hasoon2000 Posted August 26, 2021 at 03:08 PM Share Posted August 26, 2021 at 03:08 PM Renewal Applied 3-14-21 Still Under Review My only issue is that if I go to another state, I can't legally carry there because the license has an expiration date and is technically expired. I doubt other states would honor it legally. This is frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just some guy Posted August 27, 2021 at 05:14 PM Share Posted August 27, 2021 at 05:14 PM Exchanged emails with my State Rep's office 2 days ago. The exchange , in part: " I am asking for Mr. XXXXX's help in getting my FCCL renewed. My FCCL expired on 5/26/21. I renewed on 3/24/21, 5 months ago! The ISP instructs me to carry my receipt for renewal. I will be traveling out west in Sept. Each state I will be visiting honors a valid IL FCCL. Not an expired FCCL with a note from the government. This is such a hot mess it should be abolished. I feel my 2A rights are being infringed due to the inept administration of a constitutionally questionable law. I'm asking that Mr. XXXXX contact the ISP and have them expedite my renewal so that I may exercise my 2A Right while on vacation." "We got your message from Springfield as well. I can make an inquiry with the ISP in regards to your renewal status but I cannot expedite any processing times. Your card is legally valid. I will be very honest with you, renewals are taking almost a year or longer at this time. If you would like me to inquire about your status I am happy to do that-" "These ISP issues are putting an undue burden on folks simply trying to exercise their right. Will JB post my bail when another state doesn't honor my expired card?" "Thank you. I will get that request to them. If you have concerns with the other states honoring your legally valid card I strongly suggest that you reach out to the local or state police in the areas you will be traveling to inquire as to why they would not accept the card as valid. We have had other constituents who have traveled with their cards and the print out of their renewal and it has been just fine. Please let me know if you find that there are states that are not accepting that. Maybe the ISP can suggest something further or can speak with them." "I understand. But I think everyone would agree that this places an extra burden on folks. I also plan on carrying a note from Epstein's mother! LOL!!!" "We agree! The entire requirement is overly burdensome and should be done away with. Unfortunately, there would not be enough support to get that through the General Assembly. Thank you for your understanding and your humor :)" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's more than enough time to print a card and drop it in the mail. At that point your expiration date is ticking. Screw what the ISP says. The ISP is always going to say what is good for them. Governments take freedoms, that's what they do. Don't give them a single extra day in this entire charade. It doesn't take 30 days to print and mail a permission slip.

Molly B. Posted August 31, 2021 at 02:07 AM Share Posted August 31, 2021 at 02:07 AM Active status doesn't necessarily mean printed and mailed and in some parts of the state, mail from Springfield can take 10 days or more. So that 30 days is not a grace period for isp, it's a logical time frame for assuming the card has been lost in the mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaKoncepts aka CGS Posted August 31, 2021 at 11:52 AM Share Posted August 31, 2021 at 11:52 AM 10 days is more than adequate to determine a card has been lost in the mail. Why are we making excusing for bumbling government idiots? They can't process permission slips in time and they can't deliver mail in the same state within the same month? I can send a piece of mail to California in 5 days. Not the fault of We the People. Silence is consent. Raise heck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why wait to get the permission slip any longer. Government right? Right! At day 11 login and report that card lost or stolen, ( they lost it and your rights were stolen)! never mind that right after you click report lost or stolen the original card will become invalid (wouldn’t want a felon or mentally deranged person) to get that card some day! now that you’ve done the right thing (wink wink) you can wait as the process to get a new card will start the process all over again. Yeah yeah, 30 days blah blah, we know that’s not happening! So sit back strap in and get ready for another 120 days for the card to go active again. And if it doesn’t get here in 10 days, drop a few F-Bombs under your breath and login in again and report it lost or stolen. All while resting peaceful in knowing you’ve done the right thing. Don’t let the government get you, you make them get that card to you in 10 days or else. Stick it to the man and one day you’ll have that card in your hand. Good Luck! Oh and remember, It will get here soon and by soon I mean it WILL show up less than 10 days after you report it lost or stolen! Invalid but it will show up! /PURPLE/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike38 Posted September 6, 2021 at 02:31 AM Share Posted September 6, 2021 at 02:31 AM It's been 50 weeks since I applied for CCL renewal, the card I hold expired on 11/20.

Verdict Posted September 17, 2021 at 12:10 PM Share Posted September 17, 2021 at 12:10 PM I can't believe the day finally came. Made it to 558 days (applied 3/8/2020). Finally showing up as active, I do not have the card in hand yet. Per Illinois Statute, renewals with fingerprints shall be issued 90 days after submission. My renewal with fingerprints took them 558 days... I don't think that statute means anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
