Illinois assault-style weapons registration is open, questions remain
CHICAGO -- It has been one month since Illinois State Police opened up registration for assault-style weapons - as is now required by Illinois law.As CBS 2 Investigator Megan Hickey reported Friday night, there is still plenty of confusion about who needs to register - and just how the new law will be enforced. There are also real concerns about whether those questions will be answered in time for the Jan. 1 registration deadline.
''So if that's the case, there's going to be somewhere between 90 and 100 counties that I don't think there'll be any prosecutions - unless there's a much bigger case to be had there,' Halbrook told CBS 2.State Police couldn't answer questions about what happens if legal challenges to the law are successful.ISP was also peppered at the meeting with plenty of technical questions about which weapons fall into the assault weapons category.
