Tyrannical Chicago Officials Persecute a Cautious Gun Owner

Sunday, February 17, 2013 15:22

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Chicago, IL—A well respected University of Illinois cancer researcher, Kathleen Loviscek, 55 was reasonably concerned about the strangers who were renovating her home. She did not have viable options but to bring her lawfully purchased and unloaded gun to work so it would not fall into wrong hands. For example, she could not simply entrust a neighbor with her gun without running afoul of Chicago’s draconian gun laws.

Police treated Lovisicek like a dangerous terrorist, knowing she had no criminal record and a legitimate Firearms Identification Card. She was charged with felony Unlawful Use of a Weapon and jailed overnight. She was hauled before a fascist Cook County judge who set bail at $25,000.00.
Bail is for two purposes; one to insure the accused will appear in court and to protect the public. This woman had strong ties to the community and no criminal history. Nobody was ever endangered so letting her out on her promise to appear was more than adequate. The bail was purely punitive and unreasonable.

Loviscik was charged with the same statute that was recently struck down as Unconstitutional by the 7^thCircuit Court of Appeals. The court gave the State of Illinois 180 days to rewrite the law.

There is now a huge legal paradox that defies explanation. Remember, the law was declared unconstitutional! I guess it’s like being pregnant, either you are or are not! Nothing will make an unconstitutional law a proper vehicle for just punishment. I see no choice but for the State’s Attorney to dismiss the charge and return Loviscik’s gun to her.

There are no questions that the unloaded gun was ever somehow part of some threat, or was brandished or even placed where it could be stolen and improperly used.

The only question remaining is the university’s employee discipline action against Loviscek. Since the school is government run they can’t infringe on anyone’s right to keep and bear arms. They’d be best advised to take no action against Lovisick.

As for this entire episode it spells out only too well the unintended consequences of zero tolerance policies. This was nothing less than an act of government tyranny.
