Earlier today, the petition to End Unlawful Illinois FOID Card Delays received its 1,000th signature. Unfortunately, that is reflection of the fact that the FOID delays continue.

Let’s ban all such heavenly displays as they tend to traumatize sensitive folks. And, they might spontaneously begin to spray rain bullets at any moment.

I called the ISP several times this morning to find out whether my application had been received. I sent it over a month ago, and because I used a USPS money order rather than a personal check, I have no way of knowing whether it has been cashed or not. I finally got through to a representative after repeatedly getting a message that hung up on me after telling me to call back later. The woman told me that my application has not been entered, and that the current FOID processing time is over four months! She recommended calling back next month to inquire again regarding the status

Got the card in the mail on March 7th. 72 days from mailing, 6 weeks from check clearing.

I mailed my renewal in September; They cashed my check around mid-October, and I finally got my FOID around mid-January. It was at least 90 days from the time they cashed my check until I got my new FOID. A friend of mine got his in about 60 days flat somehow, even though he applied for his sometime late November.

A lawsuit was filed over this nonsense last week in Madison County. It will be interesting.

A little over 3 months now and still no FOID. I called and they said I should receive it in another 7 to 10 days. That will be 3 1/2 mos. to renew a FOID. I called my state rep. and they needed the number from the back of the cashed check in order to check status with the state. The problem is that I can't read the number on the back of my check, so he was unable to take any action (sure). It will only get worse. It looks like Lisa Madigan may run for governor. God help us. I hate Illinois.

Update: As I said I called my rep on the 27th of Feb, they called me this morning and said it was cut Friday, I should have it in the mail this week. Call your rep! It works.

Comment on Every 13 Seconds, an American Uses a Gun in Self Defense by rich

Law abiding gun owners? I know plenty of gun owners that have permits and have seen them break the law in terms of how they carry their guns concealed and loaded without proper permits, drug possession, DUI, etc. and many of them weren't caught, but they weren't law abiding. So that's a misleading statement.

Of all of the gun owners I've ever known, NONE of them were always abiding the laws, even though they had gun permits and didn't have a criminal record.

Comment on Iowa: Expansive Gun Control Bill Introduced by J D Williamson.

J D Williamson. — Sun, 24 Feb 2013 04:20:30 +0000

Usless legislation, little to no benefit to law enforcement.
Will contribute to the eventual registration of firearms.
A handicap pertaining to passing guns on to distant relatives.
Severely hinders the trading buying & selling between friends
Prevents the loaning of a gun to a friend for a vacation hunt.

Recomending to all legislators a vote of NO on this bill.
