The state can’t give “legal advice” yet isn’t that exactly what they do in their FAQs?

You don’t automatically “become a felon” and certainly will not on December 31st. You must first be arrested, charged, prosecuted, tried and found guilty.

Wait, it might be worse than that! Since you aren’t required to possess a FOID to own banned items and you aren’t required to possess a FOID to “disclose” shouldn’t those percentages be based upon total population???

HERE! HERE! Mauser, Sir, your efforts are most assuredly appreciated. Your hard work certainly makes it much easier for us to keep track of the absurd political gymnastics that are routine in Illinois. Yes, there are others involved as well (and appreciated as well) but you stand at the forefront of this and should know that we do appreciate the effort! THANKS!

What am I missing here? The ACT clearly states that the affidavit must be “executed electronically through the individual’s Firearms Owner’s Identification Card account.” and the ACT clearly states that the affidavit must have “the affiants Firearms Owner’s Identification Card number” JCAR cannot write legislation, ISP cannot write legislation yet we are now being told ”You do not need a FOID card to register”. Are they simply writing rules that violate the act?

Perhaps that’s a good question to ask at the next session: How are folks that don’t have a FOID but own banned items that don’t (and never did) require a FOID supposed to obtain affidavits??

Reasonable? You mean like carrying when you go into certain areas of Chicago?

^^^^ THIS It’ll be interesting to see how this one develops….

He could always claim that all of those who did not register have obviously moved their firearms out of state (else they WOULD have registered) therefore compliance with the law is 100%….

Extreme Exigency in Benton has renewal classes monthly - looks like next scheduled is Oct 19 from 6-9 PM. http://www.extremeexigency.com/services.html

Likely because they are more concerned with being able to add a can to a pistol than the flash suppressor? 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

The antis: ”But, but, but it’s a REPUBLICAN led board….”

Never attribute to deliberate actions or intent that which is easily explained by ignorance or stupidity. Methinks you are reading way more intent into this than is actually there. This law was drafted by those completely ignorant of the subject matter and it clearly shows.

If you are looking for self defense or house defense then a lever action .410 is another possibility with a variety of options — rifled slugs, Hornady Critical Defense rounds, buckshot, rubber buckshot or shot shells. If you want a smaller package then there’s the Henry Axe or Mossberg Shockwave both of which are light recoil short weapons well suited for house defense.

So basically they are forcing you to perjure yourself in order to comply with the mandates of the law….
