As residents continue to wait for firearm permits, Illinois State Police propose ‘modernization’ bill – Center Square

The state’s FOID card has been around since the 1960s. Illinois is the only state in the region that requires residents to possess a state-issued FOID card. But, for more than a year there have been backlogs in applications being processed in the tens of thousands.

Many stores are stating they will not sell a firearm or ammunition to law abiding citizens in Illinois once they are given a “grace period” letter from the state due to their FOID card being run out of time.
We paid over 30 million in fees for concealed carry and FOID in this state and they used the money for their foolish errors of spending. Put the money back in, fund the program and get the cards renewed now, this is their only recourse.
