FlyBoy4Life Posted April 12, 2022 at 10:31 AM Share Posted April 12, 2022 at 10:31 AM My medical marijuana card was canceled December 17, 2021. It is currently April 12, 2022. I had a denied firearm transaction from a local FFL in March of 2022. Based on the discretionary legal presumption... I am still considered a unlawful drug user. Yet no one can provide the written statue or section that indicates I have to wait a year. How would you guy's handle this appeal? A lawyer is a minimum of $2500.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmyers Posted April 12, 2022 at 11:35 AM Share Posted April 12, 2022 at 11:35 AM Me, I would wait till December to get my firearm. I wouldn't want to spend the money for the lawyer to try to fight the case now because by the time the case starts to take any movement, it will be after December. If it was after December and you received the letter, then I would mark the boxes and send it in. I would probably consult an attorney at that point. Just because the Government is doing something, doesn't mean it is legal. The question becomes how much is it worth to you to fight the battle against it?

FlyBoy4Life Posted April 12, 2022 at 12:18 PM Author Share Posted April 12, 2022 at 12:18 PM That seems to be the only reasonable option. Unlike the average tax payer, the state of illinois and the federal government have unlimited resources to fight against me with. I'm sure they will spare no expense. I can't afford that level of litigation unfortunately. Especially if they drag on longer than a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou Posted April 12, 2022 at 12:34 PM Share Posted April 12, 2022 at 12:34 PM Do you have a valid FOID card? If you do , have you thought about buying a firearm from an individual? IANAL but if the seller runs your FOID through the ISP and it comes back as valid it would be a legal sale. It might be worth pursuing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyBoy4Life Posted April 12, 2022 at 12:52 PM Author Share Posted April 12, 2022 at 12:52 PM That will work up until 2024. Then the state of illinois will force the secondary market to use a FFL as intermediary for the transfer.But I would like to be able a new firearm. I understand that is my option currently for the next two years till I get this appeal squared away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbacs Posted April 12, 2022 at 02:49 PM Share Posted April 12, 2022 at 02:49 PM FOID is good for two more years before expiration. A FTF transfer is a great option as you seem to be in a hurry. Lots of “new” guns come up for sale right here on IC. Then after December with a full year left on the FOID you can address this issue head on with having followed their rules. The only part that makes no sense in today’s system is you had and listed a medical card. And yet everyone else in Illinois is doing what you are doing “without” a card and just not bringing it up. Good Luck and scratch that itch with a FTF from some here or someone you know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lawyer is a minimum of $2500.00 Wondering if you had a 4473 go through in December (last month)? It's my understanding you have to wait 366 days from the cancelation of the MMC to pass the background. I surrendered/canceled my MMC on January 17, 2022 and am going to wait until the 23rd/24th of this month before I try to make a purchase at an FFL just to be safe.
