Mayor Rahm Emanuel will introduce an ordinance next week to allow gun ranges to operate in Chicago.
To obtain a gun permit in Chicago, residents must now travel to a suburban gun range to complete a mandated firearms training course.
The city is currently facing a federal lawsuit saying the city’s ban of gun ranges in the city has created a burden for those seeking a Chicago gun permit.
The new ordinance should address the concerns raised in the lawsuit, officials say.
The NRA and their lawyers are still owed many millions of dollars for their victorious lawsuits over Chicago's illegal and unconstitutional gun ban. They have also filed suits challenging the ordinances passed by Shortshanks and the City Council, and they'll be winning those in short order. Our friends in the NRA tell us of one plan to have the city turn over one or more vacant schools for a "gun education" center and indoor range.
Anyone want to speculate on how much of $30 million Rahm wouldn't have to ask for in union concessions if Chicago stopped fighting lawsuits that they know they are going to lose?
