Gun-advocacy group continues fight for Illinois FOID card secrecy

(GunReports.com) — A gun-advocacy group is pushing ahead with a lawsuit over firearm owner identification cards in Illinois even though a new state law prohibits the public release of gun-holder names.

The Illinois State Rifle Association wants to continue the lawsuit in hopes a judge will eventually establish an unassailable constitutional right to keep the ID-card data secret, the group’s attorney, Stanley Tucker, said Wednesday.

“Theoretically, a future legislature could reverse (the new law)” said Tucker, speaking after a Circuit Court hearing in Peoria on the matter. “We will be pushing for a ruling on constitutional grounds for that reason.”

In response to a request from The Associated Press, Attorney General Lisa Madigan’s office ruled earlier this year the 1.3 million names of FOID card holders are public under the state’s open records law and should be released.

A great example against registration. Government officials cannot be trusted.

The controls on that card are so strict that it's difficult to get one. I did when I worked there, and it was ridiculous. So there is no purpose in making that info public, other than to label citizens with guns as the place to go steal one if you want one that isn't registered. You might as well make people put up a sign in the front yard that says "I have a gun here, come steal it when I'm at Wal-mart".
