What Winning the Battle Looks Like


Recommended Posts

I thought you guys would enjoy this.  Here is a picture of the 2nd Amendment Foundation proudly displaying the check they had cut from the City of Chicago as a result of being awarded legal fees ($399,950 to be exact) they incurred to successfully fight and win the McDonald v. Chicago case in 2010.

 

They posted it on their Twitter feed to kick off their public relations campaign in support of their new lawsuit against Illinois regarding restrictions in there nascent CCW law.  Here's hoping they bring home another win, and another big fat check!

There is probably more than a little satisfaction in seeing Rahm's signature on that check.

 

I'm sure there was, but it shouldn't have been his name on there.  The case was actually decided when Richard Daly was mayor of Chicago, so if they had paid up right after the judgement it would be his signature on there instead of Rahm Emanuel's.

 

Chicago took almost two years from when McDonald was decided to give the Second Amendment Foundation this check.  I can see a few months for delay- SAF had to prepare and send Chicago a bill, Chicago has to verify and validate the charges, back and forth.  But two years was just them being petty about paying up and stalling the process as long as they could.
