..."The Second Amendment Foundation has filed a lawsuit against the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services on behalf of two Prairie State residents, alleging deprivation of civil rights under color of law.

Joining in the lawsuit on behalf of individual plaintiffs Jennifer J. and Darin E. Miller are the Illinois State Rifle Association (ISRA) and Illinois Carry (IC). They are represented by Glen Ellyn attorney David Sigale. Named as defendants in the case are Beverly J. Walker, in her official capacity as director of the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (IDCFS), and state Attorney General Lisa Madigan.

The complaint, filed in U.S. District Court for the Central District of Illinois, contends that Mr. and Mrs. Miller have been denied their rights because IDCFS policy "substantially prohibits day care home licensees, and those who would be day care home licensees, from the possession of firearms for the purpose of self-defense, which violates Plaintiffs' constitutional rights under the Second Amendment."...

We've been working on this lawsuit for quite a while.  Finally found the right plaintiff!!!
And thanks for SAF for their seemingly endless support in our lawsuits!!!!!  I don't think many people know what a pivotal role they have played in our gun rights in this state.

There is the exemption in the Carry Law that allows firearms when children aren't present and DCFS is failing to adhere to that provision in the carry law.
