Judge strikes down part of Illinois FOID law as unconstitutional

  • A White County resident circuit judge ruled that Illinois' requirement for a Firearm Owners Identification card is unconstitutional for possessing a firearm at home for self-defense, citing Second Amendment protections.
  • The case, State of Illinois v. Vivian Claudine Brown, challenged the FOID card requirement and its $10 fee, which the judge deemed unconstitutional.
  • Judge T. Scott Webb stated that possessing a firearm in one's home is protected by the Second Amendment, and there are no historical analogues to justify the FOID Act.
  • Alan Gottlieb from the Second Amendment Foundation expressed confidence that the state will appeal, but emphasized that the ruling is an important win for Second Amendment rights.
