The case is [1]NRA v. City of Chicago, the challenge to the Chicago
handgun ban.
Can Lethal Self-Defense, Even Against Threats of Death, Serious Bodily Injury, Rape, and Kidnapping, Be Made a Crime?
(also from Seventh Circuit decision)
"An obligation to avoid lethal force in self-defense might imply an
obligation to use pepper spray rather than handguns. A modification
of the self-defense defense may or may not be in the best interest
of public safety -- whether guns deter or facilitate crime is an
empirical question -- but it is difficult to argue that legislative
evaluation of which weapons are appropriate for use in self-defense
has been out of the people?hands since 1868."
