CHICAGO (WLS) -- If you're still waiting on your firearm ID card or concealed carry license from the state of Illinois, you're not alone. New complaints have come in from residents who say they applied for their firearm credentials months ago and are still waiting.
The problem predates the COVID-19 pandemic, but complaints continue to roll in. One Chicago man said the recent carjackings have made him even more concerned about being unarmed. He's demanding the state fix what he calls a broken system.
"I feel extremely unsafe every time I walk out of my house," said Terrence Thrower.
Thrower said he lost his wallet last year, which contained his Firearm Owner's Identification (FOID) card, as well as his concealed carry license (CCL).
