"The 2010 "Firearms Law & The Second Amendment Symposium" will be held on Saturday, November 13, 2010 at the John Marshall Law School in Chicago, Illinois. This event will be sponsored by The NRA Foundation and the John Marshall Law School chapter of the Federalist Society.

Focusing on recent developments in our nation's courts regarding the Second Amendment, speakers will discuss and debate current Second Amendment scholarship and related issues. The symposium will feature top Second Amendment scholars and attorneys, discussing topics that range from the history of the Second and Fourteenth Amendments, to the recent Supreme Court decision on Chicago's handgun ban, to critical recent developments in state legislation.

This event promises to present a thought-provoking discussion of one of the most relevant and important freedoms in the Bill of Rights. Each Symposium registrant will receive a packet containing the panelists' written materials on the subject- an excellent source for future reference. For guests who are attorneys, this year's event may once again meet state requirements for continuing legal education. The event, including all materials, food and beverages, is free.

Of all the relatively gun friendly cities out there why in the world would you have this thing in Chicago? The only place that might have been worse is DC. Didn't the NRA have some huge event (a gun show I think) in a no carry convention center? And now to have a second amendment forum in a place that doesn't let you practice it? Maybe that's the point but still...

Going to a difficult locale I think is better than preaching to the choir.
Our IL brother's need all the pushing they can get.

Of all the relatively gun friendly cities out there why in the world would you have this thing in Chicago?

Because its a NATIONAL event and Chicago is easy to fly into/out of at low cost. Because its in the middle of the nation and not too far from either coast. Because it is such an anti-gun city that they need the disinfecting light of truth shined upon them for their insane gun laws.
