This is a hijack ongoing in the "shitcago" thread, but really the issue is bigger than just the current crime problem in Chicago.
The 7th Circuit, in a 2 to 1 decision in Moore vs Madigan, has just told Chicago that the second amendment must be applied outside the home. Chicago's position had been that it only applies within the actual residence, not the porch or garage.
My question for the reasonable gun controllers around here who at least claim to believe the second amendment is OK:
Do you believe it should apply outside of homes at all? Or do we only have a right to bear arms within our residences?
I'm interested in whether the porch or garage would be OK, but I assume most of you will agree it is. Maybe I assume too much, so please correct me if you are on Chicago's side of that one.
How about off your property? Should we have second amendment rights when out in public?
