WARFACE Posted December 10, 2016 at 04:33 PM Share Posted December 10, 2016 at 04:33 PM Surprised there were any charges at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauserme Posted December 10, 2016 at 04:35 PM Share Posted December 10, 2016 at 04:35 PM It could have been an expired FOID card, or a first offense for possession if he was otherwise eligible for a FOID. Either of those is a Class A. With 3 attempted murder charges and a felony aggravated discharge, that's going to be the least of his worries.

McCroskey Posted December 10, 2016 at 05:02 PM Share Posted December 10, 2016 at 05:02 PM https://www.dnainfo.com/chicago/20161209/university-village/little-italy-business-owner-charged-after-firing-shots-at-police Why would he be charged with misdemeanors for the aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and possession without a valid FOID card? Aren't these charges felonies? They were just piling everything on they could think of. No different from someone who gets arrested for felony aggravated fleeing and eluding also getting charged with failing to wear a seatbelt.

Chicago312 Posted December 10, 2016 at 05:05 PM Author Share Posted December 10, 2016 at 05:05 PM Hes screwed anyway but i thought any illegal gun possession was a felony? I was charged with agg. uuw for my offense and I never pointed it or was in possession while committing a crime. The states attorney must be a frequent customer at his daddy's lemonade stand.

mauserme Posted December 10, 2016 at 05:45 PM Share Posted December 10, 2016 at 05:45 PM There are ways it can be a felony under the FOID Act, and also under UUW and AUUW. It depends on the circumstances of the possession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkroenlein Posted December 10, 2016 at 07:06 PM Share Posted December 10, 2016 at 07:06 PM These are also booking charges. IDK about Chicago, but around here they usually book people on obvious minimum stuff for holding purposes. The SA can and almost definitely will upgrade some, drop others.

SiliconSorcerer Posted December 27, 2016 at 03:16 PM Share Posted December 27, 2016 at 03:16 PM I know someone pulled over with over a 1/2 pound of pot in baggies (making deliveries) and a firearm with no FOID, two misdemeanors no lawyer and he was slightly inconvenienced, even the court costs weren't that much. We have entire cities that have chosen to ignore federal laws why should we expect the people to be any different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, I know of someone (non gang banger) who was illegally carrying a loaded firearm, per the letter of the law. He was charged with misdemeanor illegal transport of a firearm.

All Pro Posted December 29, 2016 at 07:47 PM Share Posted December 29, 2016 at 07:47 PM Rumor has it that the CCSAO is not charging weapons violations, if you have a foid. They are worried about being sued for abuse of process.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
