[QUOTE="Old Fart, post: 2471932, member: 4899"] The Chicago Sun-Times is reporting that Chicago has had its first arrest of a concealed-carry permit holder. Illinois in January became the last U.S. state to allow permit holders to carry concealed weapons, while Chicagos municipal handgun ban was struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2010. State bans were outlawed following 2008′s District of Columbia v. Heller. Writing for the majority in the high courts D.C. v. Heller decision, Justice Antonin Scalia characterized the Washington, D.C., ban on handguns as well as a trigger-lock requirement as in violation of the Second Amendment before adding that, [l]ike most rights, the Second Amendment right is not unlimited. In 2010′s McDonald v. Chicago, the court, in an opinion by Justice Samuel Alito, employed the due-process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment in determining that a municipality could not abridge a residents Second Amendment rights. The first Chicago arrest of a permit holder came last weekend, the Sun-Times reported, when a 54-year-old man in a placid section of the citys far northwest side allegedly pointed his weapon at a 52-year-old man in a quarrel over rent payment.
