On December 28, 2003, in Wilmette, Illinois, Hale DeMar shot an intruder who had previously stolen his car.
While Cook County prosecutors declined to prosecute him for the shooting, the village of Wilmette prosecuted him for violating the local handgun ban.
The Illinois General Assembly passed a bill As a result of this shooting, the State Legislature passed a law making it legal to use a handgun in self-defense in your own home; the House passed it by 86-25 and the Senate passed this by 38-20.
Are the legislators who voted against this law fit for ANY political office?
