Tip Posted September 16, 2019 at 12:45 AM Share Posted September 16, 2019 at 12:45 AM Okay, so we lost my wife’s step-father in early 2017, and we lost her mom in early 2018. Both deaths were duly recorded with the State of Illinois. So imagine our surprise when we received two letters (one addressed to each of them) informing them that their FOID cards were about to expire and that they needed to renew them. Imagine our total shock when I went and ran them only to find out that they were both STILL ACTIVE and got approved for transfer. So you get rejected for putting Rd. Instead of Road on an app but are still good to go even if you die..... Good Job Illinois!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lou Posted September 16, 2019 at 01:13 AM Share Posted September 16, 2019 at 01:13 AM It’s only fair that if the dead are allowed to vote in Illinois they can posses firearms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragsbo Posted September 16, 2019 at 01:15 AM Share Posted September 16, 2019 at 01:15 AM My daughter got a notice that her CCL was due to renew and she has been out of the state for at least 3 years if not more. AND she did send her stuff back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you can just let them expire, then the antis will label them as "revoked" and get the ISP to execute a search warrant on their residence (which I guess is your residence, since you got the letters), possibly in a no-knock, pre-dawn raid, for the children.

tdiller Posted September 16, 2019 at 03:08 PM Share Posted September 16, 2019 at 03:08 PM There is an easy cure for all these dead people still on the rolls of different agencies. The social security office puts out a Death Master list that all the credit reporting agencies use to mark accounts.Just run the names in any of the databases against the Death Master.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_Master_File Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbacs Posted September 16, 2019 at 03:28 PM Share Posted September 16, 2019 at 03:28 PM 95% accurate at best, they say...... So the two listed in this post were the ones that slipped through.And when talking about millions, that’s a lot of dead people still listed as alive.
