Illinois gun restrictions unfairly target foster parents, lawsuit claims
At issue is an Illinois law that targets foster parents by severely restricting their second amendment rights by forbidding them from possession of firearms for self defense purposes. The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court for the Central District of Illinois.
The Second Amendment Foundation and the Illinois State Rifle Association has also joined in the lawsuit. “No foster parent should have to forfeit their constitutional rights in order to be a foster parent.” said Kenneth Shults.

"Prospective Illinois foster parents must either certify that there are no firearms in their home or complete a form called the Foster Family Firearms Arrangement. That document requires a list of all guns and ammunition in the home and locations where they are stored. Would-be foster parents also must certify the guns have trigger locks and are stored unloaded, separate from ammunition and in locked containers accessible only with a key kept off the premises or on the owner’s person.
The rules can be enforced by involuntary home inspections, according to the lawsuit."
