Beezil Posted December 1, 2010 at 03:54 PM Share Posted December 1, 2010 at 03:54 PM I wanted to keep track of the number of permits issued and the rate at which they are being applied for. Just trying to get a little idea here.... I also realize some may be reluctant to state thier number......For those of you reading this who are unfamiliar with the numbering convention of the CFP, currently, they are issued in assending numerical order, beginning with "AA" As I understand it, the first several numbers issued starting with AA00001 were used for testing purposes, and I think we can generally assume, that there may have been permits issued internally at the onset. At any rate, I received my CFP in early august, many weeks after the ordinance took effect, and my permit is numbered only a few past "AA00100" How many permits do you think have been issued so far?

Ours are similar. I'm guess less than 500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomad Posted December 1, 2010 at 04:16 PM Share Posted December 1, 2010 at 04:16 PM Wow. That means hundreds of thousands are currently "criminals" in the eyes of the Chicago regime. When a majority of the people don't follow a law (or ordinance), the people are not the problem, the law is the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ming Posted December 1, 2010 at 05:34 PM Share Posted December 1, 2010 at 05:34 PM I applied relatively early and my number was in the 400s, so I'd be surprised if the total was not significantly over 500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicago guy Posted December 1, 2010 at 09:48 PM Share Posted December 1, 2010 at 09:48 PM Got mine at the end of Sept. It was in the upper 500's--very upper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstrat Posted December 6, 2010 at 04:59 PM Share Posted December 6, 2010 at 04:59 PM NPR story this morning:http://www.wbez.org/story/5-months-after-gun-ban-eliminated They say about 1200 issued. It was a pretty unremarkable story (there was a lot more they could have said) - but at least they drew a little attention to the fact that otherwise-law-abiding Chicago residents are frustrated by the CFP and choosing not to comply.

RandyP Posted December 13, 2010 at 01:40 PM Share Posted December 13, 2010 at 01:40 PM All of which does not bode well for any hope to get any change for the better here in Chicago and the rest of Cook County. Now that there is a legal avenue for resident gun owners to return to law abiding status, choosing to ignore the ordinance tells the politicians that there are NO legal gun owners in Chicago to worry about, no why bother? 1500 votes isn't enough to lose sleep over. Not at a City, County or State level. Chicago rule continues as before, and with total gun hating Rahm in the wings? Expect it to get worse, locally and down in Springpatch.

RandyP Posted December 13, 2010 at 04:49 PM Share Posted December 13, 2010 at 04:49 PM Saw that we got a full page report in the Trib this morning. It seems to me to be relativley unbiased reporting too. I am happy I did not respond to the call for Chicagoans to interview last week. I would not want my full name & pic in the paper to let the gang bangers know which house to break into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not want my full name & pic in the paper to let the gang bangers know which house to break into. We have two rules, 1. we don't allow the outside of our house to be photographed and 2. we don't allow photographs of us holding guns (we've been asked!). We were interviewed for the piece and photographed, but ultimately weren't in the story, which is fine by me. I'd rather see new people in the stories so that it doesn't appear to be the same small group, which can be discounted as crackpots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
