"Lawsuit against Lincolnwood over local gun store regulations dismissed"

"A lawsuit filed by Rev. Michael Pfleger and a group of activists last year that said lax local gun laws in Lincolnwood were to blame when guns sold by the town's only firearms dealer ended up at Chicago crime scenes has been dismissed by a Cook County judge.

In the July 2015 lawsuit, Lincolnwood was listed as a defendant along with the villages of Lyons and Riverdale as one of three Cook County towns with permissive local gun laws that Pfleger and the Coalition for Safe Chicago Communities say contribute to the illegal firearms market in Cook County.

While the village of Lincolnwood appreciates and shares the concerns raised by the plaintiffs concerning gun violence, we have stated all along that the lawsuit was misguided and improper," said Steven Elrod, attorney for Lincolnwood.

Jerry Turry, Lincolnwood's mayor, said the suit was without merit and said he was pleased with the judge's dismissal of the case. "The city of Chicago continues to point towards others when they should spend more time looking into the mirror," Turry said. "Had any of them (Pfleger and the Coalition for Safe Chicago Communities) called us first, we would have demonstrated that our village ordinance is well-written."
