Illinois Supreme Court hears case challenging state's concealed carry licenses' constitutionality.

The Illinois Supreme Court is hearing arguments on the constitutionality of the state's concealed carry licenses and open carry bans. Tyshon Thompson challenged the concealed carry law as unconstitutional, citing the U.S. Supreme Court's Bruen decision, which deemed may-issue licenses unconstitutional. The state argues the law is shall-issue and thus constitutional. The case could impact how local governments regulate concealed carry permits statewide.
