Felons are prohibited from obtaining city gun permits, but residents who meet all of the city requirements and live with a felon will be able to get one, Weis said.
Now I may be wrong, but wouldn’t it be illegal for the felon to live somewhere where guns are stored? That whole felon-in-possession thing?

That’s probably what the city wants. After the non-felon gets the gun, the cops can come arrest the felon for possession and the non-felon for providing a gun to a felon – which is probably a felony itself, so they can get one more person permanently banned from owning a firearm.
Chicago is going to do everything they possibly can, including making every resident possible a felon if they have to, to defy the McDonald decision.
It’s like Richard Daley and the City Council actively hate their constituents. This goes beyond simple contempt and is more like passive-aggressive hate.
“Yer honor, as an experiment, when we drove to court this morning, we didn’t feed the parking meter. An associate has informed me the po-po meter maid who’s too fat to grab her ass with both hands responded within 8 minutes.
“We pray the court realizes the intolerable damages for waiting five months for the government to respond and issue a similarly sized piece of paper.”

5 months – until a court negates the regulatory scheme. And orders the city to pay for plaintiff’s attorney fees. Again.

I recall that noted Watergate felon G. Gordon Liddy transferred his firearms to his wife’s ownership.

Half month quicker than when I got my NY state permit.
Although, maybe gun companies can create firearms that are .49 cal to skirt the Chicago law.

Yeah, you’re just now noticing this?

I left while it still looked just like simple contempt, Kirk.
