THE KING Posted February 24, 2023 at 07:20 PM Share Posted February 24, 2023 at 07:20 PM A change in the law is why. Every time you make a firearm purchase, your FOID card expiration date gets moved out. And that's for those that have prints on file with the ISP.

Why? I received the email version 3 hours after I purchased a new firearm this week. They can move really fast when they want to. They are watching...

If anything this will tell me when my background check is approved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully. But buying a firearm is a heck of a lot easier than navigating through the renewal process. Every time I click that renew button for foid or CCL I have to pray to every deity I can think of that nothing goes wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobPistol Posted February 24, 2023 at 09:03 PM Share Posted February 24, 2023 at 09:03 PM So, every time someone buys a gun, they get their FOID card automatically renewed - no cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE KING Posted February 24, 2023 at 09:17 PM Share Posted February 24, 2023 at 09:17 PM No cost and you must have prints on file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2A4Cook Posted February 24, 2023 at 10:26 PM Share Posted February 24, 2023 at 10:26 PM I've gotten 4 of those in the past month or so. Yes, I buy too many guns and, yes, they are keeping track of it. All they need do is count the number of times the FOID was extended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That part didn't change. It's just painfully obvious now, as opposed to regular obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITguy1686 Posted March 2, 2023 at 09:59 PM Author Share Posted March 2, 2023 at 09:59 PM UPDATE: I received a new FOID card in the mail today IDENTICAL to the one I already have. Is this gonna happen every time we buy a gun now? I already had the ccl indicator on it so literally nothing changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only time i see fingerprints worth it is if your current job needed them, because at that point to me it makes no difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
