Madigan asks full appeals court to consider concealed carry ban case
(MCT) — Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan has filed a petition asking the full 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to review a December ruling that struck down the state's ban on carrying concealed handguns in public.
The move is aimed at reversing the decision by a three-judge panel of the court, which ruled 2-1 that the state's longtime prohibition violated the U.S. Constitution's Second Amendment. If the court accepts the petition, the case would be reheard by 10 active appellate judges.
