STATE RIFLE ASSOCIATION SECURES TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER AGAINST RELEASE OF FIREARM OWNERS\u2019 PERSONAL INFORMATION<\/p>\n
PEORIA, IL – – The following was released today by the Illinois State Rifle Association (ISRA):<\/p>\n
The ISRA is pleased to announce that it has secured a temporary restraining order against the release of personal information belonging to persons holding Illinois Firearm Owner Identification cards (FOID). The ISRA and four additional plaintiffs filed for the temporary restraining order after Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan announced that her office believes that release of FOID information to the public is proper under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act. The ISRA is very concerned that public release of personal information from the FOID database will jeopardize the safety of law-abiding firearm owners.<\/p>\n
The temporary restraining order was granted by judge Scott Shore of the 10th Judicial District, Peoria County. Judge Shore has scheduled a status call for March 15th, at which time a date will be set for hearing arguments regarding the issuance of a preliminary injunction. With the temporary order in effect, your FOID information is safe, for now.<\/p>\n
\u201cLaw-abiding Illinois firearm owners can breathe a little easier today,\u201d commented ISRA Executive Director Richard Pearson. \u201cJudge Shore\u2019s order will prevent the Illinois State Police from releasing personal information on FOID holders to news organizations, gun control groups, gangs, and other criminals\u201d.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
