Wilmette, IL moves to repeal gun ban

Wilmette, IL takes the first steps to repeal its gun ban in the wake of the Supreme Court's Heller ruling.

WILMETTE, Ill. (WBBM) - Quietly, in the wake of last month's Supreme Court decision on gun ownership, the village board in north suburban Wilmette has taken the first step toward repealing its handgun ban.
...
When WBBM asked Village President Chris Canning after the meeting if he had heard any impassioned arguments for or against keeping it since the Supreme Court's ruling, he said he had not.

“I've probably received less than a dozen e-mails on the subject,” Canning said. “Most have been in favor of repealing the ordinance because our ordinance is inconsistent with the Heller (Supreme Court) decision.”

Hopefully, some of the other smaller towns with gun bans will follow suit, although they may need some, um, encouragement from some lawyers.
