Despite a court ruling that found Illinois’s ban on carrying concealed weapons to be unconstitutional, Sangamon County’s top prosecutor says that ban remains on the books for now and will be enforced until that changes.
John Milhiser is still pursuing charges against a man who is challenging his arrest on weapons charges, based on that appeals court ruling late last year. But the appeals court issued a stay of its order to give lawmakers time to craft a concealed carry law.
Milhiser says he looks forward to the day that such a law is on the books in Illinois, but says until then he will enforce the law as written.
