The Gun Report: January 10, 2014 A federal judge has ruled that it is unconstitutional to prohibit licensed gun stores from operating in Chicago, the epicenter of the nation's gun violence. The ruling would also make it legal for adults to transfer ownership of a firearm through a private sale as long as the recipient has a firearm owner's identification card. Chicago was the last city to allow residents to have handguns in their homes, and perhaps with good reason: In recent years the city has recorded more homicides than New York City and Los Angeles, most of them committed with handguns. Overall, there were 2,328 shooting victims in Chicago between 2012 and 2013; this, in a city with a population of 2.7 million. This latest ruling came one day after Illinois, the last state to approve a concealed carry law, began accepting applications from residents who want to carry concealed firearms in public. The judge delayed his ruling from taking effect to allow the city time to appeal.
