Now, would the state appealing that ruling (in the interests of further making miserable the woman in question) make the matter increasingly fair game for wider precedent?
It does seem odd that "the licensing mechanism in place is unconstitutional" would only apply to one person. The language of the ruling certainly wasn't written as if the judge was only thinking about her.
I don't believe that appealing the ruling would make it fair game for a wider precedent. If you read the logic that was used to support the decision, it is really only applicable to people that already own a firearm, but don't have a FOID card. This is why the unconstitutionality was limited to only the defendant.
