suburbancarry Posted August 11, 2017 at 12:02 PM Share Posted August 11, 2017 at 12:02 PM So I submitted my ccw application recently. I'm already at the QC_VERIFIED stage online however my concern is the next step. The background check. I had one run in with the police in another state when I was younger and stupid. I ended up with a Public Intox about 8 years ago. Well beyond the 5 year mark for most issues when it comes to applying. However this is Illinois. And I'm in Crook county. Anyone else have experience with situations like this? What's my likelyhook of denial/board review so I can stop checking my status online every day.

Frank Posted August 11, 2017 at 12:30 PM Share Posted August 11, 2017 at 12:30 PM If it was eight years ago in another state, you should be okay. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but a law enforcement agency can only object based on information in their possession. -- Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly B. Posted August 11, 2017 at 02:28 PM Share Posted August 11, 2017 at 02:28 PM I think you should be okay. ISP does the background check that would show any arrests/convictions in other states. Cook County, I think, will only be able to file objections based on incidents occurring in Cook Co.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WitchDoctor Posted August 11, 2017 at 11:50 PM Share Posted August 11, 2017 at 11:50 PM I know guys with some serious charges and a feww arrests that have gotten their CCW permits. They had to do a little work, but you should be fine. As mentioned, eight years ago in another state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinnyb82 Posted August 12, 2017 at 12:17 PM Share Posted August 12, 2017 at 12:17 PM As long as you gave them an accurate address history, I don't see why this should hold you up at all. If you're going to be arrested, then it's better to be arrested in...anywhere but Cook. Sent from my VS987 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The66News Posted August 12, 2017 at 02:19 PM Share Posted August 12, 2017 at 02:19 PM When it comes to Cook County and the fact that the Chicago area is one of the highest crime areas anywhere in the 48 mainland states, sometimes they simply try to make it difficult for ANYONE to get either the CCL or FOID no thanks to those Hillary supporters like Rahm Emanual and others like him, still fighting against us and our rights, some just want you to go through the living heck of the appeals process and all, just to wear you down and see if you lose interest and give up. However, no right is greater for us than our 2nd amendment rights and thus, some lawsuits against the ISP and Chicago both are very costly and bites into their budgets as well as their high premium prices they have to pay on such, not long ago the ISP almost went bankrupt on the appeals thing issues with many and think they realized it was not worth the effort to battle against us lawful citizens. True some of us may have made a bad mistake in the past but then true they can't just hold it against us forever either. I am sure you'll pass just fine, but they may just delay a bit as they usually do. If we all get CCL then there should be no reason to have a separate FOID card, it's like 2 different cards, but the CCL card should yes override the FOID since if we can CARRY guns legally, then what's the point in having to get the FOID too? It's a pointless law and just the state raking in more $$$ needlessly by just playing games all the time with our Constitutional rights in this state, just another reason we're leaving!

suburbancarry Posted August 24, 2017 at 05:58 PM Author Share Posted August 24, 2017 at 05:58 PM Well it's been 37 days so I think I'm in the clear? I'm still at QC_verified. Do they have 30 days from when you clicked submit? Or 30 days from when they touch your application to start the BG check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you submitted prints, they have 90 days. That means they have to compete the background check by day 60 to allow for the 30 day objection window before 90 days are up.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using TapatalkAlthough I am still a bit confused about how they do it vs the language in the bill. To me it reads like you submit the app, within 10 days you are in database and they have 30 days to object, but based on posts, it isnt that straightforward. (j) No later than 10 days after receipt of a completed application, the Department shall enter the relevant information about the applicant into the database under subsection (i) of this Section which is accessible by law enforcement agencies. (Source: P.A. 98-63, eff. 7-9-13; 98-600, eff. 12-6-13; 99-29, eff. 7-10-15.) (430 ILCS 66/15) Sec. 15. Objections by law enforcement agencies. (a) Any law enforcement agency may submit an objection to a license applicant based upon a reasonable suspicion that the applicant is a danger to himself or herself or others, or a threat to public safety. The objection shall be made by the chief law enforcement officer of the law enforcement agency, or his or her designee, and must include any information relevant to the objection. If a law enforcement agency submits an objection within 30 days after the entry of an applicant into the database, the Department shall submit the objection and all information available to the Board under State and federal law related to the application to the Board within 10 days of completing all necessary background checks.
