Good luck in your research. Please add me to your ping list.

What we need is a straight-out Second Amendment suit, brought by someone who wanted to carry a firearm in Chicago but was denied the right to do so. If the Ashcroft Justice Department was inclined to file in support, we might have something . . .

One was filed within the last 10-14 days by a wheelchair bound handicaped man who has been mugged about a dozen times. I'll ping you later with the thread.

Quick enough?

IL CCW lawsuit brought against Mayor Daley and Chicago by handicap resident.

The Internal Affairs Division probe could result in a standard response time being set for such calls, as well as a new policy requiring 911 call-takers to dispatch a police car while questioning a victim calling to report an order of protection violation, said Leslie Landis, Mayor Daley's domestic violence liaison.

Since Daley says you don't need to protect yourself in Chicago, I wonder why this isn't already being done? I'm surprised the local media even reports this.
