If you let your FOID expire, you’re an “irresponsible gun owner”

[RS1]

Try that in court. Judges can always use a laugh.

Hopefully soon we won’t have to worry about the FOID

[Raw Power]

You can drive on a license for 1 year after it expired. The same should be applied to a FOID especially since just about no where wants to take it as a form of identification, even though it's state issued and comes with full background checks every day.

[biggun 1]

the isp can,t usually get anything related to ccl or foid done in the alloted time but they sure have time to attempt to make illinois gun owners look like the bad guy one day after the permission slip expires.maybe the isp should put the trooper who made the statement to work getting ccl and foid sent out on time instead of telling folks how they bad for not renueing on time.

You DO have a year to renew your expired IL DL... if you are caught driving you face fines, vehicle impoundment and worse should you be involved in an accident or bad behavior. You also become ineligible for vehicle insurance, an additional can of worms.

 

So no... you CANNOT drive for a year on an expired DL.

 

It would be nice if you had a year to renew a CCL... but ya sure can’t carry on an expired CCL without having submitted renewal before expiration.

Ok. Oh, wait. It's already been done numerous times in various other cases.

The state simply can't get their ish together. I know 2 people with valid FOID cards AND a medical cannabis license.

That is permitted in IL. Allows private sales but wont pass a federal check from 4473.

I want to see the look on the dolts faces if they pass their mandatory universal background check at the Federal level and all those marijuna users be it medical or recreational in the liberal states fail the new mandatory universal background check and either become prohibited people or commit purgery on their background checks and become felons over that.

[Colt guy]

What are the odds that pot will be legalized on the federal level ? Pretty good I would guess.

Oh, my Sig is a smoking device, just not marijuana. I tried drinking an ice cold IPA from it and you can imagine how that went. Lol!

 

Guns and alcohol don’t mix. Of course that’s a good thing, what would this world be like if the liquids in containers mixed with them?

The FOID is 100% unconstitutional and therefore is not a "law". It's an illegal rule that IL forces upon gun owners at the threat of being put in a cage. It's a civil rights violation of the worst kind.

The only reason it's still around is that we as gun owners have allowed it to stand and continue to blindly follow the rule.

Correction, the only reason it's still around is because it is very difficult to challenge and we've never had the votes to repeal it.

With roughly 8 million registered voters and 2 million plus FOID holders 2% seems possible should it ever get there.

 

Is this ballot question the only way to repeal? What about the bills introduced to repeal the FOID? Should a miracle occur and one made it to/through committee and past the ILGA is the above still required?

[Buzzard]

 

 

How about the ISP being responsible and sending out notices sufficiently in advance of cards expiring, running an effective customer service and processing applications in timely manner as prescribed by law?

 

AGREED!!

 

See what happens when other members add to the conversation/post instead of trashing others on certain things that weren’t done a certain way?

How can we get the ball rolling on this?

 

 

How about contacting Fox Illinois and politely asking for equal time to make a counter point on the issue and informing Fox that the ISP frequently runs afoul of Illinois law, by not processing card renewals in the legally allotted time.

 

And that Trooper Mindy Carroll saying expired FOID card holders "may indicate an irresponsible gun owner" just may be a case of "the pot calling the kettle black."

[Buzzard]

Can I therefore assume that carrying an expired concealed card card (while not carrying a weapon) is also bad juju?

I don't recall this being discussed in either the original carry class nor the renewal class.

A quick Google search reveals Illinois has 7.99 million active registered voters and 758,000 inactive registered voters (whatever that means). 2% of all registered voters in Illinois would mean 175,000 signatures needed.

Trooper Carroll is, according to other sources, the "Central Region Publication Officer". She should stick to the mantra the ISP used for years about "not offering legal advice".

 

If I was a betting man, I'd wager that jobs like hers are just as politically motivated as those occupied by Sgt John Thompson and Lieutenant Darrin Clark back in 2013, both of whom signed witness slips in favor of Quimby's CCW veto, but also testified in front of the Legislature's veto session in favor of the Governor's veto, claiming that without a 100% alcohol service ban, CCW folks would enter restaurants to drink themselves to the point of intoxication while armed to avoid the bar (51%) ban.

 

While I found no record of Thompson or Carroll on the state employee website, Clark is back, now as "Government Affairs Chief", BTW, so if his behavior remains consistent we can expect more dishonesty about guns under the guise of authority.

She made the assumption that people MAY (happy bubbacs?) be irresponsible gun owners if they dont renew their FOID. Another route she could have taken would have been to say when people fail to renew their FOID, there are certain risks that come with that. Boom! Done! No controversy. She made a blanket statement declaring that people who dont renew are possibly dangerous/irresponsible with firearms (responsibility while owning guns), which therefor is political language (responsible gun owner) frequently used buy our opponents in order to make the impression that theyre pro 2A. See below

 

https://www.responsibleownership.org/#

 

And

 

https://www.responsibleownership.org/take-the-pledge

 

As a responsible gun owners, I pledge to:

 

-Practice safe gun storage. I will keep my firearms and ammunition locked and separate, when not in use. (Is this not what we are fighting against? Safe storage laws?)

 

-Support universal background check requirements. I will not sell or buy a firearm without a background check. (No brained, we are against this)

 

-Support the rights of my fellow citizens to be free from intimidation by the open display of firearms in public. I will avoid the unnecessary carrying of firearms in public, particularly in places where children are present. (Making open carry where its legal a bad thing)

 

-Always make gun safety a priority in my home, in the field or on the range.

Thats Gabby Giffords group btw. And that is what a responsible gun owner is............

 

 

If we dont adapt and allow some new tactics, we are finished. The pushback on that is troubling, because even the antis seem to get it. Why dont we as a whole?
