Jamie Posted February 7, 2019 at 04:02 PM Share Posted February 7, 2019 at 04:02 PM Well, ISP is taking it right up to the 30-day deadline for my FOID application (new, not a renewal). That got me wondering -- what happens if they go another four days without taking action? Is there relief available? Has anyone experienced this and taken them to court or applied for other relief?

Craigcelia Posted February 7, 2019 at 04:11 PM Share Posted February 7, 2019 at 04:11 PM That isn't bad. Years ago they were taking up to 6 months. Chalk it up to our great state bureaucracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigJim Posted February 7, 2019 at 08:13 PM Share Posted February 7, 2019 at 08:13 PM Wait until the requirement for the ISP to review all your social media prior to issuing you a FOID becomes law. It'll take a year for the ISP to scour everyone's social media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nod Posted February 9, 2019 at 10:55 PM Share Posted February 9, 2019 at 10:55 PM I just posted about this a week ago. It took 44 days to get my FOID renewed. Just got it in the mail yesterday. About a week after it showed it active online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamma Posted February 10, 2019 at 04:35 AM Share Posted February 10, 2019 at 04:35 AM My recent renewal took well over 30 days and even went 1 day over the expiration date. Card went active the day after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes months to train employees for the Firearm Services Bureau and requires a boatload of overtime. By the time someone has been trained, they have already accepted a position in a different branch or department. Vicious cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie Posted February 12, 2019 at 03:02 PM Author Share Posted February 12, 2019 at 03:02 PM I don't really care about FSB's manpower problems. ISP is mandated to make this deadline and fails to do so. They could issue temporary FOIDs as they complete the check, streamline the process, contract it out, or any of dozens of possibilities to meet the deadline. If this were about something minor we could let it slide, but this is -- as others have no doubt ranted before -- and infringement on a Constitutional right. I've got a squeaky clean background, high-level clearance, etc. Perfect for a lawsuit to challenge this nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he was talking about your FOID. If your FOID expires while you are waiting for the FOID to be renewed. Would your CCL be pulled for not having an active FOID. My first thought would be yes they would pull your CCL since you have no active FOID. As I understand, if your FOID expired, your CCL is now invalid, and you are now a criminal if you possess firearms. So my questions is, does your FOID remain valid past the expiration date if you've renewed and are eligible? I'll have to do some looking....

We have a federal system in place that does what the FOID check was supposed to do 30+ years ago, technology has advanced. The NICS system has been in place since 1998. I don’t know why this has not been challenged since NICS was up and running 1998. Eliminating FOID would free up ISP resources, and the state would no longer be infringing or abridging citizens rights, and not making people instant felons when their cards expire or get lost, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDUC10 Posted February 12, 2019 at 04:48 PM Share Posted February 12, 2019 at 04:48 PM My real point is, without a valid FOID (renewal applied but expired), never-mind having or not having a CCL, you no longer can possess firearms. I think you're a criminal at that point. That's a problem. I see the new law for this year giving the ISP 60 days to process a renewal. Have any gone longer than 60 days for a FOID renewal?

abolt243 Posted February 12, 2019 at 04:57 PM Share Posted February 12, 2019 at 04:57 PM Yes, if you apply for renewal of your FOID prior to it's expiration date, and you are not subject to revocation. So, it remains valid, your FCCL is also valid. The law: ( 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. If a renewal application has been submitted prior to the expiration date of the applicant's Firearm Owner's Identification Card, the Firearm Owner's Identification Card shall remain valid while the Department processes the application, unless the person is subject to or becomes subject to revocation under this Act. The cost for a renewal application shall be $10 which shall be deposited into the State Police Firearm Services Fund. (Source: P.A. 100-906, eff. 1-1-19.)

I've got a squeaky clean background, high-level clearance, etc. Perfect for a lawsuit to challenge this nonsense.I think some have tried. previously it was 30 days not its 60 days, you would have to wait to file suit till after the 60 day mark. The courts go so slow that when you finally get a date 4 months later, your FOID has been issued and the case is now moot. Now if an organization or lawyer was able to do file a class action based on infringement or undue stress by not getting your FOID in time, that would stick around and make it to court. No one wants to foot the bill for that court battle. So in the mean time, the ISP are in a position that they can disregard the time frame with out punishment. A bill needs t be brought forward that if the ISP goes over said time frame, the card cost should be refunded to the person. This, in my own 2cents, would be the best way forward to ensure the time frame is met. But a bill like that wouldn't get anywhere in this state either. ETA: i was using renewal in my example instead of new applicant. Sorry about that. Got mixed up between and another convo i was having. Replace the 60 for renewal with 30 for new applicant and it still applies why no one has sued them over this law.
