The case People of the State of Illinois v Vivian Claudine Brown, in which the circuit/trial court struck down the Illinois FOID law as applied to her only, is currently pending in the Illinois Supreme Court. Ms. Brown possessed a simple rifle which was kept in her home next to the bed for self-defense purposes. She did not have a FOID card, though was eligible for one as a law-abiding citizen. The circuit court held that requiring a license, with its fee and hoops, to exercise this fundamental right was unconstitutional. Oral argument will be scheduled in the coming months.
