So juveniles on probation for a firearm conviction would not be eligible for probation if they re-offend. That sounds like a good idea for an anti-crime bill, but the sponsor is a Chicago Democrat. Has anyone checked the temperature in Hell lately? (I'm sure it won't make it out of committee, but still ... something is wrong.)

 

So what happens when a FOID application is automatically approved at 30 days, but the ISP still doesn't mail the FOID?
