Morton Grove to watch state gun laws after settlement
October 6, 2008

The village will continue to keep its handgun ordinance in line with state law after a U.S. District Court judge accepted a settlement in a lawsuit against Morton Grove by the National Rifle Association.
The suit was filed June 27 shortly after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a Washington D.C. case that homeowners have a right to own handguns for protection. The suit was filed on behalf of the NRA and three local members, Patrick Kansoer, Donald Sonne and Jessica Sonne and sought to overturn the village's 27-year-old handgun ban.
But after trustees repealed the ban in Late July the NRA agreed to the settlement and dismissed its suit. Under the settlement each side paid its own attorney's fees.

POLITICIANS & DIAPERS NEED TO BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON
A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.
I remain pessimistic given the way BATF and the anti gun crowd have become tape worms in the guts of the Republic. - toad
