Hey all,
Hope everyone's feeling good , especially my fellow Illinois folks.
This wasn't on my radar until this morning - https://www.commercial-news.com/new... replaced,be printed without expiration dates.
This isn't the clearest info but I was hoping someone in the know could shed some light. It appears that FOID and/or carry permits in the state will not expire anymore? I'm hoping this is true, it's certainly a burden to keep track of expiration date on both and the difference between when my carry permit expires VS when FOID card expires- as I understand if you've got a FOID card that expires but your carry permit is not it automatically makes the carry permit invalid.
The issue a lot of people run into is long waits for renewal, some over 12 months in some cases which leaves people unable to purchase guns, ammo, primers and in most cases powder even though technically their FOID is valid if the paperwork has been submitted.
It's been my experience that the state makes this process as difficult as possible to deter ownership. I know a couple years back the state police (or someone) was sued due to the cost of a FOID application that forced them to reduce the cost to $1 or some insignificant cost.
My question is this: if anyone knows, will this new law remove the requirement for current FOID cards to expire regardless of printed expiration date? In other words, will cards continue to expire on the date printed if they were current and up to date when the removal of expiration dates took place?
Illinois gun laws are clear as mud to me, I can't read legal-ese and make sense of it- to the point of I have never even been able to understand cook county's magazine capacity laws (I live in Mchenry co but work in Cook co and just carry 10 rd mags when in Cook co to avoid trouble)
Any one who knows please fill me in.
Thanks!
