  1. You are doing everything right. DL address then renew AND change address for FOID (will auto update CCL and fee). It will be a while before your new FOID and CCL come, especially with the address change. Your FFL should accept your current CCL and run that for any background check (they are or will be the same number)
  2. Bob, do you have any experience with this? I do. He has already submitted the application. There is NOTHING he can do until the ISP replies to the application, NOTHING. No matter what his record is he must wait on the ISP reply. EVERYTHING else is a waste of his time. To the OP. You will get a lot of "expert" advice here. Choose any answer you want but reality is, you have started the process and you must wait it out. Every time you alter the process the waiting period starts all over again. So what you are saying is that the OP should not check his criminal record in Cook County at all. Just sit and twiddle his thumbs helplessly. If he checks his record and sees no felonies, then he's good and can stop worrying. If he checks his record and sees a felony, he can start researching expungement or sealing programs. Telling someone to sit on their butt and do nothing is not productive. Nor is giving useless advice. It may or may not give him peace of mind. It WILL NOT change want he has started. He MUST wait on the ISP reply before he can do anything else. Sending someone on a wild goose chase is not productive. I've walked the walk, have you or is it just YOUR opinion?

  4. Non-violent felony over 20 years is pretty trouble free. They will tell you why your were denied (if you are). You will need to send them back a letter explaining how you have changed and wont do that again. Plus short letters from 3 references. Hang in there. You'll make it.
  5. Welcome to the forum Frank, I have helped 2 people through the process you have started. Don't waste your money on a lawyer yet. You took the proper first step. If your felony was non-violent you will get your FOID after a couple more steps. The ISP will either approve your FOID application on turn it down. When they deny your application they will send you instructions on how to appeal. It is a simple process and you can do it all yourself. Just follow the instructions the ISP sends you. I really doubt a lawyer can cut any time out of the process. AND don't waste your time running down rap sheets and arrest records. My 2 guys didn't need them.
  6. The only solution I see at this time is for you to scan the signed certificate and keep the file on hold until the window opens to upload, then log into their account and upload the certificate . . . That's what I was thinking. I would need their login info. That puts responsibility on ME to keep the STATE's system working. It would be much easier it there was the option to file now OR later, not just shut down the portal.
  7. J Q, I do a LOT of senior citizens that have trouble on the net. I'm seeing 2 day trips for my people, first for the class because they are worried about their licenses expiring and a second for me to upload their cert (when who knows that will be) kinda like the PITA buying a gun.
  8. No I did not I thought I was adding to your comment. Sorry, I'm was quick to include ol' John Q Public, everyone has thin skin these days. Never the less: It pisses me off that a programmer is too lazy to add an option.
  9. Great..... as part of my renewal service I take their picture and scan their certs and upload them to ISP. It makes no sense at all to take that option away. WHY? Can this be fixed? Unless the reason they did that is so they, can kick the can down the road, get caught up on the huge backlog of FOID and first time CCLs. By not processing the renewals, that would free up some resources, but sooner or later the get the balloon payment. It's because it is the easiest way to "deal" with it. Screw due process, some people are having trouble finding renewal classes. Rather than help people like me that has bent over backwards to comply with the COVID-19 rules and keep classes going, just shut the submission portal down. Typical Illinois solution. Molly who in the H**L do you have a phone # to that I can call. As one of the very first instructors approved, the ISP sent me an email asking if I helped my students file because of the original confusion. Since then I have let it be known that I help file as part of my service. Now this crap.

  11. Mom died 19 months ago. Since then she has received notice to renew her FCCL, her license plates, and several offers for new credit cards. However, she is no longer listed as a registered voter.
  12. That's a lawsuit and it could be awhile before it is resolved.. So as it stands now.... No firearms in the homes of day care providers?
  13. Molly, I believe there is something in the works about firearms and day care in the home. DCFS recently banded firearms in the home of day care providers. Is there any word on the status of this ruling?
  14. My FOID expires in October as well. Renewed yesterday. I took the FOID renewal process as the same thing to expect for the FCCL renewal. (one size fits all type of thing) I am assuming the renewal button will go active 3 months prior to FCCL expiration.
  15. "Clear and Present Danger" means a person who: (1) communicates a serious threat of physical violence against a reasonably identifiable victim or poses a clear and imminent risk of serious physical injury to himself, herself, or another person as determined by a physician, clinical psychologist, or qualified examiner; or (2) demonstrates threatening physical or verbal behavior, such as violent, suicidal, or assaultive threats, actions, or other behavior, as determined by a physician, clinical psychologist, qualified examiner, school administrator, or law enforcement official. (FOID Act, Sec. 1.1) Are there any other characteristics I am looking for to report a person other than that they have developmental and intellectual disabilities? Yes, clear and present danger If a person is admitted to a psychiatric unit of a hospital for a mental illness, but they are NOT a clear and present danger to themselves or others, is that a person who would be reported? Yes, the facility would report the admission. Should a Clear and Present Danger be reported if the person admits him or herself? Yes. A Clear and Present Danger should be reported within 24 hours whenever that determination is made. Is an Emergency Petition the same thing as Clear and Present Danger? No. An Emergency Petition is actually a Non-Adjudicated/Voluntary admission. A Clear and Present Danger is a determination made by a physician, clinical psychologist, or qualified examiner. Since the facility and qualified examiner are required to report a Clear and Present Danger, won't there be duplicate reporting? Yes, in several instances, duplicate reporting is likely.source: http://www.dhs.state.il.us/page.aspx?item=38026#a_toc2
  16. I couldn`t agree with you more. We do owe these children more, we need to address WHY they are killing each other, not HOW they are killing each other. Some of us have been trying to point out that if they want to do each other harm they WILL find a way. You are constantly focusing on gun violence. Other countries have much more violence than we do, they just use different methods. Personally I would rather be shot than have my head slowly hacked off with a knife, but as you say, that`s just me.I Agree with you. Nothing We Can Do. I didn`t say we couldn`t do anything to stop kids from hurting kids. Taking a gun away from a law abiding person is not the answer. We had a shooter (revenge for being bullied) at our local high school. The community demanded the school board do something, so they did. They installed $60,000 worth of cameras and servers to record them. They did nothing to further limit access to the building. BUT now they will know who caused the harm, they didn`t take efforts to stop it, just record it. And you propose we give these people more of my tax dollars.

Some of us have been trying to point out that if they want to do each other harm they WILL find a way. You are constantly focusing on a black rifle.

  18. I'm sure those 69 dead Student would love to still have a chance to hear your thoughts on how slow the bullets were that killed them Sir. That`s sick that you think I condone ANY killing. You are missing the point. THINGS don`t kill people PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE. YOU are the one blaming objects, I was simply trying to show it is not the fault of "military weapons", its the sicko behind the trigger or bomb or arson or whatever.
