Just heard on WBBM AM 780, Winnetka repealed their 20 year old handgun ban oin a unanimous vote. Apparently a lot of residents wanted to keep it in place, but the board did not want to risk lawsuits based on Heller vs. DC ruling.

Thank goodness. They are at least aware now.

About time.

They've been promising to do so for months.

The NRA just filed suit.

Got them to act, I assume the suit will now be dropped.

Let's continue to wait as Chicago fall further into deficit. Then, when they are really broke, have the NRA file suit.

Then Chicago will fall as well.

Like I said earlier, it will be like dominoes.

Hopefully Aurora will get the clue and repeal their local "AWB"...

Not holding my breath.

And the news guy on CLTV just said that it is now legal for Winnetka residents to carry hand guns.

More misleading information from the media.
