Okay, just for fun and self abuse I'll reply to this one to see if I might understand what's going on with my FOID card.
Got the letter from the state telling me that my card expires in 2024, but the expiration date on the card says May of this year. Tried to check/renew on the website and of course got NO WHERE with that one. Waiting for reply emails from the state as I type this.
Without reading all eight pages of replies I am now thinking that they have extended the expiration date to coincide with that of the Concealed Carry License. Perhaps they might even send me a new FOID Card in near future without any expiration date. If not I'll be carrying a copy of the letter should someone feel the need to refuse to accept the concealed carry license and and expired FOID Card.
Do I have it correct? Will the "expired" FOID and current CCL with the letter get me weapons/ammo should my loading bench stop supplying my needs?
I'll check back latter this evening to see if the stronger intelligence give me comment/answers to the questions above.
