Colt guy

Frank, you should have gotten you “rap” sheet before you applied so you knew where you stood and to be certain whether you actually had felonies. You may not have needed to check the felon box.

They'd never go for that, makes too much sense. You are correct it does make sense, it is also the first time I ever agreed with soundguy. Worlds are colliding! Jim. Until the FOID is voided this is a good idea. As it is now Kelly is just using a big bad number to make people think they need more money and its a dire situation. With all the folks blowing out of this state or aging out and letting their cards expire there should clearly be distinctions to keep these idiots honest. Whats that special word they all use now....TRANSPARENCY

Kelly said that Ptitzker has stabilized the funds so they wont be swept anymore. But they will need more thru the 1966 bill to help other agencies train and carry out revocations. So now the funds will not be sweptt but the need much more money to do the job correctly and help other agencies. i may be mistaken but my taxes fund other agencies already. All this guy was doing is being a politician. No more no less. There were many great questions probing this guy and asking why law abiding citizens have to foot the bill . Seems like most of the folks there were not happy.

Yes get your record clear and 90 days after do the background check just to make sure it is actually cleared before you apply. Beats waiting years for an appeal.good luck.

People are hammering them on this page ! ^^^^^^^

No. I’m at 35 calendar days. Nothing. Well, my app moved to “QC Verified” status yesterday...The law does not say 30 business days it says calendar days. I called ISP yesterday and the lady I spoke to was apologetic and told me they would be working on it... You actually spoke to the only person working there apparently. They just dont have the money for staff or process i provements. /s

I also went thru supervision in 1974. It never affected my FOID but it was definitely still on my record and still is. Cook County couldnt find it for me to expunge before I applied for my CCL and it is so old it didnt affect my CCL either. But may I suggest to the OP right now is that you get that expunged if it as expungeable offense. Get it out of there now if you have any intentions of getting your CCL.

She said they have a Youtube channel,too ! May want to check there

I am watching a Facebook Live video right now of the same female trooper. This is a new one. A lot of people were bagging on the ISP videos but I have to give them kudos for this. Its a good way to get more people to apply. I really like it.

Yes saw it and played the video. 2 of them actually. Kind of shocking to see ISP advertising and showing people how to do it.

Hate to be a pessimist but I cant see walking into a gun store and attempting to buy ammo or a firearm or even handle a firearm with a FOID that has an expired date on it will get you anything but the door.

No doubt

Kind of like being stopped at a light and when it goes green you come out of the hole and bang second....not realizing a police officer is behind you ? Never did that but asking for a friend.

Yes !!!!! Mine is going to be here any minute ! Great day for sure !

I believe it was domestic assault ARREST only and yes.....just because. There were 4 cases up on the Expungement docket. All were objected to by SA. We also had the letter from ISP stating no objection to expungement.
