The state of Illinois and the city of Naperville have until Wednesday to respond to the U.S. Supreme court as to why a preliminary injunction against the state’s gun and magazine ban shouldn’t be issued. Months before lawsuits were filed against the state’s gun ban, Robert Bevis of Law Weapons out of Naperville sued the city over their gun ban. He amended his complaint to include Illinois’ after the state enacted its ban. After the federal appeals court sided with gun bans, Bevis was successful in getting U.S. Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett to docket his challenge Thursday. The defendants have until Dec. 6 to respond. Bevis is hopeful for a preliminary injunction as his business is struggling.
Representing Bevis, National Foundation for Gun Rights Executive Director Hannah Hill said Barrett could on her own issue a temporary injunction.
Other challenges against Illinois’ gun law remain in federal district and appeals courts.
