As you probably know, if you regularly read the Library of Defense, the Oregon Supreme Court has Update on the Constitutional Challenge to Possession of a loaded Firearm to a case to determine the constitutionality of a Portland City Ordinance outlawing possession of a loaded firearm.
As yet, the appellate courts have not weighed in on the state statute of Unlawful Possession of a Firearm, though a great challenge to that has been writtten, and it's just a matter of time before the courts weigh in.
In the meantime, Judge Posner of the 7th Circuit has written a significant decision tossing an Illinois statute restricting gun rights outside the home. You can read about it here.
