winja Posted August 27, 2012 at 08:56 PM Share Posted August 27, 2012 at 08:56 PM yes winja. pm me withthe dissabling infoor call me 708-218-2180 would it be more helpful if i called or if we just continue via PM's? Well, I believe he's on a road trip at the present time. He said "PM or call" so if you want to get things going I'd call. He also mentioned in a different thread (I think) that Emails are easier for him to respond to than PMs are. I'd just give him a call. If he doesn't pick up - leave a message. ok, im not in a HUGE hurry by any means, it has after all been 20 years LOL i have to head out for work in a short time today so i will give him a call tomorrow in the afternoon. thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drailoe Posted December 12, 2012 at 04:41 AM Share Posted December 12, 2012 at 04:41 AM Hi guys, so glad I found this topic as it also pertains to my situation as well.I too have had a felony conviction, several to be honest, when I was much younger. The last was approx. 20 years ago, but I have been a model Citizen since, raising a family and working my butt off. The convictions were all non-violent, non drug-related, and no weapons. In truth they were mostly burglary thefts from cars (ignorant stuff like cassettes, radar detectors, etc.).I have been given at least some of my Civil Rights back, as I have been a registered and active voter since the '08 election cycle, and of late I have been wondering about my 2A status. I've missed out on a lot of hunting with friends, and one of my sons is an avid hunter today and I would love to participate with him.Reading through the posts it seems I may have some path toward relief, and with the current political landscape in Illinois I am hoping this might be true. True, Maddigan and the current court system present a huge obstacle, but I would like to hear some of your input on the current situation before I pursue court action or a foid application.Any info would be greatly appreciated.TY,Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
