Johnson v. Department of State Police

Summary

The court held that Illinois's individualized FOID-card restoration process restores a qualifying offender's firearm rights for purposes of the federal misdemeanor-domestic-violence firearms prohibition. Because Johnson satisfied the state-law restoration criteria, granting her relief would not violate federal law, so the court affirmed the order directing issuance of her FOID card while vacating the lower court's constitutional rulings.
