    The shooter was 21 years old 9 months prior to the incident. He could have obtained a FOID card on his own when he reached 21. The father's action became moot when the shooter was eligible on his own.

    That's a "should be" argument, but the judge is making an "is" argument. Does Illinois require "sponsorship" to get the card? If so, and the father knew of the son's history, by law he could be imperiled. It sounds like he's going to let the jury decide.

    In before "he could of got the gun in Indiana anyway..."
