Hard to say, Carol... The handgun law that they knocked out was DC's where there is a certain level of federal oversight... Chicago's is very similar to the one that DC had with the exception of the federal oversight...

I mean, this is going to be tricky for the SC to say on one hand that states have the power to opt out or to not permit mandatory participation but on the other saying that the federal governement can, in essence, say to states that they cannot have their own gun laws???

I really never gave this much thought until I heard someone on NPR recently bring it up and started thinking about it and reading a couple articles on it... It's a delimma for them... If the 2nd Ammendment is that easy then, in essence, they are saying that the federal governement is "da man"... Having the federal governement be "da man" rubs the righties big time...

I donno how this is going to turn out but it's gonna be an interesting case...
