I'm pretty sure FOID card holders in this state represent more than 2 percent of the voters. Given that it's well over 2 million, that's about 15 percent or more.

Even if repealed by ballot, what's to prevent them from passing another bill within a week? Maybe one that's worse?

 

Optics.

 

If they pass another bill the same as or worse than the law the voters just nixed, they appear dictatorial.

 

Not saying they wouldn't do it...it is Illinois after all.

 

They'd quietly amend the FOID act to remove the ballot repeal clause before it ever went to an actual vote

Foid as much as we detest it has actually been useful to our side....if dems could step back they probably themselves would repeal...one thing i am fully on board is a ccw should suffice for the foid...requirement on both is simply idiotic

 

Not following... Please explain how you think the FOID is positive to Illinois Gun owners?

We got a slightly less crappy UBC law than other states (not that they intend to leave it that way)

 

That's pretty much all I can think of

I could be an anomaly, but my experience in Indiana is much better than in Illinois.

 

I have yet to be delayed on a purchase or transfer - which was my norm in Illinois. But it could just be an anomaly. ..

 

If comparing NY, NJ, or Ca, I’m with ya 100%

I was referring to the person-to-person FOID verification (as opposed to the usual UBC of having to go through a FFL all the time)

 

But yes, its only advantage is compared to other states with with the full 4473 UBC law, its still a downgrade from states like IN, although I'm 100% positive IL would have the CA-style UBC now if it didn't already have the FOID
