Because it is your choice to ignore... You probably want an "invisible" feature. You can create "invisible" through private conversations. Creating a thread on a public forum does not give you ownership. I suppose someone will need to quote this for John to see it. Editing to add that I often enjoy your comments and insight, JQP. Cheers, Tim

I imagine most Illinoisans pass them on quietly, without involvement from ISP or FFLs. Kind of like PICA compliance in Illinois. Cheers, Tim

Too much hype - much like the discussions over PICA after it was forced upon us. Obviously we, or RI or any other jurisdiction, must fight it. It should not be allowed to become law. Yet many of the things they are afraid of were big concerns in Illinois, and voiced here at Illinois Carry. They never came to pass, for the most part. There have been no raids, no confiscations, and most owners just ignored it or "never heard about" PICA. Repeal PICA and ban similar law, nationwide. Cheers, Tim

We already have concealed carry. PICA is all but forgotten by most. The FOID seems normalized. We wait for the courts. We could all vow to remember IGOLD for 2027 and remind our legislators that we remember and still care. Cheers, Tim

I have often wondered, and perhaps you know... is a C&R FFL qualified to keep the records? Thanks, Tim

SCOTUS does not answer to the President. Nor do the states. Or Congress. Cheers, Tim

Only three. Cheers, Tim

I am not sure what you are getting at. I supplied fingerprints as one of the first group of CCL applicants, instructors. Ever since the automatic FOID renewal began, My FOID has been extended for ten years beyond the purchase of a firearm via an FFL. It works exactly as was described. This includes the whole ya can't use your RN/LPN prints for your CCL and you can't use your CCL prints for your liquor or cannabis sales license. I presume that once my prints are in the system... they can and will be used in any law enforcement investigation. This should be the expectation of everyone. Mine have been in the system for decades. We are the good guys. Zero problems. Cheers, Tim

Since no one else has responded on this beautiful Sunday... I don't understand what you had to file, or why, but if there is any anomaly in your application, it's just going to take longer than an application without problems. Hope it comes through soon. Keep us posted. Cheers, Tim

... but they wanna do that, too. Cheers, Tim

We live in a time where you must offer immediate proof, of many things. And you still might be taken away. Ihre Papiere, bitte. Cheers, Tim

It is so easy to carry a FOID/CCL card. Not all LEO know the rules. Be prepared. Hope he wins... Cheers, Tim

It's not a complete waste of money... A Florida non-res adds New Mexico to the list for us Illinoisans. Cheers, Tim

If he's in Illinois and wants to buy ammo here using that Illinois DL he needs to show his FOID. If his credit card shows up as an Illinois billing address, he probably needs a FOID. Not sure if an out-of-stater can still by ammo in Illinois. I hope you keep us updated as to how he has two DL and and why! The Cabela's in Hammond needed to see my FOID once because of the Illinois credit card address... no problem. I learned to order what I actually wanted on-line for less instead of trying to find it in a local store. I kinda miss buying .22 bricks at KMart. Cheers, Tim

Since the election nears and no one has done this yet, here are links to the campaign pages of the Republican candidates for Senate. My very brief observations: One candidate mentions the 2A. One candidate seems to be more of an extension of MAGA. I included brief quotes from some web sights as pertinent to me. I am certain I missed things important to you... Please do your own research. Discuss, explore, choose a good one. R. Cary Capparelli Casey Chibek (Introducing the MAGNA & MULA Agendas Casey’s 2026 campaign is grounded in two powerful pillars:) Jeannie Evans (Having lost my brother as an innocent victim of drug-related gun violence at age 21, and having witnessed the devastating impact of crime on Chicago’s South Side where I raised my family, I will work to make our communities safer. I will support our law enforcement officers to create new solutions and ensure they have the tools and resources they need to protect our families, neighborhoods, and businesses.)
