Tyshon Thompson v. Illinois

Whether this Court’s language in footnote nine from New York State Rifle & Pistol Ass’n, Inc. v. Bruen, 597 U.S. 1, 38 n. 9 (2022), allows courts to bypass Bruen’s mandated twostep historical analysis when addressing a second amendment challenge to so-called “shall issue” licensing regimes.

Whether Illinois’ aggravated unlawful possession of a weapon statute (AUPW), which enforces Illinois’ dual licensing regime under the Concealed Carry Act by imposing criminal punishment, is unconstitutional under Bruen.
