Illinois Denial Affected In Other States

[DMG2827]

Hey all, recently completed a FOID application, and should have researched beforehand, as Im seen by my family doctor for anxiety. Long story short, I should have answered no down the application. I have completed the inadvertent yes answer form to appeal as I dont fall into the criteria for disqualification/denial.

 

However, Ive read this can be a long process. My question is, my wife and I have been considering a move to Florida. Does this denial affect my 2nd amendment rights to purchase/carry in other states? I appreciate any feedback from those who are knowledgeable on this topic.

 

Thanks!

If you can get it corrected, that is the best choice. While it SHOULDN'T affect rights outside of IL, it's possible it could come back to haunt you.

 

I recommend you fix it. Inadvertent yes answers are answered more quickly than other types of appeals.
