Molly B. Posted July 12, 2019 at 03:18 PM Share Posted July 12, 2019 at 03:18 PM Information gathering: Has anyone had any problems with law enforcement because of carrying on an expired CCL while their renewal was being processed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mck024 Posted July 12, 2019 at 04:06 PM Share Posted July 12, 2019 at 04:06 PM I was pulled over by Indiana SP while my IL CCL was in process of renewal. The officer asked if I had a firearm and then to see my card. Aside from a speeding ticket, everything went fine. He said the "system" showed I had a valid CCL.

InterestedBystander Posted July 12, 2019 at 07:29 PM Share Posted July 12, 2019 at 07:29 PM No issues or personal knowledge but the ISP certainly has not done a good job of education here at renewal time. Saw a post elsewhere that when a guy talked to his Chief of Police, they said while it is technically still active in the ISP system, you are required by law to carry a valid card, if showing expired it's not valid.

Someone is looking into that. It might just be a case of an LEO not knowing the law. The Chief who said the card had to be valid is not interpreting the law correctly. Wish we knew who that is.

Quiet Observer Posted July 12, 2019 at 10:02 PM Share Posted July 12, 2019 at 10:02 PM I think that we are getting 2nd person quotes and paraphrasing here from other sources. The chief was right, as far as is stated in the link. He apparently did not give a full explanation. That CCL with an expired date is valid card, as long as 70 c applies. Section 70 (c ) A license is invalid upon expiration of the license, unless the licensee has submitted an application to renew the license, and the applicant is otherwise eligible to possess a license under this Act.

Tango7 Posted July 13, 2019 at 02:25 AM Share Posted July 13, 2019 at 02:25 AM I got pulled over for no headlights while using wipers. The officer let me go with a verbal admonition, and as he was leaving said "Oh, your concealed carry is expired". I replied that I had applied for a renewal, and was stuck waiting. He nodded and said "They don't make it easy for gun owners in this state, do they?", smiled and walked back to his squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted July 14, 2019 at 09:48 AM Share Posted July 14, 2019 at 09:48 AM In the email ISP sent me immediately after I renewed, it said NOT to be concerned, as long as you renewed BEFORE your card expires. I will be copying and carrying that Email in my wallet, just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
