Gun Control
Return to the Pathfinder Menu.
Village of Morton Grove Handgun Ordinance
Few topics have the power to create discussions as heated as those related to gun control. The Village of Morton Grove has not been silent in this debate. The Village instituted a controversial handgun control ordinance in 1981, which was legally challenged three times, and finally upheld by the U.S. Court of Appeals and the United States Supreme Court. No matter which side you take on the subject, our pathfinder should help you locate information to consider it in a wider perspective.
