An attorney challenging Illinois’ gun and magazine ban argues a county judge erred in dismissing the case. Attorney Thomas DeVore had the case Accuracy Firearms, where he secured thousands of temporary restraining orders keeping plaintiffs safe from being subject to enforcement. Following the dismissal by the Illinois Supreme Court last month of a separate case from state Rep. Dan Caulkins, DeVore’s case was dismissed by an Effingham County judge.
DeVore filed a motion to reconsider in Effingham County, saying he can prove the law violates equal protections by exempting certain classes such as police and retired police.
The state has until next month to respond with a possible hearing sometime in November.
