An aunt and uncle live in Illinois. Uncle died a few years ago, and a cousin is now trying to help the aunt with estate planning. She has asked me about help with his collection of guns (shotguns, rifles, pistols), as there are so many laws about them now. Basically the aunt wants to pass them on to the kids, some in state, some out.

Unlike half of OT, I really have put more than I want out here, but figure you guys being in Illinois and up on all of the changes in the Illinois gun laws could PM me with what I and my cousin need to be aware of.

Thanks.

Judge Considers Rewrite of Missouri Gun Rights Amendment Summary

A quick thanks to Bob for the quick response.

After reading through all he sent me, and reading more in the General Assembly area, I have concluded Illinois is so much a police state now, that Germany and Italy in the 1930s would have been more liveable. My conclusion is that everyone probably needs to get together, hang all the politicians, burn every piece of paper in the GA, and start from scratch.

What a complicated, confusing, and obviously intentional mess.

 

It sounds to me that if your FOID card expires, you must get rid of your guns or be illegal.

Of course, without a FOID card, you can't transfer guns, so you can't get rid of them.

Sounds like Catch 22.

It also sounds like infringing on the right to keep arms.

ILLINOIS STATE POLICE ANNOUNCE ALTERNATIVE APPLICATION OPTION TO APPLY FOR CONCEALED CARRY LICENSES

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 30, 2014

Officials to Accommodate Applicants Without Computer Access

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois State Police (ISP) officials announced today that an alternative application option to apply for a Concealed Carry License (CCL) is now available for those individuals without computer access.

Applicants can contact the ISP Firearms Services (FSB) Customer Service Center phone line at (217) 782-7980 and provide a FSB call taker with the same CCL application information that is currently required through the CCL on-line process.

The FSB call taker will need the applicants full name, any previous names, date of birth, drivers license number or state ID, Firearms Owner Identification (FOID) card number, current mailing address, ten years of previous address history, fingerprint Transaction Control Number (TCN) (which is optional), training instructors name and the Concealed Carry Trainers Identification (CCTID) number. Applicants should have this information readily available prior to calling the FSB Customer Service Center phone line.

Upon validation of the FOID number and driver’s license or identification card, payment in the form of credit card or electronic check will be needed and securely processed by the FSB call taker.

Once the CCL telephone application interview is completed and payment confirmed, the applicant will receive the application in the mail. Upon receipt, the applicant must review the application for accuracy, initial all required areas, answer the background check questions, and sign and date the application. The applicant must also attach a 2 inch by 2 inch headshot photo (shoulder to head) taken within the last 30 days and provide all required training certificates.

The completed application, photo, and training certificates must be returned to the ISP through the U.S. Postal Service before the application will be processed and a license issued.

The Illinois State Police is providing this alternative method to ensure that the public has options to participate in the CCL application process and to ensure turnaround times are met in accordance with the Firearm Concealed Carry Act.

To date, more than 78,000 CCL applications have been submitted and more than 60,000 are active across Illinois.

ISP continues to encourage the public to use the on-line CCL application option when possible for the most efficient processing method.

Completed CCL applications, photo and required training certificates can be mailed to:

The Illinois State Police Attn: CCL Application 801 South 7th Street, 400M Springfield, Il 62704
