PPK Posted March 18, 2019 at 05:04 PM Share Posted March 18, 2019 at 05:04 PM I just want to be clear and triple-check this: as long as we renew before exipiration.....and as long as our status is "active", our card is still good beyond expiration date, yes?I think it's as long as we renew before the expiration date and as long as our status isn't "denied", our card is still good beyond the expiration date. If you renew a week before the expiration dated, your status will probably be "under review" and you'll still be legal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renewal times seem to be taking longer right now... mine took only 16 days in the middle of November. IMO, it seems wise to renew at the earliest possible date to eliminate aggravation and uncertainty. I'm in the minority. Your CCL costs only 8.4 cents a day. While the current renewal dating scheme seems unjust... it's only 8.4 cents a day you might "lose" if your renewal is approved quickly. Penny wise - pound foolish.

My CCL expired Feb 28. I applied on Feb 8 and have been QC verified. Been carrying legally for free for over two weeks and have 0 concern. If you enjoy being screwed even MORE by the state of Illinois, I’m happy for you. I choose to stick to my principles and take advantage of their stupidity. 5 years should mean 5 years. If they choose to give newer shorter dates on early renewals, I’ll always renew later to stick it to this state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackinelgin Posted March 19, 2019 at 12:43 AM Share Posted March 19, 2019 at 12:43 AM Mine expires 5/14. Applied for renewal 1/27.No prints. By the looks of some of these times,I might not be that far off my expiration date ...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pound foolish part will never come to fruition unless you encounter some legal trouble with a carry license that "appears" to be expired. This would be more likely if you were carrying out of state. And perhaps it will never happen to anyone... as a class, I think we rarely get pulled over and checked. I agree with you about the 5 years. It should be corrected by the legislature ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odds diminish of it ever happening as I get older. I’m driving to Michigan next week. My AZ CWP isn’t recognized there and MI is a “must inform” state. So if I get pulled over, I have my expired IL CCL, a print out of the law and a screenshot showing I’ve renewed online, in my car. We’ll see. But again, not worried. Even if I’m inconvenienced, I’ll still be legal and get it worked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

regular guy Posted March 20, 2019 at 02:22 PM Share Posted March 20, 2019 at 02:22 PM Will try to make this short. Talked to a director at State Police, who said she would pass on the message to the Firearm Service Bureau. She seemed concerned that the CCL was over 90 days. She also told me they have 60 days on the FOID renewal. Four hours later I received a call from the Asst. Director of the firearms service bureau who explained that because I applied for my FOID renewal halfway through the CCL renewal the FOID has to be approved first because they cannot approve CCL without the FOID. So by trying to be efficient and applying for FOID I accidentally screwed myself. They still have 30 more days to put it through. My CCL expires in two weeks. Oh by the way, I applied 12-15-18 so holidays don't count as days. Christmas, New Years, MLK birthday, Lincolns birthday(state holiday), Presidents Day. 5 days that can't be counted.

HDUC10 Posted March 21, 2019 at 01:58 PM Share Posted March 21, 2019 at 01:58 PM I renewed my CCL and was approved on 2/22. On that same date my FOID number was changed to match the CCL. I received my new CCL card 2/27, but have yet to receive my replacement FOID card. Anyone else in the same boat waiting for the replacement FOID with these circumstances?

veganator Posted March 21, 2019 at 02:16 PM Share Posted March 21, 2019 at 02:16 PM I renewed my CCL back 12/30/18, did finger printing back when I originally applied 5 years ago and I don't expire until 3/30/19. when I try to do the inspect element I see nothing that makes sense or is clear to understand. I've had no issues with law prior to getting CCL or ever, can not really understand why it is taking this long for a renewal it didn't take this long when I first applied for my CCL 5 years ago. My FOID doesn't expire until 9/30/19, gotta love this state they can make anything more complicated and involved than it needs to be !!! I work out of state in Indiana during the week, hope I'm all good out there while our fine state takes their sweet a** time !!!! what's strange it it seems there are others who applied for renewal after I did and they seem further down the line / system than me, again our fine state doing what they do best !!!!

skinnyb82 Posted March 22, 2019 at 12:39 PM Share Posted March 22, 2019 at 12:39 PM Filed renewal on 12/24/18, license went active on the 19th. 86 days by my calculation, including government holidays. Not terrible but it took less time when I screwed up my app back in 2014 and had to file an affidavit stating I accidentally answered "yes" to the "have you EVER" (no time limitation) been in court-ordered drug and alcohol rehab (DUI "school") question.

Nanook Posted March 23, 2019 at 08:55 PM Share Posted March 23, 2019 at 08:55 PM I just hit 6 weeks and still 'under review'. Inspect element shows submitted with the other two still grayed out. Comically, I just received my UT renewal information. It will be $25 for me. Thing is I probably can't send it in until I get IL since they ask for a copy of your home state licence. They'd probably balk seeing the expiration date in June. I'll give them a call or email. I'll bet they're LOTS more helpful and responsive than IL.
