My wife is currently in the same boat that you are. When we moved, she lost her card. Since we changed addresses, it was time to request a new one. Went on line and did everything on the 14Aug15. Her card went active on 01Sep15 but 16 days later, she still doesn't have her new card. Is ISP getting slammed again or is it that nobody really cares how long they take to get the cards out? Besides the cards recipients of course. There's also door number 3 (which happened to me), the card got lost in the mail. Or door number 4 (in the alternative), the budget issue is throwing a wrench into normal operations (i.e. printing the card, mailing).

No expert here but I thought a valid FOID is a prerequisite so I can't figure out how you could apply for both at the same time.. Thinking back, I had to have an FOID in order to take the CCL classes. You don't have to have a FOID to do the application, however your application won't be accepted until you give them a valid FOID number. At the beginning of the app, just indicate you don't have a FOID and it lets you continue, but tells you the application won't be considered until you come back and enter a valid FOID.

Wisconsin honoring Illinois' license changed the dynamic of which licenses to consider applying for if any. Most people will probably not be interested in applying for UT or AZ now since they figure they can travel to all of the bordering states without needing another license. Now there's also the decision whether to apply for either Florida or Arizona (assuming you don't want to get the UT training or your instructor can't provide it) without a reason to have both as Arizona now lost the advantage of giving you Wisconsin. On one hand, Arizona is about half the price of Florida and you don't need to get a passport photo. However, it's only good for 5 years and you can't carry in Florida. Getting the Florida license gives you an extra two years and is the only license Illinois residents can get to carry in Florida. However, there's the extra hoops of finding a notary and having prints done at a law enforcement agency.

I doubt we'll see a flood of applicants from SC. We won't see many OOS applicants until the bordering states get approved.

Keep in mind the bill says "including, but not limited to" so they could always expand the list besides what's listed in the bill.

Just sent in my payment through Paypal now.

I thought I read sometime awhile ago the judge was a female, never heard the judge's first name until now. lol

Was Stiehl the one that originally heard the Shepard case? If so, don't automatically assume she'll shoot down the case. She might not want to be told twice in a row by the 7th CA that she's wrong on a gun case.

Would Mosley force her to change her mindr? I would be using that if I were here defense lawyer.

Here's a link to the Fox Chicago Video from the noon news: http://www.myfoxchic...ealed-carry-law I couldn't help but laugh at Flannery's comments regarding open carry if the 180 days pass with no legislation, (paraphrasing) "People can carry six shooters like Wyatt Earp on Michigan Avenue!"

I don't know how people go to the U of C without carrying....my companies service van was broken into three times in a 4 month period while our service guys were working a job @ the U of C. That is 3 times, during daylight. I go to UIC, never really a problem on campus, but I still get the crime alert emails all the time of someone who got mugged somewhere off campus. U of C was never a campus that appealed to me.

There's only one more avenue of appeals which is SCOTUS (there is also the chance of en blanc, but the current makeup of the 7th wouldn't favor them and I'm sure the 180 day clock will still be ticking if they get en blanc), theoretically this could be dragged out for probably another year to 18 months in my opinion if it goes to SCOTUS, but SCOTUS would probably not have a favorable opinion to Madigan.

As soon as I got the emails this morning with replies to this thread, I knew what that meant. Great to hear! I just hope Chicago gets forced to allow carry and being a college student I hope to be able to carry on campus, but something tells me I'll be out of luck on that. I'm confident Todd will do the best he can. Illinois can appeal it to SCOTUS, but I don't think the current makeup favors them and as mentioned, there's some states that don't want SCOTUS to answer this question (NY,CA, etc). However, on Fox, Mike Flannery was talking about states with may issue not wanting this to go to SCOTUS. But isn't there a court case regarding Maryland already in the pipeline regarding may issue?
