Diggins & McDade: The Two Cases Every Illinois Gun Owner Must Know - Illinois gun Laws

Why These Landmark Decisions Still Matter — and What They Mean for You - Illinois gun laws

Firearm ownership comes with rights, responsibilities, and—unfortunately—a lot of misinformation. In Illinois, two court cases have shaped how lawful gun owners can transport firearms in their vehicles: People v. Diggins and People v. McDade. If you have a FOID card, if you carry concealed, or if you’re simply committed to responsible gun ownership, these cases matter more than you may realize.

Most people don't get arrested because they’re dangerous. Most people get arrested because no one ever trained them.

That’s why these cases are essential reading—and why I dedicated a full episode of On the Mic with Mike to breaking them down in plain language. Click the picture below!
