People vs. Webb
People vs. Webb is an Illinois Supreme Court case that struck down the law that says you cannot carry a stun gun or taser outside of the home. Due to this decision, you now can carry a stun gun or taser outside of the home without a concealed carry permit. A FOID card and 24 hour waiting period is still required to own one of these devices.
