Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Second Amendment
Aggravated Unlawful Use of a Weapon (AUUW) statute does not violate second amendment right to bear arms for self-defense. State has a valid interest in preventing felons from possessing firearms. Court properly considered whether Defendant's prior convictions fell within 10-year limitation period of convictions admitted to attack credibility. Prior drug-related convictions may be admissible and probative a a witness' credibility in appropriate circumstances.(SIMON and PIERCE, concurring.)
