In February 2018, a White County, IL Second Judicial Circuit Court judge ruled Illinois Firearms Owners Identification Card Act unconstitutional. Eight months later, after pleadings and motions to reconsider the initial decision, the judge not only reaffirmed his original decision, but supplemented it. Now, IllinoisCarry.com’s spokeswoman Valinda Rowe claims that the Illinois Attorney General will take the case to the Illinois Supreme Court.

Not only blocked, but declared unconstitutional!

Wow, I had one for 7 years when I was in grad school/medical school.

On a funny note, a friend sent in a picture of his dog and they issued the dog a FOID.

Wonder how this might impact the HQL, it is a similar concept except you couldn’t own, posses, store, etc... a firearm without it.

That's been a law for a long damn time. Be great to see it go

So much for people saying this BS has been found Constitutional.

I hope this gives Frosh nightmares. Big nightmares of regular people with guns. GUNS! IN THE HOME! A lot of scary nightmares that follow him to the grave and beyond.

Are you kidding? This coming out around the same time as the results of the Mueller investigation may just give him a stroke!

None of us are that lucky.

Besides, I want Frosh fully alert when Maryland goes shall issue.

We should take up a collection for one of those fancy magic mirrors that displays the news while he shaves.

PowPow · Mar 24, 2019

Wow, this is MAJOR! (and obviously not a surprise from a properly read 2A standpoint)

GTOGUNNER · Mar 24, 2019

Awesome.

Thanks for sharing the positive news!

Yeah, awful argument if someone nominally 2A made it. Wonder if this is something that can be cited in the MD HQL suit.

Wow, they went after a non prohibited person (meaning no disqualifying crimes, mental issues, etc) that had a single-shot 22 rifle at home for self-defense because she didn't have a FOID card. I don't know enough of the details of whether she purposefully was not complying or was unaware that the FOID statute would apply to her (e.g. in case the rifle was inherited years ago). But really ideal type of person to challenge it.

None. Maryland is in a different circuit and all the action is happening in state court on top of that. If it was federal in a different circuit, it could at least float up to SCOTUS or create a circuit split to entice SCOTUS to take the case.

Alas zero precedent for us.

Does anyone know why it took over 50 years to get something like this out of the court on the FOID?

Elliotte · Mar 24, 2019

Maybe I'm misreading the order, but it looks like an as-applied ruling affecting only the named defendant. Am I wrong?

I suspect this is the reason

In reality, given how FOID Act violations so seldom get charged by prosecutors, and even if they do are quickly plea-bargained away, a decision to strike down the FOID Act as unconstitutional would not pose a meaningful obstacle for police and prosecutors.

Good news but I'll wait before I get out my pom poms.
