A non-Illinois resident, whose home state allows him to possess a firearm without requiring him to first obtain a license, is not deemed "licensed" in that other state for purposes of Illinois FOID-card exemption. This result does not violate second amendment to U.S. Constitution, as applied to this Defendant. (McBRIDE and HOWSE, concurring.).
