The Illinois Supreme Court is considering a case about whether someone’s Firearm Owners ID card can be revoked for merely being charged with a felony.
Plaintiffs in the case, Aaron and Charles Davis, were charged with felonies after firing off guns into the air. After the charge, their FOID cards were revoked. After pleading down to misdemeanor charges a year later, their FOID cards were reinstated. Representing the state, Assistant Attorney General Leigh Jahnig said the plaintiffs have no standing as applied to the plaintiffs.
She asked the lower court’s order be reversed. Attorney Thomas Maag represents the plaintiffs.
Justices took the case under advisement.
