Dist. Ct. did not err in denying plaintiffs-non-residents’ motion for issuance of preliminary injunction in action alleging that Illinois Concealed Carry Act violated their Second Amendment rights by denying them ability to carry firearms in Illinois because, although they have concealed carry licenses from their home states, they are not residents of states that have firearm laws substantially similar to Illinois Concealed Carry Act as required by said Act. Plaintiffs failed to show any entitlement to preliminary injunction since, unlike applications from Illinois residents, plaintiffs failed to establish how Illinois state police would be able to verify information contained in their applications or how they would be able to obtain updated information about non-resident applicants in order to monitor them throughout five-year period of license. (Dissent filed.)
