Madigan<\/i>, challenging the State of Illinois&#8217;s ban on all forms of carry. Their release on it is below. Let me say this &#8211; no grass grows under their legal feet!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>BELLEVUE, WA \u2013 Capitalizing on its federal appeals court victory Wednesday in Ezell v. City of Chicago, the Second Amendment Foundation today moved for a preliminary injunction against the State of Illinois to prevent further enforcement of that state\u2019s prohibitions on firearms carry in public by law-abiding citizens.<\/p>\n<p>The motion was filed in U.S. District Court for the Central District of Illinois in Springfield. Joining SAF in this motion are Illinois Carry and four private citizens, Michael Moore, Charles Hooks, Peggy Fechter and Jon Maier. The underlying case is known as Moore v. Madigan.<\/p>\n<p>Illinois is the only state in the nation with such prohibitions. The state neither allows open carry or concealed carry, which runs afoul of recent U.S. Supreme Court Second Amendment rulings, including last year\u2019s landmark ruling in McDonald v. City of Chicago, another SAF case. SAF was represented in McDonald and Ezell by attorney Alan Gura, who noted after yesterday\u2019s appeals court win \u2013 forcing a temporary injunction against the city\u2019s ban on gun ranges that the city immediately changed after the decision was announced \u2013 that \u201cEven Chicago politicians must respect the people\u2019s fundamental civil rights\u2026Gun rights are coming to Chicago. The only question is how much the city\u2019s intransigence will cost taxpayers along the way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow that the Seventh Circuit has recognized that the deprivation of the right of armed self-defense is an inherently irreparable injury, it is clear that Illinois\u2019 law-abiding gun owners are entitled to a protective injunction,\u201d said attorney David Jensen of New York, who, along with Glen Ellyn, IL attorney David Sigale, is representing SAF and the other plaintiffs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYesterday\u2019s win was a wake-up call to Chicago,\u201d said SAF Executive Vice President Alan Gottlieb. \u201cToday\u2019s motion is a signal to the Illinois Legislature that the state\u2019s total ban on carrying of firearms for personal protection is counter to both Supreme Court rulings on the Second Amendment, and yesterday\u2019s ruling by the Seventh Circuit appeals panel that shredded Chicago\u2019s gun ordinance. Our victory Wednesday and today\u2019s motion are key components of SAF\u2019s overall mission to win back firearms freedoms one lawsuit at a time.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Second Amendment Foundation filed for a preliminary injunction today in their case, Moore v.
