Case Number: 
2015 IL App (1st) 140234
Decision Date: 
Monday, October 19, 2015
District: 
1st Dist.
Division/County: 
Cook Co., 1st Div.
Holding: 
Affirmed.
Justice: 
LIU
Defendant was convicted, after bench trial, of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon (AUUW). The Class 2 form of Section 24-1.6(a)(1), (a)(3)(A) of the AUUW statute does not violate the second amendment and survives the Illinois Supreme Court's 2013 decision in Aguilar. As no sentence was imposed on Defendant's other AUUW convictions, those convictions are nonfinal, and appellate court declined jurisdiction over Defendant's challenges to those convictions. (CUNNINGHAM and CONNORS, concurring.)
