Currently museums in Chicago are not able to display historically significant unloaded firearms they have in their collections.

A bill has been introduced to change that.

Hmm, I wonder if the guns they have in their collections currently comply with the law.

It would create the museum loophole.

"I don’t know if someone's going to find ammo for a German handgun from World War II all that readily," Clarke said, referring to the Levine's pistol Burke highlighted Wednesday.

The gun in question is a Walther PP.

Yeah, it's pretty hard to find .32 ACP these days.

"Is Chicago softening its stance on guns?"

Um, not so much. Altho this link does not address the museum issue, this cop-blog in Chicago shows you how Rahmburg is viewing handguns with the deadline for allowing concealed carry in the state coming up:

You probably can't get ammo for these anymore. I mean if I have to toss my iphone in 2 years, you don't possible think some pistol from WWII or WWI will still work, right?
