Greg Bishop of Bishop on Air covered attorney Tom DeVore’s latest lawsuit. Bazooka Tom’s firing away again at Pritzker and the Dem’s precious gun ban law. And his angle of attack? Brilliant. Using their own laws against them.
But that’s what happens when you have idiots who wrote this crap.
SPOILER: The law
EXEMPTION:
(1) Peace officers, as defined in Section 2-13 of this
Code.
What is Section 2-13?
(720 ILCS 5/2-13) (from Ch. 38, par. 2-13)
Sec. 2-13. "Peace officer". "Peace officer" means (i) any person who by virtue of his office or public employment is vested by law with a duty to maintain public order or to make arrests for offenses, whether that duty extends to all offenses or is limited to specific offenses, or (ii) any person who, by statute, is granted and authorized to exercise powers similar to those conferred upon any peace officer employed by a law enforcement agency of this State.
And guess who has been, by statute, granted and authorized to exercise powers similar to those conferred upon a peace officer?
(725 ILCS 5/107-3) (from Ch. 38, par. 107-3)
Sec. 107-3. Arrest by private person.
Any person may arrest another when he has reasonable grounds to believe that an offense other than an ordinance violation is being committed.
