  1. Convictions if I am not mistaken can only be sealed. They cannot be expunged. Only arrests and if the person was on supervision can that be expunged. ISP has said they will fight tooth and nail to deny any applicant that has been arrested for domestic violence, doesn't even have to end with a conviction. But Local Law Enforcement would most likely deny the applicant regardless of how many years the incident has happened. Several on this board have been placed under board review for things that were only an arrest and something that happened more than 10 years ago. Getting denied will end up costing several thousand dollars and as it stands right now, there is no due process so best to wait it out and get yourself a good attorney.
  2. Rocker I like your "no gun for Billy." So animated! Ha! Anyway you got a great point there.
  3. Chrislinger! Thanks so much! But thank Molly! She and Todd has been working their butts off. Hopefully what we can do is get enough lawsuits going where the board will only be able to deny if certain tangible criteria are met and it must be like 5 to 7 arrests.
  4. Jaystrum I have received a request from the review board and they asked me the same question 2x and in each case they got another 30 day extension. They dont' have any legal grounds to deny me so they are just going to make me wait. I truly hate this state, always have and will move out if I get denied.
  5. thank molly by donating to her website! $25 gets you a membership and all members will be added to the suit.
  6. Transplant thanks so much for donating! We really love Valinda! She is quite a woman and hopefully this mess will be straightened out. It would be great if we could file a suit to base the decisions on "convictions" and not arrests or worse, using police reports as evidence!
  7. OK GUYS! I JUST DONATED ANOTHER $25 DOLLARS! THANK VALINDA BY BREAKING OUT YOUR PLASTIC AND DONATE A FEW BUCKS. THANKS!
  8. Wow! If you read the definition of "patient" it also includes anybody who has even went as an "outpatient." The state of Illinois is the only state that will revoke your FOID even as an outpatient which is sad because no other states have that clause. Rumor has it even though statute says "outpatient" as well, ISP will only revoke your FOID if you go in as an "inpatient." I guess the statute is purposely left vague so they can have the flexibility to revoke your card.
  9. Congrats Storm! Hope everybody gets their licenses. Had I known about all this, I would have waited.
  10. So in other words, we can have it in our cars, to our friends house, and back to our house...lol
  11. California has the toughest gun laws.....few sorry for those that live there.
  12. CNWFan3, no the LEO told me only if someone in the police report said someone was making a threat. I don't think they would object to a false fire alarm. But from what I am taking from this, LEO's are objecting for liability reasons so if the guy who seemed a danger ends up doing something horrible, at least they said they did everything they could and the omen was on the board. Either way, I think too many here are getting too worked up for nothing. I mean in two months we will all know for sure what is going on but unless you are clearly a deranged person, any lawyer worth his salt will be able to get any denial be it ISP for statute reasons or board, overturned. I mean if you have a valid FOID card and you only got arrested for maybe 1 thing, and even if you never got arrested no convictions, unless they can prove their case by a preponderance of evidence, which has to prove you a danger to others, they will not be able to win in a circuit court. Again the LEO can basically object to any reason even a hunch
