Just last week, the Illinois AG ordered the list of registered gun owners in
the state to be released to the media. Some fear that release could make gun
owners a specific target for burglars. Obvously, if the state doesn't HAVE
such a list, it can't make it public.

Wrong, the AG ordered the State Police to release the list of those
having an FOID card, per an Associated Press freedom of information
act request. It will now be contested within the courts as to privacy
concerns.

I have a FOID card and nary a firearm in the house. The reason to have
a FOID card, relative whom I am on the will has firearms, you can not
sell them if you do not have a card.
