What do Illinois state laws say about guns at protests and in interactions with officers? Does possession of a firearm around a federal immigration agent put someone at greater risk for violence? The Chicago Sun-Times asked experts and gun rights advocates to weigh in.

A 15-year-old boy in the UK was shot and stabbed to death in broad daylight…in a country that supposedly “doesn’t have gun violence.”So I went down the rabbi...

Why was Holly on school property with her concealed tuh curry?!

Well, she was not. That subsection — the “within 1,000 feet of a school, park, courthouse, or public housing” clause of Illinois state law— was struck down by the Illinois Supreme Court as unconstitutional.
• People v. Chairez, 2018 IL 121417 invalidated the 1,000-foot park restriction.
• People v. Green, 2021 IL 125005 extended the same logic to the 1,000-foot school restriction.

As of those decisions, the 1,000-foot enhancement no longer exists for schools in Illinois.
Only possession on actual school property remains prohibited (see 720 ILCS 5/24-1(a)(4), 105 ILCS 5/10-22.6, and 430 ILCS 66/65(a)(1)).

So the claim that Illinois “makes it unlawful to possess … within 1,000 feet of school grounds” is legally outdated by several years.
