With restraining order rejected, Naperville police free to enforce city, state gun sale ban
The Naperville Police Department is free to enforce a city ordinance banning the sale of certain high-powered rifles after a federal judge rejected a request for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction.
"Our stay that we had agreed to concerning enforcement of the city ordinance is now over," DiSanto said."That happens automatically as part of the order. Our ordinance is now in effect in Naperville. The commercial sale of assault rifles are regulated per the ordinance." As of early Monday afternoon, DiSanto said, the city hadn't heard from the plaintiffs regarding their next step. They could continue to pursue the injunction with the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals or focus on the original lawsuit arguing the constitutionality of the ordinance.The city's ordinance, which was scheduled to go into effect on Jan. 1, affects Law Weapons and Supply and another gun shop, Range USA, as well as some other businesses, including pawnshops.
A broader state law makes it illegal to sell or purchase certain weapons, attachments and cartridges, with exceptions for law enforcement and military personnel similar to the city ordinance.
