Topic clearly says FOID. For most of us the FOID is a precursor to the FCCL so I'd imagine there are grounds for a complaint if delaying the FOID leads to a delay in the FCCL Right about FOID only I was just trying to see if State Police is following the law and either approve or deny all applications within 30 days from the date the applications are received. On the State Police application page they have a notices that reads. ATTENTION! Currently the Illinois State Police Firearms Services Bureau is experiencing a record number of Firearm Owner Identification (FOID) card applications each month. Accordingly, the Illinois State Police encourages applicants to allow ample time for production and delivery of their new/renewed cards.
