Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Second Amendment
Defendant was convicted of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon and defendant appealed, arguing that the FOID Card Act and Concealed Carry Act are unconstitutional under the Second Amendment. The appellate court affirmed, finding that as a “shall-issue” state, Illinois conforms to the requirements of the Second Amendment and does not restrict law-abiding citizens from possessing firearms in a manner that would be unconstitutional. (REYES and LAMPKIN, concurring)
