Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
FOID Card Act
Petitioner filed a petition seeking restoration of his firearms rights under the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act. The trial court dismissed the petition, finding that it lacked subject matter jurisdiction to grant relief to a non-Illinois resident. The appellate court affirmed, finding that section 10(c) of the Act creates a procedure intended only for Illinois residents and that it did not apply to petitioner, who was a resident of Michigan, and noting that Illinois is not constitutionally required to provide a process for individuals to restore their firearm rights. (O’BRIEN and HAUPTMAN, concurring)
