Quote:Contact your County Board member and politely tell them know this is unacceptable. You can find their contact information here: https://www.lakecountyil.gov/2336/County-Board-Members. Tell them that the uses of firearms for hunting, target shooting, pest control, and self-defense have traditionally and normally been among the liberties and permitted uses of property of the residents in unincorporated areas of counties and Lake County is no different. Illinois statute 55 ILCS 5/5-1117 gives counties a narrowly defined power to prohibit the discharge of firearms only when risk of injury is likely. Lake County ord. 132.01 was enacted solely for the convenience of the Sheriff’s Department and does not comply with the intent or qualification of the state law, is overly and unreasonably prohibitive, and is ill-conceived. Further, it does not reflect the letter or spirit of the Illinois Wildlife Code. Ask them to repeal ordinance 132.01, aka 15-0371.
