The day after the Supreme Court ruled that Washington D.C.'s ban on handguns was unconstitutional, the National Rifle Association filed lawsuits against cities and towns with similar ordinances. Several of those communities are in the Chicago area, including Morton Grove which, in 1981, became the first municipality in the country to make it illegal for people to have handguns in their homes. Now, with the recent ruling and legal pressure from the NRA, Morton Grove, like other small communities, is dropping its ban. Nearby Chicago doesn't plan to let go so easily.
