Chicago Heights Bans Assault Weapons and Licenses Retailers
The Chicago Heights City Council approved a 4-0 ordinance banning assault weapons and requiring firearm retailers to obtain a $250 city license. Federally licensed dealers post-Jan 1 have 45 days to apply. violators face 250 to 500 dollar daily fines. Residents with such weapons must remove or render them inoperable within 14 days. Deputy Chief Lockwood said the rule expands police control and preempts county law.
