  1. Speed is a NO TIME thing in todays environment.

    No one has time to get ready earlier than they do, and if you happen to be driving in the same area each day, you'll see the same person blazing past at the same time day after day!

    Getting ready 10 minutes earlier would be a no brained for most of us, but not for enough to be safe on the roads.

    I also like the 5 or 10 over crowd.

    Yes I know you have never been stopped while driving this fast etc.

    I get it, but it's a pull over event if said officer wants. Uncles is a chief here in north west 'burbs and i live across the street from the chief here in good old Shorewood!

    Saying it's ok to do such and you've never been caught is just like the guys who rob 7-11's

    They haven't been caught and they like it because its so easy. But when they do get caught they will be crying like little B#$%ˆ&*.

    As for the threat to the ISP, why threaten them, get a media outlet as there are many looking for a story around.

    And tell the story to them, have all your documents ready, don't stretch the truth, and have them pub it.

    That way you didn't twist/blackmail anyone just told the truth.

    Think they would take a closer look at this then? ABSOLUTELY NOT

    Doesn't make it right, but until everyone chooses to drive the speed limit (never), it's actually safer to just go with the flow of traffic.

     

    The two 4 lane highway options I can take between Illinois and St Louis are both 55mph zones. Morning traffic runs between 65-70mph.

     

    Once on the interstate outer loop in St Louis (60mph), traffic flows between 70-75mph.

     

    The people getting pulled over are the ones doing 80mph and above, weaving in and out of the flow, not using their signals, etc.

  2. Well, it's been five years and a couple of months now, and we seemingly have made very little to no headway on getting any of the GFZ's in the original law written out.

    I've been through three background checks, I have a photo ID permit ISSUED BY THE STATE OF ILLINOIS to protect myself and those around me WITH DEADLY FORCE in case of threat of bodily harm, BUT YET I CANT ATTEND A FUNCTION CARRYING IN A SCHOOL TO PROTECT MY GRANDCHILDREN.

    Rant over,,,,,,,

    Schools are unlikely to ever be removed from the prohibited list.
  3. My renewal was submitted 3/8 for an expiration of 5/1 (today). Application still says Under Review.Above in this thread says 60 BUSINESS days. Isn't it calendar days?
    No. Business days.

     

    ( b ) Renewal applications shall be approved or denied within 60 business days, provided the applicant submitted his or her renewal application prior to the expiration of his or her Firearm Owner's Identification Card.
  4. The reason I don't believe this story is because so many people have posted right here at Illinoiscarry.com that they've never been able to talk to a live person when they've called the Illinois State Police Firearms Services Bureau.

     

    i don't doubt Jag-Bag Pritzker would tell the ISP to slow-walk everything and never send anything out before the due date. I just find it hard to believe that there are enough people in the bureau for anyone to answer the phone.

    What amazes me is the number of people on this forum who obviously don't keep up with the FOID Act and the FCCA.

    My buddy who died last year had a Utah Concealed Carry permit from 40 years ago that Illinois recognized 40 years before they got the law to carry and my friend carried in Illinois for 40 years. He got the Utah permit through the mail.

     

    Before the FCCA (July 2013), concealed carry has been banned in Illinois since the 40s.

    If your friend was carrying in Illinois on a Utah permit, he was doing so illegally.

     

     

     

    And your point is? My friend is dead. Molly B. went to the funeral. Him and Otis were good friends.

     

    You are wrong!

    Doesn't really matter who his friends were. The only way I know of that he could've carried in IL is if he were former/retired LEO, in which case the Utah permit wouldn't matter.

     

    Unless you can cite the IL law that allowed him to carry on a Utah permit, I stand by my previous statement.

  7. Constitutional protected rights don't end at your doorway threshold, so if even if the wording of a final ruling is narrow it should be easy to expand upon. And even in the interm a ruling that no FOID is needed to own/possses guns in your residence is a HUGE step forward in this state.
    Yes, but until the FOID is gone completely, it's still a roadblock.

     

    So I don't need a FOID to have a gun at home, but without a FOID, I still can't go out and buy one, legally transport it to/from a range to practice, etc.

  8. If my FOID is revoked, then my 2nd amendment right is revoked too but only in Illinois so it would be illegal for me to take custody of my guns. Yet I need to find out if a nonresident doesn't need to FOID to get a gun in Illinois, where does that leave me?

    It is perfectly legal for a nonresident to buy a gun here without a FOID card... happens at gun shows all the time.

     

     

    Actually my friend already has them. We transfered them to her back in February. But she's a nervous old lady who's worried about getting into trouble. Her concern is: if it's not legal for me to have a gun in illinois, then she won't give them back to me since her FOID number is on the transfer form.

    There is no requirement for her FOID number to be documented anywhere, nor is it a requirement that private transfers use the form provided by the ISP.

     

    IIRC, all interstate transfers need to go through an FFL, and handguns must be received in the purchaser's state. All she needs to do is take your guns to an FFL in Illinois who then transfers them to an FFL in your state where you take possession of them.

     

    Or, if all you have is long guns, you can do the transfer face to face at an FFL in Illinois.

     

    Nothing about Illinois' FOID law applies to you anymore, that's all she needs to know.

    This may sound ignorant, and I apologize in advance. But what are the advantages of getting a FOID for a person under the age of 18? They cannot purchase a gun or amo. They can’t shoot at a range by them selfs. Again. Sorry for the ignorance, just curios. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

     

     

     

    In addition to the points mentioned by InterestedBystander, the FOID is a state issued ID that is good for 10 years. The cost is $10. A state issued ID from the DMV is $10 but only lasts for 5 years.

    It also gives them a head start on what's involved in being a responsible, (Illinois) law-abiding gun owner.
