People v. Aguilar

Summary

The court held that the Class 4 form of Illinois's aggravated unlawful use of weapons statute facially violated the Second Amendment because it imposed a comprehensive ban on carrying an operable firearm for self-defense outside the home. It rejected the defendant's challenge to the unlawful-possession-of-firearms statute, concluding that minors' possession of handguns falls outside the Second Amendment's protection. The court reversed the AUUW conviction, affirmed the UPF conviction, and remanded for sentencing on the UPF conviction.
