7th Circuit Court of Appeals

Case Name: Kevin W. Culp et al v. Lisa Madigan, et al

Case No.: 15-3738

Officials: BAUER, POSNER, and MANION, Circuit Judges.

Focus: 2nd Amendment Rights – Concealed Carry

The plaintiffs in this case, nonresidents of Illinois each of whom has a concealed-carry license from his home state, travel to Illinois whether on business or for family or other reasons and want, while they are in Illinois, to be allowed to carry a firearm even if they are not within the exceptions to the restrictions on nonresident gun carrying just listed, but are not allowed to do so because they aren’t residents of states that have firearm laws substantially similar to Illinois’. They argue that Illinois’ refusal to issue concealed-carry licenses to them violates Article IV of, and the Second and Fourteenth Amendments to, the Constitution. The district judge declined to issue a preliminary injunction, precipitating this appeal.
