My CCL has been moved to the review board pursuant to 430 ILCS 66/15. The board did not ask for a personal letter, nor was I told of the objection or the objecting party. My record is clear through and through. I applied for my CCL and FOID at the same time. I have the FOID. They have my fingerprints. About 3 of my classmates were moved to board review at the same time as me. Any thoughts?

Hello Everyone, My CCL went from awaiting print to under board review. Does anyone know the turnaround for the board reviews as my 90 day count has stopped? Thank you any help. Time to get out of IL...

So Backstory. My CCL went active today 5/13/19 (Applied Jan 10. 2019, No Prints so 123 days in case anyone is waiting and trying to judge their wait time) I've had my FOID for about 6 years and the one I still have in hand is the older one with the drawing of the state and the light reflective colorful eagle on the bottom right corner. That FOID number doesn't match with the one on the ISP login. It's a new number, and it changed not after I was approved, but after I went Active. It's a significantly longer number and it matches my new CCL number. Does this mean that I can't buy new firearms, ammo, go to a range, or bring a weapon outside my home even if it is cased an unloaded, until the new CCL comes in? (Sure maybe go to a range since they don't seem to check anything online, but say for whatever reason I got involved in a car accident or something similar and the police see firearms and ask for a FOID card) Will they send me a replacement FOID when I get the new CCL and if not can I use the CCL as a FOID, or do I need to replace/renew it myself? I will also be leaving the state to visit Tennessee, with family members who have valid FOID cards, and even if the CCL is also sent with a new FOID, I will probably not be home at the time of delivery. I know Illinois is one of the only states to have FOIDs or something similar, but do other states expect you to bring yours from your home state if you're visiting? I know Tennessee honors Illinois CCL permits, but does anyone know if Tennessee CCL holders must have the license present on their person while carrying? I'm wondering that in the event that Tennessee CCL holders need not carry their permit on them while carrying a firearm, would they extent that same rule to Illinois CCL holders visiting the state?

Hey guys, do we have to renew an expiring FOID card if we already have a valid CCL which doesn't expire for years?

Recently I discovered my foid card lost but still have my ccl. I panicked and went online to try to report it lost but then I stopped entering information and went to look for it and forgot i was logged in then came back and it logged me out and when i tried re-logging back in it said under foid incomplete and no longer it said actice.but my ccl still shows active. Why is this? And by the way no luck finding my foid card. What should i do? Can i carry without a foid? Will i have to pay for a ccl replacement because of my foid being lost? Help plz
