hmmm my number is wrong then. My number is 3 days later than it should be. Mine is also 3 days later... Yeah, I forgot a step.

Thats close Its created using the first letter of your last name..... the soundex code of your last name..... first initial code + last initial code..... year.. and a formula consisting of the calendar day and gender of your birth For men, the last 5 digits of an IL driver’s license are the year of your birth and the Julian date of your birthday (001= Jan 1, 365 = Dec 31).

Just checked. My Real ID driver’s license has the same number I’ve always had, but they did add my full middle name. My FOID and CCL have middle initial. I guess I’ll have to update that on next renewal.

If it worked properly, this wouldn’t be Illinois.

Dummy. It’s AFT. Biden said today- twice.

The 5th amendment applies to "property". "nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation." Bump stock ban snuck by because it hasn’t been sufficiently challenged. If Biden, with (law) or without Congress (EO), outright bans guns and orders confiscation, you can bet your life it will end up in front of the SCOTUS, if it doesn’t already get overturned by a lower court.

How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. Liberals get this, but Conservatives (politicians) believe that placating small demands will satisfy them. It doesn’t.

At this point he's calling for a ban in general without referring to a specific bill. He's spoken of a ban that would not grandfather currently owned firearms and I'm sure he'd push for that if he can get it, but we'll have to wait and see. Banning future purchases or transfers is within the powers of a new law (NOT an EO). Confiscation would be in direct conflict with the 5th Amendment and would be an Ex Post Facto law, AKA unconstitutional. Even Bill Clinton didn’t try to go there. The true legacy of the Trump administration will be his SCOTUS appointments and their adhering to the Constitution.

I don't have an issue with $20/$25. It's the $40/$50 that I am not thrilled with. I am not to thrilled with the 2 to 3 grand a year to keep my FFL ether. You will damn lucky if the fee is less than 50 bucks. Where are you located? I need a new FFL. My guy wouldn’t put up with the state BS.

So naturally, the thing to do in that situation is penalize everyone.It is far less intrusive to punish actual criminals than to create them through regulations.If what the legislators really wanted was just to grant the ISP (a state agency) the authority to audit an FFL's transfer records (instead of requiring assistance from the ATF, a federal agency) if it suspected criminal activity, they could have written the licensing law that way, but they didn't.It has nothing to do with crime prevention. They dont want civilians to have guns. This was a way to make it harder for us to get them and an incremental step in their ultimate quest to ban and confiscate guns. FFL licensing wasnt the goal, it was a single action item on a long list for them.

It's EXACTLY who they were trying to target. They know criminals don't buy guns through an FFL, so the law was never intended to stop any crime. They're purposely making it harder for law abiding citizens to get guns. End around gun control. It's an incremental step.

This only shows the antis how they’re winning. Let them figure it out themselves.

$But what about the children?$

Here's how stupid it gets. I am a new resident of Tennessee. Sent my FOID and CCL into the ISP office. Sayonara. But if I come to ILLannoy, and go to a store to buy ammo, I can, and don't need (or have) a FOID. So I have more of a right to buy ammo in IL than an Illinois resident, who needs a FOID. Now THAT'S stupid! Good luck finding a store that will sell ammo to an out of state resident. They’re too scared.

If it’s stupid, it’s Illinois law.
