Description
This case involves the constitutional validity of two Chicago ordinances regulating the possession of firearms and requiring
their registration. Three individuals and a sporting goods store brought suit in the circuit court of Cook County to enjoin
the City and its officials from enforcing them. On motion of defendants the complaint was stricken and the cause dismissed.
Plaintiffs appeal. The ordinances became effective April 15, 1968, and appear as Chapters 11.1 and 11.2 of the Municipal Code of Chicago. Chapter
11.1 pertains to the registration of firearms. It requires detailed records to be kept when a firearm is sold or given away,
including full identification of the firearm as well as the person to whom it is sold or given. A registration form must
be completed and mailed to the office of the city collector within 48 hours. Persons who have acquired their firearms prior
to the date of the ordinances are also required to register possession. The city collector is then to forward to the possessor
or purchaser a registration certificate with full identifying information, which must be carried with the firearm and exhibited
on request of any police officer. Certain classes of persons are declared ineligible to register, including minors under 18-years-of-age,
narcotic addicts, felons, and mental defectives, and all such persons are forbidden to have firearms. Chapter 11.2, relating
to the possession of guns, makes it unlawful for any person to carry a rifle, shotgun, or other firearm except in his home
or place of business. The chapter is made inapplicable to peace officers and other authorized classes enumerated therein.
