grounds. That case was heard in October. The separate case to delay the registration deadline heard last week in district court remains under advisement with a ruling expected soon.
