If you’re an Illinois resident hoping to exercise your Second Amendment rights for the very first time, there’s no way for you to do so quickly unless you’re willing to break the law. In order to legally possess a firearm in the state, residents have to obtain a Firearms Owners ID card issued by the Illinois State Police, and in order to carry that firearm you must have a valid concealed carry license. The problem is that it’s taking the ISP months to process a permit application for both FOID cards and concealed carry licenses.

Bob Jones of Outrageous Outdoors in Jerseyville, like many gun store owners, wants to see the state’s Firearm Owners Identification Card, or FOID, system abolished. Long delays, sometimes of more than a year, and the existing national firearms instant check system are among the issues cited.

With a proposal in the U.S. Congress to require people to get a license from the government to buy a firearm, some are pointing to Illinois’ Firearm Owner Identification Card law as obsolete.
U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, proposed a national bill requiring a firearm registry and a license along with a psychological evaluation for gun owners. But there are persistent problems with a decades-old gun licensing scheme in Illinois leading some to say citizen’s rights are being denied by months-long delays.
Illinois State Police Director Brendan Kelly said they need authority from the Illinois state legislature to “untangle and integrate Illinois gun owner licensing laws. There are competing proposals expected at the statehouse dealing with Illinois laws in different ways.
