The left lies about everything. Truth is a liberal value, and truth is a conservative value, but it has never been a left-wing value. People on the left say whatever advances their immediate agenda. Power is their moral lodestar; therefore, truth is always subservient to it. - Dennis Prager

It may not be huge, but I’m thinking it’s not small either.
Looks like the good people of Illinois are try to sneak into the United States to be among other free people.

I am not and have never been a LEO. My avatar is in honor of my friend, Dallas Police Sargent Michael Smith, who was murdered along with four other officers in Dallas on 7.7.2016.

Re: Small victory in Illinois: FOID ruled unconstitutional
I can't imagine any of our founders supporting the contention that one must have a license and be taxed to exercise any of their rights under the BOR.
By definition requiring a license is and infringement on any right and only one right comes with the very specific prohibition, "shall not be infringed".
Our ancestors have over the last hundred years or so done us a terrible disservice by not fighting such laws tooth and nail every time they were proposed.

Re: Small victory in Illinois: FOID ruled unconstitutional
Not small. I'm not an attorney but my understanding is that the FOID has been around for decades and is the foundation for all of IL's regulations. I don't expect the IL Supreme Court will uphold it precisely for the paradigm-shattering importance that it represents. Remember, this is an OWNERSHIP license. They think that the 2A allows that level of regulation. Only a federal appellate court ruling brought CC to IL. This state has been very hostile and really still is. I'm hoping for the best but realistically think that if the SCOTUS doesn't step in after the IL SC overturns this, a victory won't be realized. I hope I'm wrong!

I lived in Illinois for 20 years before moving back to Texas, the FOID has been around a long time. This is another step to fully restoring the law abiding citizens of Illinois their 2A rights.SA-TX wrote: Sun Mar 31, 2019 9:41 pm Not small.

Re: Small victory in Illinois: FOID ruled unconstitutional
My grandpa's FOID card expired in 1973, so FOID has been around in Illinois for almost 50 years. I'm really glad I left that state in 1976.I lived in Illinois for 20 years before moving back to Texas, the FOID has been around a long time. This is another step to fully restoring the law abiding citizens of Illinois their 2A rights.
