    So what happens if both sides agree that there is nothing that can be done to satisfy the state's requirements? They surely can't come back and use the same scrutiny they used in this case.

    Case is over. Plaintiffs lose.

    Panel is Manion (Reagan, who voted for Culp last time), Hamilton (Obama), and newly Trump appointed Scudder. I'm optimistic.

    Well, I think you pretty much called it. Oral arguments are here: http://media.ca7.uscourts.gov/sound/external/sk.17-2998.17-2998_09_20_2018.mp3

    A disaster IMO. What I don't understand is why plaintiffs are getting pulled into all the minutiae of the IL laws. There's a ban on carry for the residents of 45 states. That should be the end of it right there. What am I missing?

    BTW-looks like Trump missed badly on Michael Scudder on the 7th Circuit.

    A loss at the 7th Circuit. I didn't see any mention of scrutiny, exc., merely that if IL can't "monitor" non-residents adequately, then a ban on residents of 45 states is OK.
    It's almost like this wasn't even a 2A case, merely a rational basis test for the IL CCW law.

    When Scalia said "the right is not unlimited," he did not mean "every limit on the right is constitutional," which is the way these people have been interpreting it.
