Naperville gun shop owner gives city until Monday to agree to negotiate end to sale ban ordinance
Somewhere between suffering a heart attack and amassing hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt, Robert Bevis decided he was all in.
The state law is making its way through the courts, with a ruling Thursday that put the ban back into effect -- at least for the moment. Naperville officials have declined to comment on the offer, but -- with the state law in place -- Bevis and his lawyers believe the Naperville law is redundant and unnecessary.
If Naperville turns down Bevis' offer to negotiate, he said he will take the fight as far as it needs to go. For Bevis, that means repealing the local law and making him whole on his financial losses.
