I've helped lots of folks with their app over the years. Many couldn't remember the exact month they moved, but would say "It was the summer of 17". I would input July. Never had one rejected yet. I think the key is making sure there are no gaps. So, if you said you left one residence in June and moved into the new one in August, where were you in July?

I used this E-mail address at the end of August, got a response acknowledging receipt in 2.5 hours. ISP.Instructor.Docs@illinois.gov

Chatted briefly this morning with my local conservation officer. He was well aware of the change regarding CCW and hunting, confirmed it was legal to carry concealed while hunting. He also wanted to know who said it was illegal to do so. So, according to him, you're legal to carry while hunting with your CCL. Hope this helps.

I just sent a note to my local CO. Will post when he replies.

I am continually amazed by friends/family whom I used to think were somewhat intelligent, but continue to vote "D" every single time, no matter the candidate. It's mind-numbing.

I asked our state rep at the time (Mike Unes) that very question a few years back. He told me, after consulting ISP, you can carry one or one hundred, as long as they are concealed.

FYI, your link to HB 1134 pulls up HB 1135

What a bunch of morons. DONE!!

Done

Will do. Thanks.

I've got a friend I'm helping with her CCL renewal. She's recently divorced and just got her name change done with SOS. Looking at the ISP FAQs, it appears I can't do a name change for her when I do her renewal, gotta do it separate. Are they gonna charge her for the name change separate, and then charge her for the renewal? Seems a bit shady that you can do an address change with a renewal and save $75 but not a name change. Am I missing something? Just trying to save her some $

We've had a couple wyze cameras up for not quite a month. So far, so good.....not the best, but it's certainly better than what we had before, which was nothing at all. Will likely add more.

Ryan Powers, listed as being in Canton, is now in Pekin. Don't know address. One of my CCW students spoke very highly of him.

Thank you bobapunk.

Thanks Molly.

I've been reading this post, some of it I get, some is clear as mud. My partner and I have an approved curriculum. We are teaching NRA BP on day 1, and covering legal and the range qual, drills, etc. on day 2. If we provide students with an NRA BP 8 hour certificate, and an ISP 8 hour certificate, we're good, right? While we are frustrated with the constant changes, we appreciate the info that Molly and others provide. What we don't want is a "gotcha" moment from ISP when we know for a fact we've been teaching everything required and then some. One more question....how are you guys documenting active military?

Just read the decision, and I gotta say, I haven't had that much fun since I read "McDonald", and "Heller" before that. Congratulations to all involved!
