A decent, current synopsis is here: http://www.handgunlaw.us/states/illinois.pdf.

Thanks for the great list to help me understand some of the most creative gun laws in the country.

Despite the unfortunate name, that's one of the greatest crime stat presentation sites I've ever seen. Charts rule. However, I'm concerned that its presentation is slanted by providing incomplete criminal related injuries for comparison.

• Featured: Gun related injury w/o death
• Featured: Gun related injury w/ death
• Ignored: Non-gun related injury w/o death
• Mentioned: Non-gun related injury w/ death

Still a fun site.

Anyone have a quick overview of the current gun laws in Chicago?

My recollection was that Chicago had a de facto ban on the individual ownership of handguns until 2010 when the Supreme Court incorporated the Second Amendment against the states (McDonald v. City of Chicago). I didn't follow the case back to the 7th Cir. to see the actual impact of the SCOTUS ruling.

Seems like there is a potential argument for gun-grabbers to say, "See what the Second Amendment has done to Chicago?" Makes me cringe.
