c. The DCFS Rules are consistent with the Nation's historical tradition of firearm regulation in sensitive places. 1. Day care homes are sensitive places analogous to schools pursuant to Bruen and Schoenthal. The Court finds that day care homes are learning environments. The parties raise, and the Court is aware of, no reason why the historical prohibition on firearms in schools as sensitive places would be conditional on a specific curriculum taught or child age group served at a school. Thus, the Court finds that day care homes are learning environments, just as schools are. 2. Foster homes are sensitive places analogous to schools pursuant to Bruen and Schoenthal. C. The Day Care Home Rule is a Reasonable Condition Imposed on Receiving the Benefit of a Day Care Home License. The Court finds that the Day Care Home Rule, assumed to infringe on Jennifer Miller’s Second Amendment rights, is a reasonable government restriction on her day care home license because the Rule is a partial restriction on those rights in order to protect the physical safety of the children in her day care home who DCFS is obligated to protect The Court agrees that a private employer—whether engaged in security, child care, or both, as foster home parents may well be categorized—would be “justified in barring its employees from carrying their personal handguns on the job” or from keeping firearms and ammunition where they are on the job that are not “stored and locked up separately at all times and kept in places inaccessible to children.” The Court finds that the plain text of the Second Amendment covers the Day Care Home Rule and the Foster Home Rule, that day care homes and foster homes are sensitive places analogous to schools where firearms may be restricted, and, therefore, that the Day Care Home Rule and the Foster Home Rule restricting firearms kept in day care homes and foster homes, respectively, are constitutional. The Court also finds that both the Day Care Home Rule and the Foster Home Rule are reasonable restrictions on government contractors’ and licensees’ assumedly implicated Second Amendment rights. For the reasons set forth, Defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgment (d/e 89) is GRANTED and Plaintiffs’ Motion for Summary Judgment (d/e 94) is DENIED. The Clerk is DIRECTED to enter final judgment in favor of Defendants Heidi Mueller and Kwame Raoul and against the Plaintiffs. Any pending motions are DENIED as MOOT, any pending deadlines are TERMINATED, and any scheduled settings are VACATED. This case is CLOSED. SUE E. MYERSCOUGH UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE

After 8 years and many legal twists and turns, Judge SUE E. MYERSCOUGh has once again ruled against us. gov.uscourts.ilcd.72794.104.0.pdf

Chief Judge Brennan's dissent is 50 pages of the 95 page ruling. Excellent reading. On to the U.S. Supreme Court, as quickly as possible, please!

I have heard of this happening occasionally. I know ISP prefers a handwritten signature.
