Chicago Area Handgun Bans Repealed

The villages of Wilmette and Morton Grove have repealed their bans.  Evanston may follow.  Oak Park and Chicago say they will fight to maintain their bans.  Most interesting to me is that when the Morton Grove village board considered the question, few people showed up at the meeting.  And I heard a Wilmette official say that he has heard from less than 2 dozen residents on either side of the issue.  Maybe the folks around here have other things on their minds?

Update:

Evanston officials hold off on amendment/repeal.
