These motions have been filed by the Illinois AG and the ISRA in the last two days. They do not mean you can carry yet... but they will be argued soon in the 7th U.S. District Court. <br />

The State would be free to ask for relief from the injunction if and when they have an operable permit process up and running.<br />
