Philby v ISP (FCCL Denial)

[dalephilby]

I was one of the first people in Illinois to be denied an Illinois CCW permit. The ISP (Illinois State Police) policy dictates that any local law enforcement agency may object to any person having a CCW permit if, in their opinion, that person could pose a threat to themselves or others. This “rule” is in direct conflict with their own law which states that Illinois is a "Shall-Issue" state and no CCW permit can be denied if the applicant meets all of the criteria for application.

I contacted gunssavelife.com because of this article: http://www.gunssavelife.com/?p=11646

I found out I was one of many people caught in this circumstance and I was illegally denied my Illinois CCW permit. They are working with the NRA and their attorneys to address this issue for many of us. They informed me to file my appeal per the new law as they are not able to get an extension on the 31 day deadline to file the appeal in time. They provided a well written drafted example of the form for me to file.

I was told by the Circuit Clerk and the Judge’s Assistance (who conferred with the Judge) at McLean County Court that this is the first case for CCW denial they have seen.

This may be landmark legislation for all of our 2^nd amendment rights in Illinois and may set precedence for any future cases. I am reaching out to you because I am only one person with limited resources and I truly believe this issue is way more important than just me and deserves the best representation and media attention possible.

My request is for true 2A supporters to join me at the hearing and ensure this is witnessed and documented for the movement. I am looking for any possible media coverage that the court will allow including but not limited to video recording. I would also like to reach out to any sharp, zealous 2A supporting attorneys that would be proud to step up to the plate and represent not just me but, more importantly, the protection of our constitutional rights as gun owners and be on the forefront of this issue. I would ask if a true patriot could step up to the plate and take the lead in this cause pro bono since my resources are limited.

The hearing is scheduled for Friday May 30, 2014 at 9am in the McLean County, Illinois Court. Honorable Judge Rebecca S. Foley will be presiding. I have met Judge Foley and I am impressed with her capabilities and integrity.

Please feel free to message me on Facebook or send me an email if you would like to do your part to help our cause.

I moved your post from the Berron v ISP thread into its own in order to give it the attention it deserves.

 

Welcome to the forum, and thanks for posting.

Is there any reason you can think of why you might have been denied? Anything you can share?

I'd suggest answering such a question in an open forum would be unwise, given the case is pending trial.

I applaud you for stepping up for the cause, and coming out to the community to represent yourself to your fellow Illinois gun owners. Is there any way to get assistance from the NRA for legal counsel, or financial support for such an important case?

Good luck on your case. Your is the first one that I heard that was going to be that early. Mine is scheduled for 8/11 so keep us posted and I'm sure most that have been denied will be very interested in the outcome of your case.
