Questions about "Under Board Review"


Recommended Posts

So my application has been under board review since 02/2016. I've been looking around the forums and im guessing I might be getting a answer in the next couple of months? I had a arrest about 10yrs ago for something that was dropped in court and never convicted of. I know thats why it went into under board review, but my foid has never been suspended and always been active and i can still buy guns. I don't understand how they can allow you to have a active foid and allow you to buy a gun but yet takes them over a year to still not issue a CCL.

Is there anything i can possibly do? Or i just have to sit and play their waiting game? If you get an objection in the mail saying they need another 30days you should be able to start the appeal right away so you can send the correct paperwork in and not have to wait for them to deny you so you can start the appeal.

 

 

We believe, according to the Firearm concealed Carry Act, the CCL Review Board is only allowed ONE request for 30 more days and they should include who objected and why in the very first letter.

Every letter I get each month says there was an objection from a local law enforcement agency and the review board needs another 30days. I've never had any letter with who objected it and why. I just get the same exact letter but with just a different date.

When the CCL Review Board gets to your application they will either overrule the objection or they will send you a letter stating who objected and why. They will offer you an opportunity to respond to the objections in your own behalf and tell your side of the story.

It took the board 15 months to finally send me something other than those letters that say they have another 30 days. They will post something on your ISP account and send you a letter in the mail. I've responded to both with a summary of what I'm involved with at this moment and that I take responsibility for my past actions. Now, it is up to them to see if I qualify for something that allows me to protect my life in this crazy city of Chicago. i appreciate this forum and Molly B. for providing resources and a sense of hope that it all will work out.

And if you are denied, that is not the end. There are appeals and other options as well.

So if and when they get to mine and say they send a letter with the objection and who obj it, Do i just have my lawyer get the court records stating i was never charged or found guilty for the objection? What all do you need to send back to the ISP if they want more information? I want to get everything ready so when they either override mine or sent the objection letter I'll have everything all ready to send back.

I went to the markham courthouse this week and was able to get my own certified statements of disposition. no lawyer needed. 9 bucks per disposition. they also have computers in the lobby that you can use to look yourself up and see what past/current charges you had/have. or going to 35th and Michigan and getting your rap sheet. I applied for florida ccl and they sent me the reasons why they put me under review. Illinois in 14 letters stating they needed another 30 days never mentioned who or why I had an objection. too late now but would've been a good idea to first look yourself up and get records expunged then apply for ccl.

I was under board review since December 2015 and my status changed to under review today. I thought I didn't have a prayer. I submitted a hand written letter to the board stating that I accepted responsibility for my past poor decisions and included my desire to continually advocate for the safety of the public through my work as a counselor for DUI and Domestic Violence offenders. I didn't even submit any type of court documents because I believed there was nothing else to explain about my past arrests that were being questioned. I was under so much unnecessary stress that I caused myself because of this and I am glad that it has worked out in my favor. I hope that everyone that is going through what I have, can understand the responsibility the board has in order to distinguish if the applicant is truly qualified for this privilege.

Congratulations, carry safe and continue doing what you're doing.

Hey guys I've been a member for a little bit but this is the first time I posting

I also experiencing the same problem I submitted my application back in Mid September 2016

I received a letter in mid January 2017 that they had received an objection from a law enforcement agency

Two weeks later I received the first letter of three saying that the board needs 30 more days to review

Not my story may been the same as everybody here in this regard but this is where it changes

When I first applied for my foid card I experience something similar

It took nearly 16 months to get my card because at one time I had been a victim of identity theft

It required me having myself giving in finger print several times having a judge order proving that someone was using my identity

And multiple background checks. Before they eventually gave me my card. One would think that after all of that most of that information is still in the system somewhere

I even submitted my fingerprints for my carry license to make sure there was no confusion upon who I was

But it looks like I'm gonna be in for the long wait once again Very frustrating

Unfortunately, once an objection has been filed against an application, it must go to the review board for review. If you believe this is a case of mistaken identity, please send me a private message.

Not sure what you mean by if the applicant is qualified for this privilege? If we were not qualified to carry "legally" than we should have never been given a foid card. The foid card gives a person the ability to buy as many weapons as they want and carry if they wanted (obviously carrying illegally though).

 

Not trying to come off as mean or anything but its the truth. If someone poses a threat to themselves or anyone else they should not be granted a foid card because a foid card, in a sense, gives the individual all the freedom they want or at least need. Unfortunately, for us law abiding citizens we wont risk carrying illegally because we fear that are rights will be stripped from us. But I am sure that a criminal felon does not think twice.

 

I just wished there was something we could all do to change the system because this is seriously a bunch of b/s. I mean if someone is denied a CCL because they are deemed to be a risk to themselves or others, than why the heck do they have a FOID card in the first place?

i just went under board review a few days ago sadly... Im assuming i have been Darted because i have a squeaky clean record with no prior arrests and no reports of any kind. How can there be any objection from local law enforcement if they dont even know who i am? Is my only option to wait who knows how many months for a response?

If you have had no encounters with law enforcement that resulted in a report or arrest, it is possible this is a case of mistaken identity. Please send me a private message with your full legal name and your application number and we'll get this checked out.
