Civil liberty advocates are suing Illinois officials over its 'show your papers' gun law, which requires individuals to carry identification at all times. The lawsuit was filed by the New Civil Liberties Alliance on Tuesday against the state's Firearm Owners Identification Act. The law, also known as the FOID Card Act, aims to curb illegal firearm sales but critics argue it infringes on individual rights. The NCLA is seeking a court ruling that would strike down parts of the law.
