Daley's response to the Supreme Court

Recommended Posts

He didn't take very long.

The new gun control ordinance will require gun owners to get training, register all weapons with the city, and have only one gun unlocked at a time,.

The proposal also bars anyone from carrying a handgun outside the home, and requires gun owners to train a minimum of one hour on a gun range and four hours in the classroom.

The AP article mentioned no gun stores would be allowed in the city, and that outside the home included your porch and garage. A proposal to limit to a single gun was nixed, but the typical one per month is part of it.

Issues this presents:
1) are there available gun ranges in a city that won't allow any gun shops? If not accessible, this is one of those indirect bans.
2) No idea what 4 hours of classroom would entail. Again, question of how this would be made available. CA has a training/test requirement on par with the DMV for a driver's license - take a 30-40 question multiple choice test. It's usually taken at the gun shop where you would purchase the weapon.
3) the text of inside the house would likely be challenged if it doesn't allow you to be armed in your garage or elsewhere on your property. Its goal sounds like it would be related to castle doctrine so you couldn't go after robbers in your garage, but the end result is likely to be too broad.
4) one gun unlocked at a time is equally suspect, though many cities (Hello SF) have laws saying all must be locked. Ignored universally, and also being challenged in the aftermath of Heller.

I thought this was merely a press conference, but he does want it voted on tomorrow, so more lawsuits may be filed as early as Monday.
