Blythes Posted March 2, 2014 at 01:01 PM Posted March 2, 2014 at 01:01 PM Congrats to everyone who received their license yesterday. Please carry and go about your business, legally now, on a normal Sunday in IL...just like the other 49 states.
Tvandermyde Posted March 2, 2014 at 01:47 PM Posted March 2, 2014 at 01:47 PM just take it easy Todd, did you get your CCL today? Just wondering. You should be among the first.No. Just started applying yesterday. some time ago I became a part time LE. So I didn't need to rush in. and have been fighting with ISP about their interpretation on the rules for LEs and such. I've tried to use the experience to help make things better, mostly concealed and such. there are far more other people that needed it and I am very happy that they got to apply, and are now getting their licenses. I'll get mine in a bit and we'll see how the process goes for me. So I can keep tabs on ISP. But thanks for the thought.
Plinkermostly Posted March 2, 2014 at 02:11 PM Posted March 2, 2014 at 02:11 PM Todd -- you sending prints?
Yas Posted March 2, 2014 at 02:26 PM Posted March 2, 2014 at 02:26 PM Well a day has passed since some members have gotten their CCL cards and to the dismay of the brady bunch and some other orginizations the Wild West has NOT erupted. Congratulations
sauerjf Posted March 2, 2014 at 02:37 PM Posted March 2, 2014 at 02:37 PM I receive my CCL yesterday-my app was #300-submitted Dec 18.
Tvandermyde Posted March 2, 2014 at 03:52 PM Posted March 2, 2014 at 03:52 PM Todd -- you sending prints? yes
cola490 Posted March 2, 2014 at 03:57 PM Posted March 2, 2014 at 03:57 PM Todd -- you sending prints? yesWhat do you say to the folks that paid for prints about the non-printers getting their CCL before them?
Tango7 Posted March 2, 2014 at 03:59 PM Posted March 2, 2014 at 03:59 PM Well, yesterday was 30 days, and I'm still "under review". Maybe I'll be part of the "45 day turnaround" the ISP is hoping for.
Nanook Posted March 2, 2014 at 03:59 PM Posted March 2, 2014 at 03:59 PM Congratulations to all who have received their license. I was beginning to think I'd never see this day.

Loctite/paint pen/regularly check your gear. A gun falling off your belt is unacceptable
Highwayman Posted March 2, 2014 at 04:30 PM Posted March 2, 2014 at 04:30 PM Based on the couple people have been approved who applied on January 5th, the shortest approval time we've seen thus far is 54 days. However, that may be trimmed down tomorrow as they spent the first day working on the backlog which was spread throughout December. I'm right at the 40 day mark and am going to set my conservative guess at another two weeks, but I'm very optimistic things will pick up this week as they get into a working rhythm.
Hoffsoft Posted March 2, 2014 at 04:42 PM Posted March 2, 2014 at 04:42 PM The last time I sent my FOID renewal from the Aurora area to Springfield, I sent it Priority with tracking (2 day service). It actually took 3 days, going from Chicago to St. Louis to Springfield. Hopefully that was an abberation, I would think it would only take two days....
HK Smitty Posted March 2, 2014 at 04:55 PM Posted March 2, 2014 at 04:55 PM Congratulations to all of those who have received their CCL. Has anyone from Chicago received their CCL yet.
il.bill Posted March 2, 2014 at 05:20 PM Posted March 2, 2014 at 05:20 PM Congratulations, sir! The smile in that picture on your permit says it all.

Any objections, PnC?
Dr. Rat Posted March 2, 2014 at 07:11 PM Posted March 2, 2014 at 07:11 PM I just heard that due to sitting in the cold, the USPS is finding PILES of undeliverable CCLs that had slipped out of their envelopes in the bottom of their trucks...
spec5 Posted March 2, 2014 at 08:30 PM Posted March 2, 2014 at 08:30 PM This thread should have lots more posts tomorrow and Tuesday and for months to come.
Pete S Posted March 2, 2014 at 09:04 PM Posted March 2, 2014 at 09:04 PM I agree!It's a great face that represents the joy here lately.It's also non-threatening so the antis won't be as panicked. It's a good face. I like it. I like Paints-N-Cows http://www.tomatobubble.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/clarence.jpg
Mr. Fife Posted March 2, 2014 at 09:16 PM Posted March 2, 2014 at 09:16 PM I asked Clarence to talk to Santa about his Santa tracking technology and using it to track my FCCL. Good news! It's on the way!
Scots Posted March 2, 2014 at 09:19 PM Posted March 2, 2014 at 09:19 PM Todd -- you sending prints? yesWhat do you say to the folks that paid for prints about the non-printers getting their CCL before them? People sending prints are processed in up to 90 days. People without prints are processed in up to 120 days. Nothing there says that a person sending prints will necessarily get processed sooner. A non-print person could be processed in 2 days and a print person in 90, and the rules would be adhered to.
