That is federal, if I'm not mistaken.

Yes, but until the FOID is gone completely, it's still a roadblock.Constitutional protected rights don't end at your doorway threshold, so if even if the wording of a final ruling is narrow it should be easy to expand upon. And even in the interm a ruling that no FOID is needed to own/possses guns in your residence is a HUGE step forward in this state.
So I don't need a FOID to have a gun at home, but without a FOID, I still can't go out and buy one, legally transport it to/from a range to practice, etc.

Operating a radio transmitter has to do with Federally regulated frequencies and electronic equipment and high voltages. Not the same thing and not free speech or right which shall not be infringed.

The feds don't charge for an amateur radio license. Any fees are for the test and are charged by a Volunteer Examiner Coordinator. Find a VEC who will do it for free, and you're good to go. I'm not sure about other radio licenses though.

Having to pay and ask for permission from the ISP makes it a privilege and is treated by politicians in this state as a privilege which can easily be revoked by the ISP and in some cases the right has been taken away for traffic offenses which have been discussed on this board.
Can't wait for the Supreme Court to invalidate all these Unconstitutional laws paid by the anti Constitutional rights people who want total control.

Molly, is there any need to start a GoFundMe to help in this effort? I'm sure there a lot of people here who would be willing to kick in a few bucks - myself included

Now that I think about it, this could potentially have some far reaching effects. Such as anyone that gets "red flagged" having to turn their guns in to the police if their significant other doesn't have a FOID.

Interesting on the date of the ruling. Just so happens to be 2/14/18 (date of Parkland shooting, which has turned into the biggest gun control push ever)

A motion to appeal was filed on 11/20/18.
An extension was requested on 1/23/19
Another extention was requested on 3/12/19 with the court saying this is the final extension briefs due on 4/26
Then there will be the reply brief from the defandant and then, there will be a reply from the state to which they will dawdel and most likely ask for an extension. So may not get before the Court till October. Right about the time New York is being heard. So depending, we could go up after New York. And have the benefit of those orals. and depending on how long delayed, could even see a ruling in the interum.
this may toss a monkey wrench into some of those things going on at the capitol.
While a 9 mm or .40 caliber bullet may or may not expand, it is an undeniable fact that a .45 caliber bullet will never shrink.

Top notch work! I'm glad we're helping her out with a new attorney and it's a shame the old one is retiring, sounds like they're great whoever they are.

I must note that this is AS APPLIED challenge. Not a facial challenge. It's not gonna void our the FOID. It'll just void out the FOID requirement for defendant Brown. I can't figure out why her lawyer would plead it that way but that's what happened. I suppose it could turn into a facial challenge, but...I dunno.

The next step (if it played out that way) would be to litigate the fact that if defendant Brown can't be legally required to have a FOID card, then neither can anybody else.

I just don't know why her attorney challenged it as applied. Not like some felon restoration case where details are VERY important. It's gonna be interesting when it comes up on appeal.

My guess is that because this was a criminal case, her attorney's primary duty was to his client.

Sounds like a move in the right direction but as we all know, the courts take their own sweet time and we all know the state will fight this with every method (legal or not) they can come up with. We must keep pushing it and keep their feet to the fire. I think we should demand all the money we had to pay for the FOID crap returned to us with interest!
