A mess of uncertainty and litigation is sure to follow.
With $162 billion more from taxpayers, couldn’t you deliver a few bond upgrades, too
Still waiting on my FOID – applied July 2020. Emails sent to FOID address referred to on the site at 3 months and 6 months, neither responded to. Phone is never answered.
You should have applied the day of the riots – like I did. You’d have your FOID card by now. It seems like they stopped processing cards altogether around July.
Why bother to follow the law on FOIDS? The Illinois State Police is required by law to issue or deny a FOID within 90 or 120 days after receipt of application. Thousands of Illinois citizens applying for a FOID have not received their cards within the time frame. I have a friend with a pristine background who has waited over a year for a renewal of his FOID. If the ISP is not acting in accordance with the law, why should any one else?
Go to places like Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan, Iowa and take a good look. No stupid gun owners card required and the streets and rivers are not running in blood. Go to Chicago, note that’s in Illinois, where FOID(gun cards) are required and the streets are actually running in blood from the thousands of murders and shootings every year. That FOID card means a whole lot nothing, get rid of it.
I wonder if that 13 year old shot in Chicago had a FOID card? Maybe his application was pending…
