Well, your card is still valid now and they should take, but tough to say. I get them wanting to be careful and not risk license. It's a matter of the FFL policies. When the Covid rules first started, many would still not accept a card past its printed expired date but I havent read that lately.Dealers are required to check FOID card and they can see its active and Covid rules should be familiar now but a dealer may decline to sell ammunition and/or a firearm if they so choose. Policies on this will vary from store to store Thanks for this. I think you’re right that’s it’s definitely going to be per the FFL’s own rules on whether to accept my FOID. If I am reading all the rules and announcements correctly, as long as I have the following my FOID should be valid: (1) I had a valid FOID card that expired during the Covid emergency rules; AND (2) I have submitted the paperwork (on ISP FSB website) to have it renewed; AND (3) I renewed within the timeframe set by ISP (now 18 months) THEN: My current FOID card is still legally valid even though I’m still waiting for ISP to approve of my renewal. Now let’s just hope I can convince some FFLs of this. Has anyone been tracking which FFLs are more understanding of this situation versus the ones who are much more strict? Because I don’t think I am going to get my renewal approved before the Presidential election.
