State Rep. Curtis Tarver arrested for carrying a weapon with a revoked license
https://chicagocityw...revoked-license
State Rep. Curtis Tarver II (D-Chicago) was arrested Monday night in the Woodlawn section of Chicago and charged with carrying a weapon with an invalid concealed carry license (CCL), according to Chicago police.
Replying to an inquiry from Chicago City Wire, the CPD Office of Communications said that at approximately 8:32 p.m. on November 18 officers on patrol in the 6500 block of South Stony Island Avenue stopped a vehicle with a broken headlight. They asked the driver, whom they identified as Curtis Tarver, 38, if there were weapons in the vehicle.
The driver handed officers a weapon that was in the vehicle, as well as a concealed carry license, a CPD communications officer wrote in an email. Further investigation revealed the license was revoked. The subject was taken into custody and charged accordingly.

This is an example of the Illinois Democrat politicians who are writing laws that affect your Second Amendment Rights.

“. Tarver was charged with a misdemeanor for the invalid license. He was also cited for the faulty headlight. He was issued an I-bond (a no-cash bond) and released.”
He was charged with misdemeanor- not a felony. A felony would end his career.

So let me get this straight.
Invalid FCCL and carrying a gun, and he gets released on an I-bond.
Anthony Guban the Morton college student, sitting in class with a valid FCCL and his gun is in his car get no bail as he's considered a danger to public safety.
How in the **** is any of this even remotely fair. Our judicial system is FUBAR.

Why was his license revoked?
That is exactly the question I want to know.
Also, in situations such as this, legislators should absolutely know better, and if it's not some completely innocent mistake, he should be removed from office and barred from every participating in any capacity that involves public funding again, including lobbying.

Oh, that would be delightful! I wonder if she could be forced to issue some sort of statement! Or maybe she can be confronted with it at the next public town hall she attends.

I'd bet money on that too...probably changed his address along the way and nothing got forwarded.

Yes. The laws are enforced or not enforced based on who you know or other attributes. Kim Foxx won't even prosecute most crimes if the offender is a member of a racial minority.

You think he filled out the revoked form and turned in CCL/transferred firearms?
Does reapplying and getting a current FOID automatically reinstate the CCL?...in 2 days?
Story discussed at CapFax
https://capitolfax.c...ile.php?p=44039
and reported at Chicagocitywire
https://chicagocityw...revoked-license
..."From Rep. Tarver
On November 18, I was the subject of a routine traffic stop, at which time what appears to have been a clerical error regarding my concealed carry license resulted in my arrest. The facts are clear and supported by documents which I have shared with the Chicago Police Department: In August 2019, my concealed carry permit was renewed through August 2024. Upon receiving notice that concealed carry license was revoked because my Firearm Owners Identification Card (FOID) had expired I immediately renewed my FOID. The renewal was effective as of November 16. While I had no way of knowing, this renewal purportedly was not yet reflected in Chicago Police Department records. The department acknowledged that my FOID was valid as of November 16. This was two days prior to the traffic stop, indicating that the concealed carry license should also be valid. I fully expect this case will be resolved quickly and without incident.
Like many people in Chicago, I applied for a concealed carry license in order to keep myself and my daughter safe. I take considerable efforts to ensure that I am always in compliance with our states laws and following safe practices for handling a firearm. This commitment to stronger gun laws that promote responsible ownership is why I recently voted for the Fix the FOID Act, which cracks down on illegal gun sales, strengthens background checks and closes unnecessary loopholes. I look forward to continuing this work on behalf of our community and focusing efforts to prevent guns from getting into the wrong hands"...
