FOID card numbers are up as gun owners prepare to march on Springfield – Center Square

While there are pending lawsuits against the state’s gun ban, there are also challenges against the state’s FOID card. The FOID card, issued by Illinois State Police, is needed by Illinois residents to purchase or possess firearms or ammunition. Illinois State Rifle Association Executive Director Richard Pearson said a recent separate federal ruling that illegal immigrants can have firearms means FOID should be void.

Hello, Indiana!,

Hmm.. unfortunately no one in the vicinity of the knife/ baseball bat wielding maniac yesterday in Rockford had a gun handy to end the one man bloodshed. Perhaps they didn’t want to jump through hoops to obtain a FOID card and wait several months as the Draconian laws of IL dictate? A right to arm oneself that is legal in the majority of states in the US? Guns that protect you from homicidal maniacs are bad in IL.
