Terrence Temple, Petitioner v. Illinois

Terrence Temple has asked the Supreme Court to review an Illinois appellate-court decision involving a state restriction on carrying loaded, unsecured firearms in public parks. The question is whether that restriction is unconstitutional in all of its applications under the Second Amendment.

The case has not been scheduled for oral argument. Temple's petition asks the Court to decide whether Illinois' park restriction is facially constitutional under the Second Amendment.

The case could affect people who carry firearms in Illinois public parks and the officials who enforce park firearm rules. For example, it could shape whether a person may carry a loaded, unsecured gun while visiting a public park.

The case concerns whether Illinois may restrict loaded, unsecured firearms in public parks under the Second Amendment.

People carrying firearms in Illinois public parks and officials enforcing park rules could be affected by the Court's decision whether to take the case.

The Court will decide whether to hear the petition or take another scheduling step. Oral argument has not been scheduled.
