The Law Firm of David G. Sigale, P.C. is part of an excellent legal team representing the Illinois State Rifle Association, Second Amendment Foundation, and the Firearms Policy Coalition, as well as three individuals, in a lawsuit challenging the State of Illinois’s prohibition on 18-20-year-olds from obtaining a concealed carry license, even if they have a FOID card and pass all CCL requirements. One Plaintiff, Eva Davis, has been shooting in competitions since the age of 12, and has been ranked the Top Female Shooter in Illinois. She takes evening college courses which at times requires her to walk alone to her car at night. Despite statistics that show women are far less likely to commit violent crime than men, she is still prohibited from obtaining a CCL. The male Plaintiffs are also upstanding young men who would pass all requirements, but are nonetheless prohibited from obtaining a CCL. The Firm expects to correct the violation of Second Amendment rights resulting from qualified young adults being prohibited from exercising their right to armed self-defense.
The lawsuit is Meyer, et al v. Raoul, and is pending in the federal Southern District of Illinois.
