JUDGE CONTINUES FOID DELAYS

A federal judge in Chicago says those suing the state over excessive delays in processing Firearm Owner’s Identification cards are not likely to prevail in their case. Judge Mary M. Rowland of the Northern District of Illinois denied a motion for a preliminary injunction against the state over delays Illinois State Police admits are four times longer than allowed by law. Attorneys for the plaintiffs say they will continue to fight the case in the courts.
