jmeyers Posted October 12, 2016 at 05:10 PM Author Share Posted October 12, 2016 at 05:10 PM The saga continues. The AG now says that I need to file a separate Complaint in Administrative Review for this new Final Administrative Decision pursuant to the Administrative Review Law Keep in mind, the hearing was requested by them, not me, was REMANDED by the court. WE'll see how the court handles this stall tactic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamma Posted October 12, 2016 at 11:39 PM Share Posted October 12, 2016 at 11:39 PM One would think that the record of the administrative proceeding would be admissible in your suit, since it was remanded to the ALJ and now the court has to review it. I would think the judge might be interested in the show put on by the state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borgranta Posted October 13, 2016 at 05:10 AM Share Posted October 13, 2016 at 05:10 AM Meyers may have standing to challenge the current UUW as facially unconstitutional on the grounds that most non-residents are not allowed their right to bear arms.

jmeyers Posted October 13, 2016 at 11:39 AM Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 at 11:39 AM The communication of the show will all be submitted. Delay Delay Delay. My thought is, they are the ones that asked for the hearing, not I and the court remanded it and then set us for a Status Hearing as needed. We've had that hearing, told the judge we had a hearing and expect a denial. The judge then said we could reset as needed. We will go back Nov 9 (I most likely won't be in attendance) to reset and get a briefing schedule setup to brief the arguments and see how the judge would like to handle all of this Delay and BS.

Tango7 Posted October 13, 2016 at 05:43 PM Share Posted October 13, 2016 at 05:43 PM Illinois the only one to have a licensing scheme such that you need something to own or possess a firearmIncorrect, MA has their FID card, NY and I think a few other states require a permit/license to possess a handgun. Purchase permits required in CT, DC, HI, IA (handguns), MD (handguns), MI (for handguns not purchased by an CCW or through an FFL), MN (handguns w/o CPL and EBR's), NE (handguns w/o CCW), NJ, NY (handguns), NC (handguns - obtain from sheriff), RI (handguns), Ownership permits required in DC & NY (handguns). Looks like NJ actually got rid of their FOID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stm Posted October 13, 2016 at 06:55 PM Share Posted October 13, 2016 at 06:55 PM I can't remember the name of the plaintiff, but ISP was sued a few years ago by a woman (from Indiana?) because they wouldn't issue a FOID to her so she could possees a handgun for self-defense while visiting relatives in Illinois. The state argued that she could possess a handgun legally in Illinois without a FOID and that as a non-resident, she was not eligible for a FOID. How can they revoke your CCL because you are no longer eligible for a FOID, when they won't issue you one as a non-resident? Do the 29 non-resident IL CCL holders have FOIDS? I know this has been hashed out over and over, but the hypocrisy of the state's arguments is astounding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwc Posted October 13, 2016 at 07:17 PM Share Posted October 13, 2016 at 07:17 PM I can't remember the name of the plaintiff, but ISP was sued a few years ago by a woman (from Indiana?) because they wouldn't issue a FOID to her so she could possees a handgun for self-defense while visiting relatives in Illinois.

How can they revoke your CCL because you are no longer eligible for a FOID, when they won't issue you one as a non-resident? Do the 29 non-resident IL CCL holders have FOIDS? I know this has been hashed out over and over, but the hypocrisy of the state's arguments is astounding. That would be the Mishaga case: http://illinoiscarry.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=55134 Non-residents, including non-resident CCL holders from the 4 approved states, are not required to have a FOID card to possess a firearm in Illinois, and most cannot obtain one anyway. Exceptions are individuals such as active duty military members stationed in Illinois and security guards. I'm guessing most of the 29 non-resident CCL holders do not have a FOID card, but several (who happen to be military members assigned here and are legal residents of VA, NM, or SC) may have one. But all 29 must meet the basic qualifications for obtaining a FOID card (except Illinois residency) even if one isn't actually issued. The Mishaga (an Ohio resident) case, which was decided in the Central District Court of Illinois, affirmed that a non-resident may possess a firearm in Illinois if "licensed" to possess the firearm in his or her state of residence. But "license," according to the C.D.IL, simply means "eligible." Ohio doesn't issue a license to own or possess a firearm. But since it was legal for Mishaga to possess a firearm in Ohio, she was "licensed" to do so. As I understand it, the state's argument in Meyers' case, with which the ALJ concurred, revolves around the fact that a resident's CCL will be revoked if that individual no longer qualifies for a FOID card. Changing residency to another state allows the ISP to revoke the FOID card, which in turn causes the CCL to be revoked as well. Possession isn't the issue here--license to carry, and on-going eligibility to have that license, is the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinnyb82 Posted October 19, 2016 at 07:28 PM Share Posted October 19, 2016 at 07:28 PM While going down the list of states that require "permission" to purchase/own, did anyone forget about that idiotic California horse manure DoJ Certificate of Eligibility required to obtain a firearm, each and every time, regardless of how many firearms one owns.

jmeyers Posted November 17, 2016 at 02:39 PM Author Share Posted November 17, 2016 at 02:39 PM The delay saga continues. On Nov 9 we had a status conference in which the State asked the judge for some time so that they may prepare and file a Motion to Dismiss based on the fact that I had an Administrative Hearing, was denied relief, they believe a Miscellaneous Remedy lawsuit which challenges the rules is no longer valid and If I wish to seek relief, I need to refile as an Administrative Action pursuant to the act for Judicial Review of the hearing. Once they file a motion we'll have 7 days to respond. It is highly likely that this motion will be denied based on previous case law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Federal Farmer Posted January 12, 2017 at 03:35 AM Share Posted January 12, 2017 at 03:35 AM My experience with Admin. Law is that they are kangaroo courts. The municipal unit (in my case, Chicago) or agency (in this case, ISP) hires lawyers to act as judges in cases against themselves. How often will such a "judge" bite the hand that feeds it? I moved out of IL to WA last Spring. I tried to change my address on the ISP site and was unable to do so as it does not allow one to put in a different state. I'm looking forward to a win here or National Recognition, whichever comes first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
