Gun-rights advocates are doubly relieved with Peoria County Circuit Judge Michael Brandt's ruling that blocks the names of Illinois' 1.3 million gun-card holders from being released to the public.

Brandt's decision comes after Illinois legislators passed a law earlier this year barring access to the names of people who hold firearm owner's identification (FOID) cards from the public.

"We all know legislators are only as good as their word until the next election," said Richard Pearson, director of the Illinois State Rifle Association. "Now we've got a legislative decision and a court decision."

That is a surprise coming from the state of Illinois. But a welcome one.
