Foid Renewal Wait Time
ilphil replied to lbmybox's topic in Illinois FOID Application, Renewal & Appeal Process
Submitted renewal 11/3/21. ISP portal says out for printing in January. Still no sign of new FOID. Sent inquiry thru the portal, no response. Sent email to my supposedly very pro 2A state rep's office, got canned response basically saying not to bother them until at least 6 months from renewal submission. My daughter submitted her renewal a week after I did and had her new card in hand in less than 2 weeks. This is beyond frustrating. -
Proud to see that my senator and rep both got a solid F from these fools.

Foid Renewal Wait Time

Still waiting, but my daughter submitted her renewal over a week after I did and her new card was in the mail Saturday. This system makes zero sense.😡 -

Submitted renewal on 11/2/2021. According to ISP website new FOID issued 11/9. Still no sign of it in my mailbox. With the current state of the USPS, not going to worry for a while yet. -
Chicago May Start Suing Gang Members for Damages
ilphil replied to mauserme's topic in Illinois Politics
One of the dumbest ideas to come out of Chicago in a long time. And that's a pretty high bar. -
My ISRA membership was supposed to auto-renew on May 31st. It didn't happen. Saved me some $$. They won't see a dime from me until there is a leadership change. I don't have money to waste on groups that screw us over.

Illinois Concealed Carry Wait Time 2021
ilphil replied to Mr. Fife's topic in Illinois Concealed Carry Licensing Process
That's about how long it took to renew my Utah permit last fall. Amazing how these states can handle a renewal in a fraction of the time and at a fraction of the cost that it takes here in the People's Republic of Illinois...and if you have a question you can get a real person on the phone in minutes, -

Wow...we just drove past Ocala about 45 minutes ago. And for the record, my daughter and I were both carrying. -
My license was in my mail today!
ilphil replied to Paints-n-cows's topic in Illinois Concealed Carry Licensing Process
Haven't carried at Walmart yet, but did at Bass Pro in Gurnee while helping my daughter try to decide on a carry gun. Definitely felt strange at first but after an hour or so I almost forgot it was there. -

Moore/Shepard Ruling Announced
ilphil replied to Molly B.'s topic in Judicial Second Amendment Case Discussion
Maybe I am too giddy with joy to think straight, but why are we even talking about 148 at this point? That was a "best we can hope for at this time" bill, but as of today the game has changed immensely. We are no longer required to go hat in hand to every influential group trading away bits of our rights for their support. Forget ridiculous training requirements, forget no campus carry, forget hgh license fees, forget no reciprocity, forget duty to inform. An impasse works to our advantage, why should we negotiate now that WE finally have the upper hand? Look at the Wisconsin carry law...it accepted a hunter's safety class as sufficient training, it accepted another state's carry license as sufficient training. Haven't heard any reports of blood flowing in the streets due to stupid accidents caused by not having 40 hrs of training. Let's dictate some damn tough terms to Madigan & Co and see how they enjoy being on that end of the shaft for once.
