Chicago has a strong history of laws, especially in gun control and
alcohol laws, since many prohibition laws focused on the Capone era
bootlegging stories. Because of this lawyers in Chicago have to be up
to date and exact on their interpretations of the law regarding guns,
especially in the modern era, since it is such a controversial subject.
Since gun laws are typically more lenient in the south, law enforcement
believes many guns come from there into Chicago. Lawyers in Chicago
have to keep up on this as well, as it is becoming more of a problem.
Chicago had the highest number of murders by guns in 2003 than any
other city. |
