My background check for a Mosin-Nagant 1937 bolt action rifle took 4 days. The gun shop said it was typical for first-time customers.
Sometimes, Illinois will never give you a response. Your app gets “lost” in the shuffle. I don’t know what you can do about it, that’s just the way it is.
I prefer to rely on the Second Amendment as my permission slip.
glad I don’t live there. Illinois has been corrupt (thx Chicago) for decades, don’t expect anyone to give a crap about the regular citizen. It is a liberal sh!thole and probably can’t be saved.
You might think of moving somewhere else and adapting to more freedom-based life-style. IMO
This is mind over matter.
They don’t mind and you don’t matter.
call the Illinois state police. ask why the holdup. do you have a record that would bar you from getting a foid? maybe it’s just that many people are backlogging the system.
You’re a brave soul for trying to make a go of it in that state, considering that perverted, soul-killing, corruption-oozing, turd-world hellhole that sits in Cook County.
Sent my application in November; got the lousy card in March. Had to call them twice to find out what was going on (”lot’s of applications” . . .). The card came in the mail within a couple of days of my second call (as if they had been sitting on it until I called them).
The real kicker - my wife and son got theirs within the 30 day period (we all sent in forms on the same day).
Totally arbitrary so far as I can tell - pretty much like most of government in this God-forsaken state.
Much as I dislike the Chicago regime, the problem is probably due to backlog. They're getting buried under FOID requests.
Ever consider the undocumented route? As an undocumented firearm owner, I’m quite content.
