  1. I don't know who to contact but I think it's unfair that I have a FOID and can carry or defend on my property or place of business but can't also have it available in my vehicle without a CCW. Even though I meet ALL the requirements and paid all fees to getting a CCW I was still denied due to reasonable suspicion language in the act 430 ILCS 66/15 (a). This gives police or board any reason to deny even for something that happened as a teenager. If non-residents of Chicago with a ccl but no FOID can carry in their vehicles loaded, Then why can't FOID holders have this option as well? I don't need to carry a gun on me everywhere I go but would like to have more flexibility on transporting. I don't necessarily want to deal with a possible dishonest cop that may my load my transported firearm and say I was conceal carry unlawfully. I read stories of this happening. I'm currently still appealing my denial from Chicago PD from an arrest from Oak Forest PD 12 years ago that was dismissed in court. My appeal in court was lost (7/17/16) because the judge said "even though she would have judged me differently she couldn't change or overturn the decision of the board." My argument was not to use an arrest that was dismissed by a judge and sealed in expungement as means to label me as a danger to myself and others. So now the board looks at that the details of that arrest as fact and true and by them I'm convicted of doing those things from a false police report that was not confirmed as fact. I would have challenged the statements in that police report back then but wasn't allowed access to that knowledge till now. My girl-friend back then didn't disclose she fabricated all the extra details. I apologize for this long message but I just wanted to but this out there for some direction. I don't have money to waste on a random attorney that will get me nowhere. If the FOID was more flexible then I wouldn't necessarily struggle for the CCW. Clarence
