    Cool FOID ruled unconstituional in IL District Court

    http://illinoiscarry.com/forum/index...howtopic=71543

    This could be a crack in the dam.

    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!

    So they are finally getting around to the fact that the second amendment is being taxed? And this after all the blood let over the poll tax being illegal.

    Just out of curiosity, when they arrest a thug, and he's in possession of a firearm, do the police check to see if he has a FOID? If not, do they charge him with possessing a firearm without having a FOID?

    If not, that looks like another lawsuit to me. Unequal treatment under the law....

    Yeah. Exactly. Imagine if you had to pay a fee and have a background check to be "journalist".

    OH they WANT THAT!!!!
    That way there will be a "don't believe him he isn't a real journalist" BS.
    Then there wil lbe fights over who pays a higher tax therefore their news is more accurate...

    The FOID has been in place here since 1968. The democrats are back to having their usual stranglehold on the state now that the Republican governor has been replaced with another corrupt socialist dimmy. It will be a cold day in hell when they give up that power over IL gun owners.
