mitchrc05 Posted November 17, 2014 at 09:51 PM Share Posted November 17, 2014 at 09:51 PM What a joke. I called in and apparently I wasn't even in the "main" system. They had to look me up in the alternate system and they said my application is in "processing" status. I asked if my background check had been completed and this lady was clueless.

mitchrc05 Posted November 17, 2014 at 11:48 PM Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 at 11:48 PM Quick q: Does any law prevent me from filing suit against the ISP for not following their own protocol? I mean, seriously, I can get an auto-generated background check on anyone in the world within a matter of seconds yet it takes nearly 2 months to get my FOID? It blows my mind that in this day and age the ISP can't hire a couple of developers for the whole damn system. I should be able to apply online and find out if I'm eligible within a matter of seconds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmphOne Posted November 18, 2014 at 12:28 AM Share Posted November 18, 2014 at 12:28 AM Have patience. It's a process. That's a fair and normal amount of time. Why would you want to file a suit against the organization that you're asking to HELP you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchrc05 Posted November 18, 2014 at 12:34 AM Author Share Posted November 18, 2014 at 12:34 AM I probably would never file suit. I wouldn't be able to afford it anyway, unless I could find a lawyer to do it pro bono. I just love to think hypothetically. ...but why would I file suit? I don't have the time to list off my reasoning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that's a damn good way to stunt innovation. Think about what the world would be like if people still did banking manually. Would you go back to the old way just for the fact more bankers were employed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kster Posted November 18, 2014 at 01:03 AM Share Posted November 18, 2014 at 01:03 AM (edited) but banking is an organization intended to maximize profit and minimize cost. state agencies are organization that's non profit and run by people nominated to who make the constituents "feel good" Edited November 18, 2014 at 01:03 AM by kster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchrc05 Posted November 18, 2014 at 03:18 AM Author Share Posted November 18, 2014 at 03:18 AM You would think after all the big delays last year they would be properly staffed by now. I had a friend who applied in April and got his in 2 1/2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
