About 2,100 more Illinois citizens are now safe from the state enforcing Illinois’ gun ban against them after a third temporary restraining order was issued Wednesday. Macon County Judge Rodney Forbes heard the case in Decatur Friday brought by state Rep. Dan Caulkins, Decatur Jewelry & Antiques and around 2,100 other plaintiffs in the group “Law-Abiding Gun Owners of Macon County.” From the capitol in Springfield Wednesday, Caulkins celebrated the TRO and said it’s the first step in a continued legal fight.
This marks the third limited order issued against the gun and magazine ban in state court. The Illinois Attorney General has already indicated they will request the Illinois Supreme Court review previous restraining orders but didn’t immediately respond Wednesday. There are also several pending lawsuits filed in federal court.
