Please send a private message to me with a copy of the letter from ISP stating the reason for the denial and we can see what steps you need to take next.

When you sent in the court order, did you include a 'records challenge appeal form with it?

IllinoisCarry will be contributing to the appeal and brief fees for the appeal. If you would like to contribute to the case, please scroll up to the DONATE button at the top of the page. Be sure to put "suppressor case" in the notes section.

Dog gone it.

This link has a lot of valuable information: https://www.fbi.gov/how-we-can-help-you/more-fbi-services-and-information/nics/national-instant-criminal-background-check-system-nics-appeals-vaf Prospective firearms buyers who receive a “Denied” status on their background checks may have a state or federal firearm prohibition. The denied individual may choose to pursue a challenge and/or apply to the Voluntary Appeal File.

And Ray and I have been corresponding about his situation for about 5 years now.

I believe the new statute also says the respondent has 24 hours to surrender "any firearms in their possession" (which were not surrendered at the time the OP was served) to local law enforcement. Sounds like he doesn't have any firearms in his possession nor does he have access to any.

A few posts removed from view, no need for name-calling, gentlemen.

And Illinois will allow an Illinois resident to get their rights restored in a previous state and allow them to them apply for a foid card. It can't be constitutional to not honor both ways. Good luck with your case.

Noted and will go out in First Class mail tomorrow!

Before these new rules, anyone with a federal conviction had no way to petition for restoration of rights. Some who had rights restored at the IL Supreme Court level were still prohibited from purchasing from an FFL because the restoration did not apply federally - or so they said. The big win is those who were prohibited for life may now petition for restoration of rights.

The letter is calling for two actions: Submitting the Firearm Disposition Form AND either submitting the FOID with that form OR have another FOID card holder hold the FOID until the suspension is ended.

But his FOID was not revoked, just suspended. Correct? If they say another FOID card holder can hold his FOID, then that is what I would do with the FOID card.

I would need to see from where this information is coming . . . someone seems confused . . .?
