From your non-answer to my question it appears as if those who registered the handguns were allowed to keep them which was my belief.
While I am no supporter of this ordinance and don't see how the City has the authority to pass it, your ending statements are false. There are gunshops and ranges within easy driving distance from the City so lay off the exaggerated rhetoric. It does not help your case.
And there have been numerous cases where "illegal" handguns are used for self protection with no prosecution following (other than taking the gun.)
The answer is implied and obvious in what I said.
"your ending statements are false."
Nah.
"There are ...ranges within easy driving distance from the City so lay off the exaggerated rhetoric.
Name them and include a rough number for distance. Make sure you include those that are open to non club members, since the size of the waiting lists are huge, if it's an affordable membership.
"There are gunshops and ranges within easy driving distance from the City so lay off the exaggerated rhetoric."
No gunshop will sell a handgun to someone with a Chicago @. No gunshop will sell handgun ammo to someone with a Chicago @ on a FOID.
"And there have been numerous cases where "illegal" handguns are used for self protection with no prosecution following (other than taking the gun.)"
Old ladies generally get this sort of treatment. Others pay an arm and a leg for attys. Regardless, those folks that live there, have been effecitvely denied their right to an effective self defense. This particularly effective self defense is also a crime to mount.
