Thank you. That's how I interpreted it too. Typical for IL. politicians to self-perpetuate their 'gun' violence problem.

If someone goes to see a therapist for stress, anxiety or anger, does that put their FOID or CCL in jeopardy for revocation? Or is that more for being admitted into a mental health institution?

It topped 50K witness slips & they're trying to say it was bots.

Doesn't directly answer your question, but I found this on the CDC website. Here's a link to the rest of the page too. Firearm Violence Prevention |Violence Prevention|Injury Center|CDC, Last couple paragraphs seem a little agenda heavy if you ask me. Although definitions of defensive gun use vary, it is generally defined as the use of a firearm to protect and defend one’s self, family, others, and/or property against crime or victimization. Estimates of defensive gun use vary depending on the questions asked, populations studied, timeframe, and other factors related to the design of studies. The report Priorities for Research to Reduce the Threat of Firearm-Related Violenceexternal icon indicates a range of 60,000 to 2.5 million defensive gun uses each year.

Thanks for the reference point. The Mrs. & I applied July 1st, I won't be anxious until Thanksgiving after it took me 7 months for my FOID.

Can't wait to see what renewal will look like in 10 yrs why my FOID expires...

I would love to see those stats. Probably buried on the dark web.

Anyone know the average wait time these days? Had a buddy apply in October & received his by January. Plus things seem to be picking up lately.

Alright, I need your help today. I'm trying to keep the wife from spending half the day prepping for her CCL photo. Do they still use your DL photo on on your CCL license?

Assuming Hurley had stopped the threat, why was he walking around with the Troyke's AR?

I was wondering about that too. It just says digital copy/upload.

I have a scanner. It's come in handy too many times in the past to not have one.

I'm taking a CCL class this weekend & I'm curious to know, is the online application similar to the FOID application minus submitting the certificate? I've heard of people having a local gun store submitting for them but I'd rather apply myself if it's not too complicated.

Pester the sh*t out of them. I would call roughly once a month or whenever I felt especially ornery. Towards the end of my wait I was calling about every other week. I find it best to call as close to when the open at 8:30 am as possible.

Looks like it passed the vote & the speaker held it open until they got to 60 votes...
