This is a case in my own circuit court that we have been monitoring for the past year. The court ruled the FOID Act unconstitutional in regards to the licensing and taxing requirement to be in possession of a firearm or ammunition in your own home. The IL Attorney General has appealed the case to the IL Supreme Court.
Cliff notes: Lady with a clean record, in possession of a single shot, bolt action rifle .22 in the home for personal protection. No FOID but otherwise eligible for a FOID. Judge ruled requiring a license and charging a fee/tax to exercise a Constitutional right in the home unconstitutional.
We were in contact with the attorney for this case and discovered he was retiring and will not be representing Ms. Brown at the IL Supreme Court level. We have sought legal representation for Ms. Brown and believe the case will be in good hands. More news to follow!
Apparently this isn’t in full effect due to appeals by the state AG but it’s headed to the state Supreme Court and likely SCOTUS after that assuming an adverse ruling at the state level.
More good news this week!
I can imagine why this hasn’t been widely reported in the media . . .
Ping
Ping; your old stomping grounds.
FOID?
Firearms Owner ID
Required in IL to even touch a gun, as I understand it. Blatantly unConstitutional on the face of it, but as you know that rarely slows down Leftists.
FOID = Firearms Owner Identification Card
GUN CONTROL KILLS!
Ban the Democrat Party.
Imprison all their leaders.
First step ping
Thanks. I was unaware of this case.

Most common question in Georgia when someone moves here from Chicago. “Where do I go to get my FOID card?”
We just laugh at them and tell them that they are in America now.
FOID? Is that like a hemorrhoid??
We don’t need no stinkin’ FOID.

Good news! Praying.
Leftists: somehow find abortion rights in the Constitution, can’t find the part that plainly says, “Shall not be infringed.”
FOID
Illinois Register of “The Usual Suspects”.
Round ‘em up.
Or touch/buy ammunition.
Originally passed by a republican governor (Ogilvie) in about 1969. The same prick gave us the illannoy state income tax.
"Ihre pappiere bitte." (Your papers please.)
> We just laugh at them and tell them that they are in America now.
Just don’t let them vote.
see what IL freepers have to say about it.
the fee(tax) for an illinois foid card is relatively innocuous. which i could say the same for my il ccw permit that i just had to renew yesterday.
