HB4318 hypothetical: I show the officer my electronic FOID on my phone. Will the officer be allowed/required to take the phone from my hand, and would that imply consent to search the rest of the phone?

That depends on if you can put it in Apple Wallet or not - I have my Auto Insurance card there, you don't need to unlock your phone to show it. An interesting legal question and you can bet the courts will say it's implied consent. So you have to decide if it's worth the risk our not, if this becomes an option and will they allow it for a CCL?

Good question, one could always say no you may not have my phone but I can email you this photo or text it to you.

 

Or just carry and show the real card, bypassing all the consent issues.

So far, the bulk of filed bills this year, 17 or so, have been pro 2A...revoking dealer licensing, repealing FOID, adding locations or people, etc. Most of these have been submitted in prior years and went nowhere.

 

I know its early but expected more anti bills by now, especially bans and restrictions. I assume they will be submitting more and not try to pass the 2019 bills that went back to committee.

 

Will be interesting to hear what is on JBPs state of state agenda today.
