Vivian Brown was charged with possession of a firearm without requisite Firearm Owner’s ID card following an incident in the spring of 2017. During that incident, it was discovered that Brown was in possession of a single shot, bolt action .22 caliber Remington rifle within her home without a FOID card.
Now Brown is contesting that requiring a FOID card to own a firearm within her own home is a violation of her Second Amendment right to bare arms for the purpose of protection, having already had the White County Second Circuit Court rule in her favor.

"The State has argued before the state Supreme Court that requiring a FOID card for gun owners within their homes is a matter of public safety, and that the stipulations within the FOID Card Act help to prevent those that might pose a threat to society from owning firearms."
What a crock. The court saw right through that argument. The only way that the state supreme court would overthrow this ruling is they are a bunch of flaming liberals with an agenda. |

Constitutional Rights are to be served by the state, not suppressed by it. No law abiding citizen should ever be charged a license fee for, and taxed by the State, in order to exercise a Freedom granted by the Federal Constitution. The Tyrannical Super State demands that you obey.

TO REMEMBER |
| They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.— Benjamin Franklin Historical Review of Pennsylvania. [Note: This sentence was often quoted in the Revolutionary period. It occurs even so early as November, 1755, in an answer by the Assembly of Pennsylvania to the Governor, and forms the motto of Franklin's "Historical Review," 1759, appearing also in the body of the work. — Frothingham: Rise of the Republic of the United States, p. 413. ] |
