I heard a rumor that ISP rejected a CCL Renewal Form if it was uploaded sideways and not horizontal?

The rule is, "once a rifle, always a rifle." If your SBR was originally manufactured as a pistol, you can change it back to a Title I pistol. Shouldn't be a problem with the NFA Branch...

I'm sure no one here has a problem with that. The guy I got my security license from in Mt. Greenwood qualified me for both. I am a h@ll of a lot better shooter now than I was back then. The sad part is that if IL made an exemption, I bet most of us would qualify under local police standards, state police standards, and I would bet many of us could pass the FBI standards. That's if each standard are different. $hit, the FBI couldn't get half their agents to pass their qualifier with a .40cal after 9/11. Thank goodness for them 9mm came back with better ballistics and always capacity...

Retired law enforcement are exempt. I did 2yrs of armed security, I retired. Can I be exempt as a retired armed security guard ??????

If that's the case, why did we go head 1st with a sub-par lawyer/sub-par strategy. Disappointing to say the least...

🤣

100%. I'm just worried SCOTUS might punt on our case and many others for quite some time. They are getting alot of political heat. All the while our rights are infringed the whole time...

Read that, but because I saw Maag's case go straight to federal court the minute he raised a 2nd Amendment Claim in state court, I thought IL SCOTUS was baiting Caulkins to bring up the 2nd Amendment so they could kick it straight to federal court. I was thinking it was more of a chess match on why he didn't bring up the 2nd Amendment. Plus, on a side not, I think Caulkins was also angry about how the process goes on in Springfield and wanted to end this process through the back door. I honestly have no clue, just speculating...

Question, if Caulkins would have brought 2A front & center, would the case have been immediately sent to federal court? Like Thomas Maag's case...

Absolutely. As long as you're successful in getting your FOID Card restored.

Grew up in Chicago for 39 out of 44yrs, all the guys I played baseball with are either cops or fireman. Every one of them talk $h!t about how this guy got to the academy because of his father, uncle, alderman, etc. or how he moved up in the department for not knowing $h!t. In Chicago, you know alderman can recommend you to become detective, sergeant, etc. Let's just say that alderman, use those recommendations quite often. My very good friend, who is a Chicago fireman, could tell you endless stories on how fireman help their kids move up the ladder. The CFD lottery was a joke years ago, now its more HONEST, if that makes sense in Chicago. So, all they have to do is make it through the lottery. You want to know what's funny, Chicago is required to give the fireman's test to prominent pastors to guarantee it's not bias. Funny, how the applicant fireman who attend or know these prominent pastors always score about 100% on their test 😂. My buddy says they don't even try to hide it... As far as corruption on the contractor level, I agree 100%. What do you expect, this is Chicago and the State of IL. Al Capone taught them how to do it and everyone else is perfecting it...

I don't know enough ISP, CPD, county sheriff's, or other IL-LE to determine whether they would enforce this law on principle or not. BUT, when push comes to shove, I am betting more than 90% will make that arrest if their jobs were put on the line. And that's being conservative! Remember, most of these guys/gals owe their job to someone politically connected and most of these IL-LEs don't give 2 $h!ts about the 2nd Amendment. They won't lose any sleep arresting you or me...

So, I am a little confused. I'm coming up for renewal in 01/2024 and I did get an email and a text that my IL-CCL is 180 days out. It will be 10yrs when I got my IL-CCL in 03/2014. Last renewal, all I had to do was upload my 3hr certificate. Is that the same process or are they looking for the original cert now? Doesn't ISP have the original cert as part of our file? That's going to suck looking for that cert...

There could be, but that is an easy charge for the feds, dealing in firearms without a license. Remember, former Pres. Obama gave a speech that they charged a guy for selling 1 firearm without a license. Don't know how that case came to be, but he bought the firearm and sold it and made a profit. That's how they got him.

Yup...

I was scrolling through a list of distributor available firearms and GunBroker about a half hour ago. Man, I'm PI$$ED !!! Never realized as Americans, the opposing political parties do not disagree because they love and want what's good for America, they truly HATE US !!! They hate everything 2A stands for: our way of life, our family, our house, job, cars, etc. Its ok to disagree, but to HATE thy neighbor, gun control truly wins. I got into a "discussion" about Progressive Liberal Judges who started out their law career as 'civil rights" attorneys. I mentioned how could you be a civil rights attorney and not support or defend one 2A client. Not a gangster who got caught with a pistol, but a 2A case. This lady blew up! She messaged me for 6 f'en days. Just didn't want to admit that she knew nothing about firearms even though she hated guns. Being "civil" with these anti-gun Progressives is pretty much impossible. V-E-N-T is over 🤣

I envy you. Hopefully in 2yrs, I will be next...

It's unfortunate to say that even by posing a rational argument, one that SCOTUS will accept, will still force it to go to SCOTUS. The rest of the Courts in the state and federal level know the same thing, as you stated above, if they rule against it they will doom it. The majority of the IL Court System, whether state or federal, will look at a finding that will appease the political powers that be. It is really difficult, during this time in America, to trust the Criminal Justice System to do what it was intended to do. I will fight, but I have lost faith...

I don't think we would fare much better unless we make it to SCOTUS. Look at the PICA case, after NYSRPA, it should be a slam dunk on the 2A side.

I can't believe we waited until 2day for this 💯 completely biased judicial activism. The state is probably drinking champagne 🍾 right now.

I'm a 01 w/CL III SOT, in a gun friendly state I could get some Law-Letter MGs. 🔫😎
