Chuck, it really depends upon what the actual intent of the Court is. They could GVR Woollard after a decision in Moore, or they could take Woollard and decide the issue of carry.
I see the Court taking Moore as the first step in issue of carry: Is it or is it not part and parcel of the right to self defense? A decision here, might include some hints on how to proceed with may issue/shall issue cases. That would mean a GVR.
Percolate the question with the cases already in the pipe for a couple more years before they decide to actually take another case. Past actions would indicate this route.
Mack, I suspect you are correct in how IL politics is being played out.
