The Illinois Supreme Court has again been asked to decide whether a state law requiring gun owners to have a firearm permit is unconstitutional.
The court previously declined to answer the question.
The case involves White County resident Vivian Brown, who was charged in 2017 with possession of a weapon without a FOID card after firing a gun in her home.
Supporters of the law said it helps keep firearms out of the hands of felons and mentally-ill individuals.
Opponents said it is a significant burden because other state and federal laws prohibit some people from owning a gun.
The court has taken the case under advisement but did not indicate how long it may take to issue a decision.
