Judge rejects gun shop owner's request for restraining order on Naperville ordinance banning sale of certain rifles
Virginia Kendall, a judge in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, issued the ruling Friday in the lawsuit brought by Robert Bevis, owner of Law Weapons and Supply in Naperville, and the National Association for Gun Rights against the city of Naperville and Police Chief Jason Arres.
Gov. J.B. Pritzker subsequently signed a similar bill into law last month. Arres then was added to the lawsuit by the plaintiffs to block enforcement of the local and state laws within city limits. The Naperville City Council passed an ordinance in August prohibiting the sale of certain high-powered rifles within city limits to anyone except for law enforcement officers and members of the military, including the Illinois National Guard.
