When I asked for that info under the FIA 2+ yrs ago, I was told it wasn't tracked. One officer told me that it was at one time, but halted somewhere around 1994.
Daley first took office in 1989.
How difficult could it be? They DO fill out an incident report, right? check the box: FOID? Yes.....no
'course, 1st they gotta catch the shooter!

Another interesting fact that I can't find the source for but I'm sure I read. In some states with LTC laws, initially the law required an annual report to be filed with the state re: crimes committed by LTC holders. After a few years of licensing, that requirement was dropped becsause there were very few if any to report and the expense of the report was deemed to be in excess of the benefit.
Maybe I'll think of or stumble onto the source.

The Roman Empire fell due to a large, corrupt government, overspending, an overextended military, insecure borders, and the illegal immigration of Goths, barbarians (anyone who was not educated), and religious fanatics. Sound familiar?

Just more pointless rambling coming from my keyboard.
I gave an oath when I enlisted in the United States Navy,
"...to defend the Constitution of the United States of America, against all enemies, foreign and domestic..."
Though I may no longer be enlisted, and no longer have an obligation to the U.S. Navy, I still have a moral obligation to my country, my freedom, and the protection of my family.
I will stand by that oath for as long as I live.

I would like to remind everyone we have a meeting Tue. evening at 5:30 and Pearl Hawks has been invited to explain her side of the issue. She was told to bring anybody that is against CC that she wanted to to speak against the issue & she was told to please bring facts not feelings so we will see if she shows up. We could use about 40 people for this one because the media will be there in full force if they know the anti's are showing up.

Looks like I should be able to make this one. Will this be held @ the County Administration Building?

Ok here's a better update, now that I don't have a burrito in my hand.
There was no coverage by the media, possibly one guy from a newspaper.
No Pearl and no one against us, no new faces either.
The main thing they did was enter on the record some data they received from the Rockford PD.
Then they went through the resolution and cut out some parts they didn't like, eg no longer leaving in the part that makes who's a permit holder public record and they were checking into why there was a passage that considered .05 a DUI instead of following Illinois State Law.
That's about it, next meeting in two weeks.

Okay so that's:
0.2543 or .0025 % of annual (2007, I believe someone mentioned) applications denied
0.0004325 or .0000043% of FOID cardholders revoked (too bad they didn't give a breakdown by and possible reasons for revocation, e.g. death, arrest, conviction, etc.)

Shouldn't that be .030677 or 3% of annual applications denied and .0043158 or .43% of FOID cardholders per year revoked?
