The city of Chicago has expanded its lawsuit against gun manufacturer Glock Inc. to include its parent company in Europe and several local Illinois retailers, accusing them of violating local laws by marketing and selling handguns that can be easily converted to full-auto fire using a simple device known as a “Glock switch.”
The lawsuit, filed on July 22 at the Cook County Circuit Court, accuses Glock Inc., its parent company in Austria called Glock Ges.m.b.H, and two Illinois gun dealers Eagle Sports Range and Midwest Sporting Goods, accusing them of violating Municipal Code of Chicago (MCC) § 2-25-090, which prohibits unfair or deceptive acts or practices while doing business in the city.
