Local Illinois Prosecutor : Gun laws ‘unconstitutional,’ some will not be charged

The Pantagraph reports:

McLean County could become an island of concealed carry for gun owners in a state that does not allow weapons to be carried in public, according to new guidelines for prosecuting gun crimes announced Tuesday by State’s Attorney Ron Dozier.

Jason Chambers, the man who is expected to take over when Dozier leaves the office in October called the policy shift “reckless.”

In a four-page statement, Dozier said his office will not file charges against law-abiding citizens who possess weapons.

“We will no longer use the power and authority of our office to criminalize and punish decent otherwise law-abiding citizens who chose to exercise their rights granted under them by the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution to keep and bear arms in defense of themselves and their families,” said Dozier’s statement.

Heh.
