Upholder Posted February 12, 2023 at 12:52 AM Share Posted February 12, 2023 at 12:52 AM HB2293 FOID – Ammunition - Would require, among other things that any ammunition transferred by a non-FFL: person transferring keeps a record for 10 years person receiving provide to an FFL within 10 days a transfer record to be kept for 20 years by the FFL, $25 max charge, etc. record includes quantity and type of ammo the application for transfer information from the ISP Class A misdemeanor for first offense, Class 4 felon for second or subsequent offenses for failing to keep the records Does still allow for shipping ammunition Appears to impose the same waiting periods for ammo as firearms approvals valid for 30 days This whole thing is a contradictory mess in the language, and following ToddV's advice, I won't elaborate. After Rhode v. Bonta is struck down this month in Cali, I'm sure that they're still gonna push it through, but hopefully it would be enjoined very quickly.

Their thinking they will just keep throwing stuff at the wall and make us keep spending money to knock them down as five more are written and passed. We need a desist on this crap, not a lawyer, but we need to start going after them and getting them disbarred, or sanctioned, I just don't know enough to say how.

DoYouFeelLucky Posted February 12, 2023 at 11:03 PM Share Posted February 12, 2023 at 11:03 PM As one of my three new neighbors who recently moved here from IL said, and I summarize "I don't give a sh@t about guns, what I do care about is a government that cares about the things that impact my family everyday". As our weather has been fairly nice lately I have spoken to all three new neighbors and they all exited IL for similar reasons. Only one of them is a gun owner and wanted to know how to get his IA CCW. Maybe it's not a movement to educate the IL voters on gun rights, however a movement to educate IL voters on how much of their money is being wasted and how much better their lives could be if the priorities were revised.

mauserme Posted February 16, 2023 at 12:44 AM Author Share Posted February 16, 2023 at 12:44 AM A couple more we oppose, both of them having already been ruled against in Ezell and Heller: Oppose HB2627 Firearm Dealers/Firearm Ranges Synopsis As Introduced Amends the Illinois Municipal Code.

Provides that subject only to the police power, in addition to the right of the individual citizen to keep and bear arms, the individual citizen has the right to carry firearms.

These are just bills that have been filed and that Illinois Carry is tracking in three basic categories of support/neutral/oppose. You can certainly call your representatives about them, but in general, 90% of these will sit in the Rules committee and go nowhere. We would only get an opportunity to file witness slips if they go to an actual committee and have a hearing. None of these are at that point in the process yet.
