Welcome to the club.I also did an appeal in 2017.All I received was a bill for $1000.00 for my "professional" evaluation.It is said to take 6 months to a year. "REALLY ?" Say hello to Jabba for me. Alias "TUB O GUTS

Just curious.What do you honestly.And I say again "Honestly" feel the chances are.Considering first.The current administration in Illinois,and second.The current atmosphere in some states regarding firearms.We all know that the 100,000 some gangbangers in chicago arent going to turn in there guns.They are the problem,but we pay the price.Where is the logic ? there is none.its just politics.Whats acceptable ? 1 year.2 years 10 years.There are laws.The state breaks the law for whatever reason & its accepted,round and round we go.

Welcome to the world of appeals.Like I said.I did all my research before I attempted an appeal.Went to top people in the state & spent almost a full day getting my evaluation.Whats the answer ? I dont know.Illinois and I believe Hawaii are the only two states that do this when you seek help on your own.Think of the people who really need help in Illinois.Who do not seek it.For fear of getting their foid pulled.Its criminal.When I moved.I went to our local state police district & explained my issues.No foid was needed.They ran my info for me & I came up clean.A month later I had my conceal carry permit.I waited two years after sending in my appeal to get some movement from isp.

Katy : Dont feel defeated.Your just getting info.From people like me.You have to find someone who can really help you.Before you take the plunge ! Get all the necessary forms and do your research.Just dont expect miracles.Maybe someone you know has a connection.Illinois is and has been forever,about connections.Ive met people in Illinois who had no business with a foid,but they had a connection.Like I said.I left Illinois for various reasons,but I did work there and make a good living for almost 50 years.Again,Good Luck......Know your enemy

Katy : I know there are many (most) people on this forum that I am over the top negative on this issue.I believe in telling it like it is.No pie in the sky.You can check out my posts.I went through a similar situation.Went on my own to a hospital for four days in 2013.My card was pulled 3 days after I got home.Ive tried everything & researched this issue since June 2018 when I applied for FOID.Spent $1000.00 on professional evaluation.It went on & on.I have been told by those on the forum that people have recived their foid after the 5 year time was up.No one has come forward to say this.Someone just says "I assure you this is true".If you are some way "Connected" you may make it work.There are many in Illinois who will take your money and tell you. "90 days you will have your foid" Think serious if you really want to put yourself through this.This issue,plus the skyrocketing taxes,crime & other issues.Drove me out of Illinois.After spending a lifetime there.It is corrupt beyond belief.Good luck on whatever you decide

Rule of thumb in Illinois.If your issues happened 30 years ago.It will most likely take 30 years to get your foid.Maybe ! Good Luck !

Whats that sound in the distance ? Thats someone playing "Taps" for the people of Illinois FOID CARD,FOID CARD ? WE DON'T NEED NO STINKING FOID CARD

In Springfield.It's like Sonny said.In a Bronx tail "Nobody Cares" Sonny was right !

Can you say Conspiracy ! Welcome to Illinois.To which they reply "YEA" so what are ya gonna do about it.

Appeal recived & confirmed by ISP. 4 days in hospital in 2013 for depression(went on my own) .496 days today since appeal recived Good Luck.The ISP seems to have two speeds.Slow & Stop

Top this ! FOID appeal.paperwork recived & confirmed by ISP.No movement.nada,zip zero.487 days as of today.

Whats the old saying ? "Your checks in the mail !"

30 days was a print error.It actually is suppose to say "30 years".Maybe ! If your good and eat all your vegetables.And bow to direction of Springfield.Each day at sunrise.

The reality of the situation in Illinois is.They are pulling out all the stops to get foid cards.Lets be realistic folks.When it's gone,it's gone.There is no pie in the sky.You can do or spend whatever you want,but your foid is gone.Unless you have a really good contact in Springfield.Say JB ?

Those of us living in "Free" pro 2nd amendment states will welcome those of you who wish to move here from anti 2nd amendment states. Just leave your politics where they are.I am under the impression that Washington is not exactly a pro 2nd state.Illinois on the other hand is now been declared a full socalist poice state.Good luck with the foid.Stay in touch with this site for the latest daily changes in the gun laws.If you have any problems call Mr Pritzker for full details.
