Under current law, once you get a Florida DL, you will no longer be eligible for a FOID or IL CCL. From the ISP website: What if I moved out of state? What should I do with my CCL? Simply mail it back to the Firearms Services Bureau at 801 S. 7th Street, Suite 400M, Springfield, Illinois, 62703. Include a note that you have moved out of state and are surrendering your CCL. If you are moving to a substantially similar state (Florida is not substantially similar) and wish to have an Illinois CCL, you must contact the Firearms Services Bureau via email isp.ccw.illinois@illinois.gov to have your FOID canceled so that you may apply for a CCL change of address. You must submit your CCL from your new state, a copy of your new state ID, and a notarized Out of State affidavit.

https://www.firearmsnews.com/editorial/cmp-m14-sales-upends-atf-once-a-machine-gun-rule/558353 By David Codrea “By special authorization, the CMP is pleased to announce the future availability and sale of surplus M14 rifle,” the Civilian Marksmanship Program announced in July. “Prior to sale, the rifles will be modified to be permanently and irreversibly semi-automatic rifles. The modified semi-automatic M14s will be fully compliant with CMP enabling legislation authorizing the transfer and sale of military surplus .30 caliber rifles.” “This does reflect a significant change in ATF's practical position because for decades, ATF has been of the position that if something was ever a machine gun, its receiver is always and forever a machine gun no matter what,” a video titled “With the CMP M14 Announcement, Did ATF Just Kill ‘Once a Machinegun, always a Machinegun’?” attorney and former Firearms Policy Coalition Director Matthew Larosiere of the Fudd Busters YouTube channel asked. “But that's not and never was a formal rule. It was never in the statute or a regulation in the first place.” . . . Interesting article - check it out.

Fantastic! This has been a long time coming!

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
